Learn about how we protect, store and use data here at Atomi
When you use Atomi services, you trust us with your information. This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. This is important stuff, so grab a coffee, slip into a comfortable chair and take some time to read it carefully.
There are many different ways you can use our services – to view and share information, to communicate with other people or to create new content. When you share information with us, for example by creating an Atomi Account, we can make those services even better – to show you relevant content, to help you keep track of where you’re up to or to make working with your school easier. As you use our services, we want you to be clear on how we’re using information and the ways in which you can protect your privacy.
We’ve tried to keep it as simple as possible, but if you’re not familiar with technical terms like cookies, IP addresses and browsers, we’ve explained some of the key terms at the bottom of this document. Your privacy matters to us so whether you are new to Atomi or a long-time user, we want you to be comfortable with our practices – so if you have any questions contact us.
We collect information to provide you with the best user experience. This information helps us show you content relevant to what you’re studying, tailor content to your level of understanding and to better understand how we can improve Atomi services in the future. We collect information in the following ways:
Information we collect when you are signed in to Atomi may be associated with your Atomi Account. When information is associated with your Atomi Account, we treat it as personal information. For more information about how you can access, manage or delete information that is associated with your Atomi Account, visit the 'Accessing and updating your personal information' section of this policy.
We use the information we collect from all of our services to maintain, protect and improve them, to develop new ones, and to protect Atomi and its users. We also use this information to offer you tailored content – like displaying only content for the subjects you study and offering targeted support in specific topic areas you may be struggling with.
We will not collect, use, or share student behavioural information for any purposes beyond educational or school purposes, or as authorized by you, your school admistrator or legal guardian.
When you contact us, we keep a record of your communication to help solve any issues you might be facing. We may use your email address to inform you about our services, such as letting you know about upcoming changes or improvements.
We will ask for your consent before using information for a purpose other than those that are set out in this Privacy Policy.
Atomi processes personal information on our servers in many countries around the world. We may process your personal information on a server located outside the country where you live.
We do not share personal information with companies, organisations and individuals outside of Atomi unless one of the following circumstances applies:
From time-to-time we may share non-personally identifiable information publicly. For example, we may share non-personally identifiable information to show trends about the general use of our services.
If Atomi is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of any personal information and give affected users notice before personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy. In such an event, if a future Privacy Policy does not comply with the principles outlined in the Student Privacy Pledge, you will have the choice to withhold the transfer of personal information.
We use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them). We use the following types of cookies for the purposes explained below:
Many web browsers allow you to manage your preferences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or delete certain cookies. Please note that if you choose to block cookies, doing so may impair the working of Atomi or prevent certain elements of it from functioning.
By agreeing to this privacy policy you agree to the use of cookies and other technologies as described above.
We work hard to protect Atomi and our users from unauthorised access to or unauthorised alteration, disclosure or destruction of information we hold. In particular:
Whenever you use our services, we aim to provide you with access to your personal information. If that information is wrong, we strive to give you ways to update it quickly or to delete it – unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. We do not retain student personal information for longer than necessary to provide Atomi services or for school purposes.
When updating your personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request. We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup systems).
Where we can provide information access and correction, we will do so for free, except where it would require a disproportionate effort. We aim to maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. Because of this, after you delete information from our services, it may take some time to delete residual copies from our active servers and backup systems.
Requests to access, update or delete your personal information can be made to support@getatomi.com or via the detials set out in the 'Contact Us' section of this policy.
Atomi is bound by the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), which sets out a number of principles concerning the privacy of individuals, in addition to other self-regulatory frameworks such as the Student Privacy Pledge.

We will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.
