Privacy Policy

This policy explains how DissertationHelp.au collects, uses, stores and protects your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Last updated: 2026.

1. Who we are

DissertationHelp.au is an Australian academic support service providing thesis coaching, chapter-by-chapter feedback, methodology guidance, editing and proofreading to Honours, Master's and PhD students. You can contact us at 26 Pebble Street, Endeavour Hills, VIC 3802, Australia, by phone on +61 370 761 224, or by email at support@dissertationhelp.au.

2. Information we collect

  • Contact details: your name, email address, phone number and timezone.
  • Academic briefs: your discipline, level, university guidelines, drafts, supervisor comments and deadlines that you choose to upload.
  • Payment information: processed by our secure payment providers; we do not store full card numbers on our servers.
  • Usage data: pages visited, device and browser information, and approximate location, collected through cookies and analytics.
  • Communications: records of live chat, WhatsApp, email and phone enquiries.

3. How we use your information

  • To prepare quotes, deliver the services you book and manage revisions.
  • To match you with a discipline-specialist academic.
  • To communicate with you about your order, including in AEST support hours.
  • To process payments and prevent fraud.
  • To improve our website and services, in aggregated or de-identified form.

We never use your drafts or personal information to contact your university, supervisor or any third party about your candidature.

4. Disclosure of your information

We only share personal information with the people and providers needed to deliver your service: your assigned academic (under confidentiality obligations), secure payment processors, and IT/hosting providers. We do not sell your information, and we never disclose your identity or use of our service to your university or any other third party unless required by Australian law.

5. Storage and security

Your information is stored on encrypted systems with access limited to authorised staff. We retain files only for as long as needed to deliver your service and meet our legal obligations. You may ask us to delete your files at any time and we will do so, except where we are required by law to keep records (for example, tax invoices).

6. Access, correction and deletion

Under the APPs you may request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email support@dissertationhelp.au and we will respond within a reasonable time, usually within 30 days.

7. Cookies and analytics

We use cookies to keep the site working, remember your preferences and understand how the site is used. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features (such as the quote calculator) may not work as smoothly.

8. Overseas disclosure

Some of our support systems and staff (including our WhatsApp support line) operate outside Australia. Where personal information is handled overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is protected in line with the APPs.

9. Complaints

If you believe we have breached your privacy, contact us at support@dissertationhelp.au or +61 370 761 224 and we will investigate and respond. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always published on this page, and material changes will be noted here.
