To exercise any of these rights, please contact our privacy team using the information provided at the bottom of this policy. We'll respond to your request within 30 days and may need to verify your identity to protect your personal information.

Technical Safeguards

We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data both in transit and at rest. Our systems are regularly updated and monitored for security vulnerabilities. All data transmissions are secured using SSL/TLS encryption protocols.

• 256-bit SSL encryption for all data transmissions
• Advanced firewall protection and intrusion detection

Access Controls

Access to your personal information is strictly limited to authorized personnel who need it to perform their job functions. All employees undergo background checks and receive privacy training. We maintain detailed access logs and regularly review permissions.

Incident Response

In the unlikely event of a data breach, we have comprehensive incident response procedures in place. We'll notify affected users and relevant authorities within the timeframes required by law and take immediate steps to contain and remedy the situation.

Retention Periods

Account information is retained for the duration of your active account plus seven years for regulatory compliance. Financial transaction data is kept for seven years as required by Australian financial regulations. Communication records are retained for three years for customer service purposes.

Deletion Process

When data reaches the end of its retention period, we securely delete it from our systems. Deletion includes removing data from active databases, backup systems, and any archived copies. We use secure deletion methods that prevent data recovery.

Transfer Safeguards

When we transfer personal information internationally, we use mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, or other legal frameworks to ensure your data receives equivalent protection. All international service providers must meet our strict security and privacy standards.

Data Processing Locations

Most of your data is processed and stored within Australia. However, some services like cloud backup and customer support may involve processing in other countries with adequate privacy protections, such as the European Union or countries with similar privacy frameworks.

Notification Process

When we make significant changes to this policy, we'll provide at least 30 days' notice before the changes take effect. Minor updates, such as clarifications or contact information changes, may be made without advance notice but will be clearly marked with updated dates.

By continuing to use our services after policy changes take effect, you agree to the updated terms. If you disagree with changes, you may close your account, though some information may be retained for legal compliance purposes.
