Information Sharing and Disclosure

We maintain strict controls over how your information is shared. varzolipex only discloses personal information in limited circumstances, always with appropriate safeguards in place.

Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party providers for essential services like data hosting, analytics, and customer communication. These providers are contractually bound to protect your information and can only use it for the specific services they provide to us.

Legal Requirements: Australian law may require us to disclose information in specific circumstances, such as court orders, regulatory investigations, or to prevent serious crimes. We review all such requests carefully and only provide the minimum information necessary.

Business Transfers: If varzolipex is acquired or merges with another company, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. You would be notified in advance of any such change and your rights under this privacy policy would remain protected.

We never share your financial goal information with marketing companies, advertisers, or other third parties for their commercial purposes. Your privacy is not a product we sell.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Australian Privacy Principles and international privacy standards, you have several important rights regarding your personal information. We've designed straightforward processes to help you exercise these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our privacy team using the details provided below. We typically respond within seven business days and complete most requests within 30 days. Some requests may take longer for complex data retrieval, but we'll keep you informed of our progress.

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your financial information requires comprehensive security measures. We've implemented multiple layers of protection to safeguard your data against unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure.

Technical Safeguards: All data transmission occurs over encrypted connections using TLS 1.3 encryption. Your information is stored on secure servers with advanced access controls, regular security audits, and automated threat monitoring systems.

Access Controls: Only authorised varzolipex personnel can access your personal information, and only when necessary for providing services or resolving technical issues. All access is logged and regularly reviewed for suspicious activity.

Regular Security Updates: We continuously update our security measures to address emerging threats. Our systems undergo regular penetration testing and security assessments by independent security firms.

If we detect any security incident that may affect your information, we'll notify you promptly and explain what happened, what information was involved, and what steps we're taking to address the situation.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Different types of information have different retention periods based on their purpose and legal requirements.

Active Account Data: While your account remains active, we retain your goal tracking information to provide ongoing services. You can delete specific goals or update information at any time through your account settings.

Closed Account Data: When you close your account, we begin a deletion process. Most personal information is removed within 90 days, though some records may be retained longer to comply with Australian financial services regulations.

Legal and Regulatory Requirements: Certain information must be retained for specific periods under Australian law, particularly records related to financial services and customer communications. These retention periods vary but typically range from three to seven years.

We regularly review stored information and automatically delete data that's no longer needed. You can request specific deletion of particular information types by contacting our support team, subject to legal retention requirements.

International Data Transfers

varzolipex primarily stores and processes your information within Australia using local data centers and cloud services. However, some of our trusted service providers operate internationally, which may involve transferring your information overseas.

When international transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place. This includes using providers that comply with international privacy standards, implementing contractual protections, and ensuring equivalent privacy protections exist in destination countries.

Countries where your information might be processed include the United States and European Union member states, all of which have been assessed by the Australian government as providing adequate privacy protections or are covered by specific international agreements.

You have the right to request information about specific international transfers of your data and the safeguards we've implemented to protect your information during these transfers.
