Information We Collect

Running a business budgeting platform means we need certain information to provide you with useful services. Here's what we typically collect and why it matters.

Personal Information You Provide

When you sign up for our services or reach out to us, we collect details like your name, email address, phone number, and business information. If you're using our budgeting tools, we'll also collect financial data relevant to your business planning needs.

Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, ours collects technical information automatically. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you interact with our site. We use this data to improve our services and understand what's working (and what isn't).

How We Use Your Information

We're not in the business of misusing your data. Everything we collect serves a specific purpose related to providing better budgeting services.

• Delivering the budgeting tools and services you've requested
• Communicating with you about your account, updates, or support issues
• Improving our platform based on usage patterns and feedback
• Meeting our legal obligations under Australian tax and business laws
• Protecting against fraud and unauthorized access
• Analyzing trends to develop better features for Australian businesses

Data Sharing and Disclosure

Sometimes we need to share information with others to keep things running smoothly. But we're selective about who we work with and why.

Service Providers

We work with trusted companies that help us deliver our services—things like cloud hosting, payment processing, and email delivery. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and can only use it for the specific services they provide to us.

Legal Requirements

If Australian law requires us to disclose information (like in response to a court order or regulatory inquiry), we will. We'll notify you when legally permitted to do so.

Business Transfers

Should autirvaaveso be acquired or merge with another company, your information would be transferred as part of that transaction. We'd let you know before this happens.

Your Privacy Rights

Australian privacy law gives you significant control over your personal information. Here's what you can do.

Data Security Measures

We take security seriously because your business data deserves proper protection. Our approach includes multiple layers of defense.

• Industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Restricted access controls—only authorized personnel can access your data
• Secure Australian-based data centers with physical security measures
• Regular backups to prevent data loss
• Employee training on privacy and security best practices
• Incident response procedures if something does go wrong

That said, no system is completely foolproof. We do everything reasonably possible to protect your information, but we can't guarantee absolute security. If we detect a data breach that may affect you, we'll notify you as required by Australian law.

Data Retention and Deletion

We don't keep your information longer than necessary. How long we retain data depends on its type and purpose.

Active Accounts

While you're using our services, we'll keep the information needed to provide those services effectively.

Closed Accounts

After you close your account, we'll retain certain records for seven years to comply with Australian taxation and business record requirements. Financial records particularly need to be kept for this period under tax law.

Marketing Data

If you've opted out of marketing communications, we'll keep a record of your opt-out preference to ensure we don't accidentally contact you again.

Deletion Process

When data reaches the end of its retention period, we securely delete it using industry-standard methods that prevent recovery.

International Data Transfers

Your data is primarily stored in Australia. However, some of our service providers operate internationally, which means your information might occasionally be processed overseas.

When we transfer data internationally, we ensure adequate protections are in place. This includes using providers in countries with substantially similar privacy protections to Australia or requiring contractual commitments to protect your data according to Australian standards.

You have the right to know which countries your data might be sent to. Contact us for specific details about our current service providers and their locations.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like most modern websites, we use cookies and similar technologies. These small files help our site function properly and let us understand how people use our platform.

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the site to work. They handle things like keeping you logged in and remembering your preferences.

Analytics Cookies

We use these to understand how visitors interact with our site—which pages are popular, where people get stuck, and how we can improve. This data is aggregated and doesn't identify you personally.

Managing Cookies

Your browser lets you control cookies. You can block or delete them, though some parts of our site might not work properly if you do.

Children's Privacy

Our services are designed for businesses and aren't intended for children under 18. We don't knowingly collect information from minors. If we discover we've inadvertently collected such information, we'll delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

Privacy regulations evolve, and so do our practices. We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, or our business operations.

When we make significant changes, we'll notify you by email or through a prominent notice on our website. The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when we last revised this policy.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we're protecting your information.
