Privacy Policy

cythoralivenqo Australia Pty Ltd (ACN 123 456 789) operates cythoralivenqo.com, providing financial education and literacy resources to Australian residents. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

We recognize that your privacy is important. Whether you're browsing our educational content, participating in our learning programs, or contacting us for support, we want you to feel confident about how your information is handled.

We collect different types of information depending on how you interact with our platform. Here's what we gather and why:

We only collect information that's necessary for providing our services or that you voluntarily provide to us. You can always choose what information to share, though some details may be required for specific services.

Your information serves several important purposes in helping us deliver quality financial education:

• Service Delivery: Creating and maintaining your account, tracking your learning progress, and providing personalized educational recommendations
• Communication: Sending course updates, educational newsletters, and responding to your inquiries
• Platform Improvement: Analyzing usage patterns to enhance our educational content and user experience
• Legal Compliance: Meeting our obligations under Australian consumer protection and educational service regulations
• Security: Protecting against fraud, unauthorized access, and maintaining the integrity of our systems

We don't use your information for automated decision-making that would significantly affect you, and we never sell your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.

We keep your information private, but there are specific circumstances where sharing may occur:

All third-party service providers are required to meet Australian privacy standards and are bound by confidentiality agreements. We never share your information for others' marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

We take protecting your information seriously and employ multiple layers of security:

• Encryption: All data transmission uses SSL/TLS encryption, and sensitive data is encrypted at rest
• Access Controls: Staff access is limited to those who need it for their role, with regular access reviews
• Regular Audits: Quarterly security assessments and annual third-party security reviews
• Incident Response: 24/7 monitoring with established procedures for addressing security incidents
• Data Minimization: We only collect and retain the minimum information necessary for our services

Despite our strong security measures, no system is completely secure. We'll notify you promptly of any data breach that's likely to result in serious harm, as required by Australian law.

We keep your information only as long as necessary for the purposes we collected it:

• Active Accounts: Information is retained while your account is active and for 2 years after your last login
• Educational Records: Course completion and certification records are kept for 7 years to comply with educational standards
• Communication Records: Support interactions and correspondence are retained for 3 years for quality assurance
• Legal Requirements: Some information must be retained longer to meet Australian business and tax record requirements

When we delete your information, we ensure it's completely removed from our active systems and cannot be recovered. Backup copies are securely destroyed according to our data retention schedule.

You can request early deletion of your information at any time, though we may need to retain certain records to meet legal obligations.

We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience on our platform:

• Essential Cookies: Required for basic site functionality, login sessions, and security features
• Performance Cookies: Help us understand how you use our site to improve performance and content
• Preference Cookies: Remember your settings and preferences for a more personalized experience
• Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand site usage patterns (with IP anonymization enabled)

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Disabling certain cookies may limit some site functionality but won't prevent you from accessing our core educational content.

We don't use cookies for behavioral advertising or share cookie data with advertising networks.

While cythoralivenqo is an Australian company, some of our service providers operate internationally. When your information is transferred outside Australia, we ensure it receives equivalent privacy protection:

• Adequacy Determinations: We prioritize transfers to countries with adequate privacy protections as recognized by Australian law
• Contractual Safeguards: All international service providers sign agreements requiring Australian-equivalent privacy protections
• Regular Monitoring: We regularly review international transfers and update protections as privacy laws evolve

Currently, some of our data may be processed in the United States and European Union by cloud service providers who have committed to strong privacy protections.

We update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, and legal requirements. Here's how we handle updates:

• Notification: We'll email active users about significant changes at least 30 days before they take effect
• Website Notice: Policy updates are prominently displayed on our website with clear change summaries
• Version History: Previous policy versions are available upon request for transparency
• Your Choices: If changes significantly affect how we use your information, we'll seek your consent where required by law

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of our services after policy updates constitutes acceptance of the changes, unless additional consent is required.
