We engage trusted third-party service providers for payment processing, email delivery, website hosting, analytics, and customer support. These providers access your information solely to perform services on our behalf and are required to maintain confidentiality and security standards equivalent to our own.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your personal information if required by Australian law, court order, or government regulation. This includes compliance with taxation requirements, regulatory investigations, or legal proceedings. We will notify you of such disclosures where legally permitted.

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your personal information is fundamental to our operations. We implement comprehensive security measures designed to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Technical Safeguards

Our platform uses industry-standard encryption protocols (SSL/TLS) for data transmission, secure servers with regular security updates, multi-factor authentication for administrative access, and automated backup systems with encryption at rest. We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to maintain the highest protection standards.

Access Controls

Access to your personal information is restricted to authorized orixalavene staff members who require it for legitimate business purposes. Our team receives regular privacy and security training, and all access is logged and monitored. We maintain strict policies regarding data handling, storage, and disposal.

In the unlikely event of a data breach that may affect your personal information, we will notify you within 72 hours as required by Australian privacy legislation. We maintain detailed incident response procedures and work with cybersecurity experts to address any security concerns promptly and effectively.

Your Privacy Rights Under Australian Law

As an Australian resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information under the Privacy Act 1988. We are committed to facilitating these rights and making the process straightforward and accessible.

Access Your Information

Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you, including how we collected it and how we use it. We provide this information in a clear, accessible format within 30 days of your request.

Correct Inaccurate Data

Request corrections to any personal information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. We will update your information promptly and notify any third parties who received the incorrect information where appropriate.

Delete Your Information

Request deletion of your personal information where there is no legitimate business or legal reason for us to retain it. Please note that some information may be retained for legal compliance or legitimate business purposes.

Restrict Processing

Request that we limit how we use your personal information in certain circumstances, such as while we verify the accuracy of disputed information or assess the legitimacy of a deletion request.

Data Portability

Request a copy of your personal information in a structured, commonly used format that allows you to transfer the data to another service provider if desired.

Object to Processing

Object to our use of your personal information for direct marketing purposes or where we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing your data.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy, comply with legal obligations, and resolve any disputes that may arise.

Retention Periods

Educational records and progress data are retained for seven years after course completion to support ongoing learning recommendations and alumni services. Financial and payment information is kept for seven years to meet Australian taxation and accounting requirements. Marketing preferences and communication history are maintained until you opt out or request deletion.

Automated Deletion

We have implemented automated systems that regularly review and delete personal information that has reached the end of its retention period. Account information for inactive users (no login activity for 3 years) is automatically flagged for review and potential deletion, with prior notification to the account holder.

Secure Disposal

When personal information is deleted, we ensure complete removal from our active systems and backups using secure deletion methods that prevent data recovery. Physical documents containing personal information are shredded or incinerated by certified data destruction services.
