4. Your Rights and Choices

Under Australian privacy laws, you have several rights regarding your personal information. We make it easy for you to exercise these rights and maintain control over your data.

5. Data Security and Protection

Protecting your personal and financial information is one of our highest priorities. We've implemented comprehensive security measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

  • Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols. Sensitive information is also encrypted when stored in our databases.
  • Access Controls: Only authorized personnel have access to your information, and access is limited to what's necessary for their job functions. All access is logged and monitored.
  • Regular Security Audits: We conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in our systems.
  • Secure Infrastructure: Our systems are hosted in secure data centers with physical security controls, redundant power supplies, and environmental monitoring.
  • Staff Training: All employees receive regular training on data protection practices and are bound by confidentiality agreements.
  • Incident Response: We have procedures in place to quickly detect, respond to, and notify you of any security incidents that might affect your information.

While we implement strong security measures, no online service is completely immune to security threats. We encourage you to protect your account by using a strong, unique password and enabling two-factor authentication when available.


6. Data Retention and Deletion

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

Information Type Retention Period Reason
Account information Until account closure + 7 years Regulatory compliance
Financial advice records 7 years from last service ASIC requirements
Transaction records 7 years from transaction Tax and audit purposes
Marketing communications Until you unsubscribe + 2 years Preference management
Website usage data 26 months Analytics and improvement

When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it. For digital records, this means overwriting the data multiple times to ensure it cannot be recovered. Physical documents are securely shredded or incinerated.

If you close your account, we'll delete your personal information according to the schedule above, unless we're required to keep it longer for legal reasons. You can always contact us to ask about the status of your information or request early deletion where legally permissible.
