Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
tuvionthara takes your privacy seriously. We understand that when you share information with us, you're placing trust in how we handle it. This policy explains our approach to collecting, using, and protecting your personal information in straightforward terms.
We operate under Australian privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). If something here doesn't make sense, reach out and we'll clarify.
Information We Collect
The information we gather depends on how you interact with our financial statement analysis services. Here's what we typically collect and why it matters:
Information You Provide Directly
- Contact details: Your name, email address, phone number, and business address when you sign up or get in touch with us
- Account information: Username, password, and profile preferences you set up
- Financial documents: Statements, reports, and data you upload for analysis
- Payment information: Billing details and transaction history (though we don't store full credit card numbers)
- Communications: Messages you send through our contact forms, emails, or support channels
- Learning engagement: Your progress through educational materials and program participation
Information Collected Automatically
When you use our website, certain technical information gets logged. This helps us keep things running smoothly and spot any issues:
- Device information (browser type, operating system, screen resolution)
- IP address and general location data
- Pages visited, time spent, and navigation patterns
- Referral sources and search terms used to find us
- Session recordings for usability improvements (anonymized)
How We Use Your Information
We're not in the business of collecting data for its own sake. Everything we gather serves a specific purpose related to providing and improving our services.
| Purpose | Details |
|---|---|
| Service Delivery | Processing your financial documents, generating analysis reports, managing your account access |
| Communication | Responding to inquiries, sending important updates about your account or services, sharing educational content you've opted into |
| Payment Processing | Handling transactions, issuing invoices, maintaining billing records |
| Platform Improvement | Analyzing usage patterns to enhance features, fixing bugs, optimizing performance |
| Security | Detecting fraud, preventing unauthorized access, protecting against cyber threats |
| Legal Compliance | Meeting regulatory requirements, responding to lawful requests, enforcing our terms |
Marketing Communications: We'll only send you promotional emails if you've agreed to receive them. Every marketing email includes a simple unsubscribe option. Even if you opt out of marketing, we'll still send essential account-related messages.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We don't sell your personal information. Period. But we do share it in specific situations where it's necessary to provide our services or comply with legal obligations.
Service Providers
We work with trusted third-party companies that help us operate our platform. These include cloud hosting providers, payment processors, email service providers, and analytics tools. All these partners are contractually required to protect your data and can only use it for the specific purposes we've authorized.
Legal Requirements
Sometimes we're legally obligated to share information with government authorities, law enforcement, or regulatory bodies. This happens when we receive a valid court order, subpoena, or when we need to protect our legal rights or prevent harm.
Business Transitions
If tuvionthara is acquired by or merges with another company, your information would likely transfer as part of that transaction. We'd notify you before this happens and explain any changes to how your data is handled.
Data Security Measures
Protecting your information isn't just a legal requirement for us—it's fundamental to running a trustworthy service. Here's how we approach security:
- Encryption: All data transmitted to and from our servers uses TLS encryption. Sensitive data at rest is also encrypted using industry-standard protocols
- Access controls: Only authorized staff can access personal information, and only when necessary for their role. We maintain detailed access logs
- Regular audits: Our systems undergo security reviews and vulnerability assessments throughout the year
- Secure infrastructure: We use reputable cloud providers with robust physical and digital security measures
- Incident response: We have procedures in place to detect, respond to, and notify you about any data breaches
- Staff training: Everyone on our team receives regular training on data protection and security best practices
No system is completely impervious to attacks, but we maintain multiple layers of protection and stay current with evolving security standards.
Your Privacy Rights
Australian privacy law gives you several rights regarding your personal information. Here's what you can do and how to exercise these rights:
- Access your information: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We'll provide this within 30 days, usually in a portable format like CSV or PDF.
- Correct inaccuracies: If something we have on file is wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it promptly.
- Request deletion: You can ask us to delete your personal information, subject to certain limitations (like legal retention requirements or outstanding transactions).
- Object to processing: If you disagree with how we're using your data for a particular purpose, you can object and we'll assess whether we can accommodate your request.
- Restrict processing: In some situations, you can ask us to temporarily limit how we use your information while we resolve a dispute or verify accuracy.
- Data portability: You can request your data in a structured, commonly used format to transfer to another service provider.
- Withdraw consent: Where we're processing data based on your consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at help@tuvionthara.com with your request. We'll verify your identity and respond within the timeframes required by Australian law. There's no charge for most requests, though we may charge a reasonable fee for repeated or manifestly unfounded requests.
Cookie Usage and Tracking
Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies. These are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and understand how people use our site.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality like logging in and maintaining your session. You can't opt out of these if you want to use our services
- Performance cookies: Help us understand which pages are popular, where people spend time, and what might be confusing. These are usually anonymized
- Functionality cookies: Remember your preferences like language settings or display options
- Analytics cookies: Provide detailed insights into user behavior so we can improve the platform
You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Blocking certain cookies might affect your ability to use some features of our platform.
Data Retention
We don't keep your information longer than necessary. How long we retain data depends on its type and purpose:
- Account information: Retained while your account is active, plus 7 years after closure for financial and legal compliance
- Financial documents: Kept for 7 years after your last interaction, in line with Australian tax and business record requirements
- Communications: Support emails and messages retained for 3 years to maintain service quality records
- Technical logs: Server and security logs kept for 12 months, then deleted or anonymized
- Marketing data: Removed immediately when you unsubscribe from marketing communications
When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your information so it can't be traced back to you.
International Data Transfers
Your data is primarily stored on servers located in Australia. However, some of our service providers operate infrastructure in other countries, which means your information might be processed or stored overseas.
When we transfer data internationally, we ensure adequate protections are in place through standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, or other approved mechanisms under Australian law. Countries where data may be transferred include the United States and members of the European Economic Area.
Children's Privacy
Our services aren't designed for children under 18. We don't knowingly collect information from minors. If you're a parent or guardian who believes we've accidentally collected information about your child, contact us immediately and we'll delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you via email or through a prominent notice on our website at least 30 days before the changes take effect.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page shows when we last revised the policy. We encourage you to review it periodically, especially before providing new personal information.
Complaints and Disputes
If you believe we've mishandled your personal information or violated your privacy rights, we want to know about it. Here's the process:
- Contact our privacy officer at help@tuvionthara.com with details of your concern
- We'll acknowledge your complaint within 7 days and investigate the matter
- You'll receive a written response within 30 days outlining our findings and any actions taken
- If you're not satisfied with our response, you can escalate to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC)
The OAIC can be contacted at 1300 363 992 or through their website at oaic.gov.au. They provide a free complaint handling service for privacy matters.
