We're committed to maintaining the highest standards of data protection while providing you with the sophisticated financial tools you need. Our approach balances comprehensive data security with transparency about our practices.

We never sell your personal data to third parties, and we only collect information that's necessary to provide our services or as required by Australian financial regulations.

How We Use Your Information

Your information enables us to deliver sophisticated financial analysis tools while maintaining compliance with Australian financial regulations. Here's how we use different types of data:

Core Platform Services

We process your financial data to generate investment analyses, risk assessments, portfolio optimizations, and market insights. This includes creating custom reports, trend analyses, and performance benchmarking tailored to your specific needs.

Account Management & Security

Your identity and contact information helps us maintain secure accounts, verify authorized access, process subscription payments, and provide customer support. We also use this data to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements.

Platform Improvement

Usage patterns and feedback guide our development priorities, helping us enhance existing features and create new tools that better serve investment professionals. We analyze aggregated usage data to identify areas for improvement.

Communication & Support

We use your contact information to send important account updates, security notifications, platform announcements, and respond to support requests. You can control marketing communications through your account preferences.

We never use your sensitive financial data for marketing purposes or share it with third parties except as explicitly outlined in this policy.

Data Sharing & Disclosure

We maintain strict controls over data sharing and only disclose information in specific, limited circumstances:

Service Providers

We work with carefully vetted third-party providers for cloud hosting, payment processing, data analytics, and customer support. These providers operate under strict contractual obligations to protect your data and can only use it for specified services.

Financial Institution Connections

When you authorize connections to banks or investment platforms, we share necessary authentication and query information to retrieve your financial data. These connections use bank-grade security protocols and are subject to your explicit consent.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when required by Australian law, court orders, regulatory investigations, or to protect our legal rights. This includes compliance with AML/CTF regulations and other financial sector requirements.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the new entity, subject to the same privacy protections outlined in this policy.

  • We never sell personal data to advertisers or data brokers
  • All service providers sign comprehensive data protection agreements
  • We maintain logs of all data access and sharing for audit purposes
  • Emergency disclosures are limited to preventing serious harm or illegal activity

Your Privacy Rights

Under Australian privacy laws and our commitment to data transparency, you have several important rights regarding your personal information:

Access Your Data

Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you, including how it's being used and who it's shared with.

Correct Information

Update or correct inaccurate personal information through your account settings or by contacting our support team.

Delete Your Data

Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements and active service agreements.

Restrict Processing

Limit how we use your information in specific circumstances while maintaining essential account functions.

Data Portability

Receive your data in a structured format for transfer to another service provider where technically feasible.

Withdraw Consent

Revoke permission for specific data processing activities that require your consent.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected] with your request. We'll respond within 30 days and may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests. Some rights may be limited by legal requirements or legitimate business interests.

If you're not satisfied with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

Data Security & Protection

Protecting your financial information requires multiple layers of security, and we've invested heavily in comprehensive protection measures:

Technical Safeguards

We use industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage, multi-factor authentication for account access, and regular security monitoring to detect potential threats. Our infrastructure is hosted on enterprise-grade cloud platforms with 99.9% uptime guarantees.

Access Controls

Employee access to personal data is strictly limited based on job requirements and subject to regular review. All access is logged and monitored, with additional approvals required for sensitive financial information.

Regular Testing

We conduct regular penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and security audits to identify and address potential weaknesses before they can be exploited.

  • 256-bit SSL encryption for all data transmission
  • AES-256 encryption for stored sensitive data
  • Regular automated backups with geographic redundancy
  • 24/7 security monitoring and incident response
  • Annual third-party security assessments
  • Compliance with ISO 27001 security standards

While we implement robust security measures, remember that no system is completely immune to threats. We recommend using strong, unique passwords and enabling two-factor authentication on your account.

Data Retention & Deletion

We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, and protect our legitimate business interests:

Active Account Data

While your account remains active, we maintain your profile information, financial data, and usage history to ensure continuous service delivery and personalized experiences.

Closed Account Data

After account closure, we retain certain information for up to 7 years to comply with Australian financial regulations, tax requirements, and potential legal claims. This includes transaction records and identity verification data.

Marketing & Communication Data

If you unsubscribe from marketing communications, we retain your email address solely to honor your unsubscribe request and prevent future marketing contacts.

Automatic Deletion

We've implemented automated systems to delete data when retention periods expire, unless legal holds or ongoing investigations require extended retention.

  • Financial transaction data: 7 years (regulatory requirement)
  • Identity verification records: 7 years (AML/CTF compliance)
  • Support communications: 3 years (service improvement)
  • Usage analytics: 2 years (aggregated and anonymized)
  • Marketing preferences: Indefinitely (to honor opt-out requests)

International Data Transfers

While Studyxoventis is based in Australia, some of our service providers and cloud infrastructure may be located overseas. We ensure appropriate protections for international data transfers:

Transfer Safeguards

All international transfers are subject to contractual protections equivalent to Australian privacy standards. We work only with providers in countries with adequate privacy protections or under specific transfer mechanisms approved by Australian privacy authorities.

Data Localization

Where possible, we prioritize Australian data centers and service providers to minimize international transfers while maintaining service quality and reliability.

Countries where your data may be processed include the United States (cloud hosting), Singapore (data processing), and the European Union (support services). All transfers comply with Australian Privacy Principles and applicable international agreements.
