Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
At veradioxel, we understand that your personal information matters. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you interact with our financial education services. We're committed to transparency and compliance with Australian privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Who We Are
veradioxel operates as an educational platform focused on helping Australians develop better financial habits. Our business is located at Level 1 Shop 18 1, 5 Harrow Rd, Auburn NSW 2144, Australia. When we refer to "we," "us," or "our" in this policy, we mean veradioxel and our educational services.
We're not a financial institution or credit provider. We provide educational content and resources about personal finance management. That distinction matters because it shapes what information we collect and why we need it.
Information We Collect
The data we gather falls into several categories. Some you provide directly when signing up for our programs. Other information comes from how you interact with our platform.
Personal Information You Provide
- Your name, email address, and phone number when you register
- Payment details processed through our secure payment partners
- Educational background and financial goals you share in program applications
- Questions or feedback submitted through contact forms
- Communication preferences for course updates and newsletters
Automatically Collected Data
When you visit our website or use our platform, we automatically collect certain technical information. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you navigate through our content. We use this to improve the user experience and understand which educational resources are most helpful.
| Data Type | Purpose | Retention Period |
|---|---|---|
| Account Information | Program enrollment and access management | Duration of enrollment plus 7 years |
| Payment Records | Transaction processing and tax compliance | 7 years as required by Australian tax law |
| Learning Progress | Track course completion and provide personalized support | Duration of enrollment plus 2 years |
| Communication History | Support inquiries and service improvement | 3 years from last contact |
| Website Analytics | Platform optimization and content improvement | 26 months in anonymized form |
How We Use Your Information
We use your data for specific purposes related to delivering educational services. Nothing more, nothing less.
- Providing access to learning programs and course materials you've enrolled in
- Sending program updates, educational content, and administrative notices
- Processing payments and maintaining financial records for tax purposes
- Responding to your questions and providing customer support
- Improving our educational content based on how students engage with materials
- Complying with Australian legal and regulatory requirements
- Preventing fraud and maintaining platform security
Marketing Communications: We'll only send promotional emails if you've opted in. You can unsubscribe anytime using the link in every email. Educational announcements about programs you're enrolled in are separate and considered essential communications.
Who We Share Data With
We don't sell your personal information. Period. But we do work with certain service providers who help us run our educational platform.
Service Providers
These companies help us deliver our services. They're contractually required to protect your data and can only use it for the specific purposes we've authorized:
- Payment processors who handle transactions securely
- Cloud hosting providers that store course materials and platform data
- Email service providers for program communications
- Analytics tools that help us understand how students use our platform
- Customer support software to manage and respond to inquiries
Legal Requirements
Sometimes we're legally obligated to share information. This includes responding to valid legal processes, court orders, or government requests. We may also disclose data if necessary to protect our legal rights or prevent fraud.
Australian Data: Your information is primarily stored on servers located in Australia. Some service providers may process data overseas, but we ensure they meet Australian privacy standards through contractual agreements.
Your Privacy Rights
Under Australian privacy law, you have several rights regarding your personal information. Here's what you can do and how to exercise these rights.
Access Your Data
Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this within 30 days, free of charge for the first request each year.
Correct Information
Ask us to update or correct inaccurate data. You can update most account details yourself through your profile settings.
Delete Your Account
Request deletion of your account and associated data. Note that we must retain some records for legal compliance purposes.
Restrict Processing
Object to certain uses of your information or ask us to limit how we process your data in specific situations.
Data Portability
Receive your data in a structured, commonly used format that you can transfer to another service provider.
Withdraw Consent
Opt out of marketing communications or withdraw consent for data processing where consent was the legal basis.
How to Exercise Your Rights
To make a privacy request, email us at info@veradioxel.com with "Privacy Request" in the subject line. Include your full name and the email address associated with your account. We'll verify your identity before processing any requests that involve accessing or changing personal data.
Most requests are handled within 30 days. If we need more time due to the complexity of your request, we'll let you know and explain why.
How We Protect Your Data
Security isn't just a checkbox for us. We implement multiple layers of protection to keep your information safe from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss.
- SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers
- Encrypted storage for sensitive personal and payment information
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
- Restricted access controls limiting who can view personal data internally
- Staff training on privacy obligations and data handling procedures
- Secure backup systems to prevent data loss
- Monitoring systems to detect and respond to potential security incidents
While we take security seriously and implement industry-standard protections, no online system is completely immune to threats. We can't guarantee absolute security, but we're committed to maintaining robust safeguards and responding quickly if any issues arise.
Data Retention
We don't keep your information longer than necessary. Retention periods vary based on the type of data and legal requirements.
Account information remains active while you're enrolled in our programs. After you complete a program or close your account, we retain certain records for seven years to comply with Australian tax and business record-keeping requirements.
Learning progress and course completion records are kept for two years after program completion. This allows us to provide certificates or transcripts if you need them later.
Marketing data is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Website analytics are anonymized after 26 months, removing any connection to individual users while preserving aggregate insights.
If you close your account, we'll delete non-essential personal information within 90 days. Records we're legally required to maintain will be securely archived with restricted access until the retention period expires.
International Data Transfers
Your data is primarily stored within Australia. However, some of our service providers operate internationally, which means your information might be processed or stored overseas.
When we transfer data internationally, we ensure the recipient country has privacy protections comparable to Australia's standards. We use contractual clauses that require overseas providers to handle your data in accordance with Australian Privacy Principles.
You have the right to ask about specific countries where your data might be processed. Contact us if you'd like details about international transfers relevant to your account.
Children's Privacy
Our educational programs are designed for adults. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 years of age without parental consent.
If you're under 18 and interested in our programs, a parent or guardian must create the account and provide consent. If we discover we've inadvertently collected data from a minor without proper consent, we'll delete that information promptly.
Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to make our platform work properly and improve your experience. Some are essential for basic functionality. Others help us understand how people use our site so we can make it better.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential cookies: Required for login, security, and basic platform features. These can't be disabled.
- Performance cookies: Help us understand which content is most useful and how students navigate courses.
- Functional cookies: Remember your preferences and settings to personalize your experience.
You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies might affect how our platform functions. Most browsers allow you to view and delete cookies, and some offer private browsing modes that don't store cookies after you close the session.
Changes to This Policy
We review and update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you by email or through a notice on our platform.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy shows when it was most recently revised. We encourage you to check this page occasionally to stay informed about how we protect your information.
Continued use of our services after policy changes indicates your acceptance of the updated terms. If you disagree with changes, you can close your account before they take effect.
