Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when required by Australian law, court orders, or to protect the rights and safety of our students and staff. These situations are rare and handled with careful consideration of privacy implications.

Business Changes

If delvarioque undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale, your information may transfer to the new entity. We'll notify you of such changes and any new privacy practices that might affect your data.

Protecting your information is fundamental to our operations. We implement multiple layers of security appropriate for an educational organization handling sensitive data.

Technical Safeguards

• Encryption of data both in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Access controls limiting staff access to necessary information only
• Secure backup systems with geographic redundancy
• Network monitoring and intrusion detection systems

Administrative Protections

Our team receives regular privacy and security training. We maintain detailed policies governing data access, storage, and handling procedures. Staff access to student information is logged and reviewed regularly.

Physical Security

Our North Hobart office implements appropriate physical security measures. Digital systems are protected through secure hosting environments with controlled access and environmental protections.

We keep your information only as long as needed for educational, legal, or legitimate business purposes. Different types of information have different retention periods.

Retention Periods

• Active Student Records: Maintained while you're enrolled plus seven years for certification verification
• Financial Records: Seven years as required by Australian taxation laws
• Communication Logs: Three years for service quality and dispute resolution
• Marketing Preferences: Until you withdraw consent or request deletion
• Website Analytics: Aggregated data retained indefinitely, individual data deleted after 26 months

Deletion Process

When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your information. You can request earlier deletion of certain data types, subject to legal and operational requirements.

Under Australian privacy law, you have specific rights regarding your personal information. We're committed to honoring these rights promptly and completely.

Access and Correction

You can request access to personal information we hold about you. If that information is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it. Most account information can be updated directly through your student portal.

Data Portability

You can request a copy of your personal information in a structured, commonly used format. This includes learning records, progress data, and account information you've provided.

Deletion Requests

You can request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements and legitimate business needs. We'll explain any limitations and work with you to delete what's legally permissible.

Complaints Process

If you're concerned about our privacy practices, please contact us directly first. We're committed to resolving issues quickly. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner if you're unsatisfied with our response.
