Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 2025

orqavianel ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our budget software tools and related services. We operate in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and applicable Australian privacy laws.

Please read this policy carefully. If you don't agree with the terms outlined here, please discontinue use of our services immediately.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for several legitimate business purposes. Your financial data stays yours — we don't sell it or use it for anything beyond making our software work for you.

Service Delivery: To provide, maintain, and improve our budget software tools and customer support
Account Management: To create and manage your account, process payments, and communicate about your subscription
Personalization: To customize your experience and provide features relevant to your financial management needs

Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes
Security: To protect against fraud, unauthorized access, and other security threats

We will never use your personal financial data for marketing purposes or share it with third parties for their marketing use.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We don't sell your personal information. However, we may share your information in specific circumstances:

Service Providers

We work with third-party service providers who help us operate our business. These include payment processors, cloud hosting providers, analytics services, and customer support platforms. These providers only access information necessary to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to protect your data.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government request. We'll also share information when necessary to protect our rights, prevent fraud, or ensure the safety of our users.

Business Transfers

If orqavianel is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred. We'll notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

With Your Consent

We may share your information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Australian privacy law, you have several rights regarding your personal information. We take these rights seriously and have established clear procedures for you to exercise them.

Access: You can request access to the personal information we hold about you
Correction: You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
Deletion: You can request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain legal exceptions
Export: You can request a copy of your data in a portable format
Opt-Out: You can opt out of marketing communications at any time
Complaint: You can lodge a complaint about how we handle your information

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy. We'll respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 30 days. Some requests may require identity verification to protect your information.

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

Data Security

We take protecting your information seriously. Our security measures include:

Industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage
Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing
Restricted access to personal information on a need-to-know basis
Secure authentication protocols and password requirements
Regular staff training on data protection and privacy practices
Incident response procedures for potential data breaches

While we implement reasonable security measures, no system is completely secure. We can't guarantee absolute security of your information. You're responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for any activities that occur under your account.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. When determining retention periods, we consider:

The length of time you maintain an active account
Legal and regulatory requirements for record-keeping
Potential legal disputes or investigations
Legitimate business needs and operational purposes

After your account is closed, we'll delete or anonymize your personal information within 90 days, unless we're required to retain it longer for legal or regulatory reasons. Some information may be retained in backup systems for a limited additional period.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience with our budget software. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us recognize you and remember your preferences.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies: Required for basic functionality and security
Performance Cookies: Help us understand how you use our software
Functionality Cookies: Remember your preferences and settings

You can control cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect your ability to use some features of our services.

International Data Transfers

While we primarily store data within Australia, some of our service providers may process data outside Australia. When we transfer your information internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

Using service providers in countries with adequate privacy protections
Implementing contractual protections through standard clauses
Ensuring compliance with Australian privacy law requirements

Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover that we've collected information from someone under 18, we'll delete it promptly. If you believe we've collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you through email or a prominent notice in our software before the changes take effect.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
