Information Sharing and Disclosure

We maintain strict controls over how your personal information is shared. Calitheraventures does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We only share your information in specific circumstances that directly support your service experience or fulfill legal obligations.

Authorized Third-Party Partners

We work with carefully selected service providers who help us deliver our platform functionality. These partners include cloud hosting providers, payment processors, data analytics services, and cybersecurity firms. All third-party partners are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are permitted to use your information only for the specific services they provide to us.

Legal and Regulatory Requirements

We may disclose your information when required by Australian law, court orders, or regulatory authorities. This includes compliance with financial services regulations, anti-money laundering requirements, and cooperation with law enforcement investigations. We will notify you of such disclosures when legally permitted to do so.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring organization. We will provide notice of such changes and ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected under the same standards outlined in this policy.

Your Privacy Rights

You have significant control over your personal information and how we use it. These rights are designed to give you transparency and control over your data while ensuring we can continue to provide quality financial services.

Access Your Data

Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you, including how it's being used and who it's been shared with. We'll provide this information within 30 days of your request.

Correct Inaccuracies

Update or correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information in your account. You can make many changes directly through your account dashboard or contact our support team.

Delete Your Information

Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal and regulatory retention requirements. Some financial records must be retained for compliance purposes even after account closure.

Restrict Processing

Limit how we use your information in certain circumstances, such as when you're disputing the accuracy of data or have objected to our processing activities.

Data Portability

Receive your personal information in a structured format that can be transferred to another service provider, where technically feasible and legally applicable.

Opt Out of Communications

Choose which types of communications you receive from us, including marketing emails, educational content, and promotional materials, while still receiving essential account notifications.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our privacy team using the information provided below. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request to ensure the security of your personal information.

Data Security Measures

Protecting your financial information is our top priority. We employ multiple layers of security controls and follow industry best practices to safeguard your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Encryption

All data transmission uses TLS 1.3 encryption, and sensitive information is encrypted at rest using AES-256 standards.

Access Controls

Strict role-based access controls ensure only authorized personnel can access your information on a need-to-know basis.

Monitoring

Continuous security monitoring and intrusion detection systems protect against unauthorized access attempts.

Regular Audits

Independent security audits and penetration testing ensure our systems meet the highest security standards.

Secure Infrastructure

Our systems are hosted in certified data centers with physical security controls and redundant backup systems.

Staff Training

All employees receive regular privacy and security training to ensure proper handling of personal information.

While we implement comprehensive security measures, no system is completely immune to security threats. We continuously monitor for vulnerabilities and update our security practices to address evolving risks. In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities within the timeframes required by Australian privacy laws.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary based on the type of information and applicable regulatory requirements.

Account Information
Retained for the duration of your active account plus 7 years after account closure to comply with financial services regulations and tax obligations.
Financial Transaction Records
Maintained for 7 years after the transaction date as required by Australian financial regulations and anti-money laundering laws.
Communication Records
Support inquiries and correspondence are kept for 3 years to maintain service quality and resolve any ongoing issues.
Usage and Analytics Data
Aggregated and anonymized usage data may be retained indefinitely for platform improvement, while identifiable usage data is deleted after 2 years.
Marketing Communications
Contact information for marketing purposes is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, with inactive contacts removed after 3 years.

When information reaches the end of its retention period, we securely delete or anonymize it using certified data destruction methods. Some information may be retained in anonymized form for statistical analysis and platform improvement purposes, but cannot be linked back to individual users.

International Data Transfers

Your personal information is primarily stored and processed within Australia. However, some of our service providers and technology partners may process your information in other countries to provide cloud hosting, technical support, and platform functionality.

When we transfer your information internationally, we ensure adequate protection through approved transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or certification schemes. All international transfers comply with Australian Privacy Principles and provide equivalent protection to what you would receive in Australia.

We maintain detailed records of all international data transfers and can provide information about specific countries and safeguards upon request. Our international partners are contractually obligated to protect your information according to Australian privacy standards.
