Regulatory Disclosures: We may disclose information to ASIC, AUSTRAC, or other regulatory bodies when required by law. Court orders and legally binding government requests also compel disclosure under specific circumstances.
No Marketing Sales: We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to marketing companies, data brokers, or unrelated third parties. Your financial privacy remains strictly protected.

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your financial information requires multiple layers of security. We've implemented comprehensive safeguards that exceed industry standards for Australian financial services.

  • Automated backup systems with geographically separated storage locations
Our security protocols receive annual review and updates to address emerging threats. We maintain professional indemnity insurance covering data breach scenarios and work with certified security partners for ongoing monitoring.

Your Privacy Rights Under Australian Law

The Australian Privacy Act 1988 grants you specific rights regarding your personal information. We've designed straightforward procedures to help you exercise these rights effectively.
Access Rights: Request copies of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide comprehensive records within 30 days, including data sources and sharing history.
Correction Rights: Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete information. We'll update records promptly and notify any third parties who received the incorrect information.
Deletion Rights: Request deletion of personal information where legally permissible. Note that some financial records must be retained for seven years under Australian regulations.
Complaint Process: If you believe we've mishandled your personal information, contact our Privacy Officer directly. Unresolved complaints can be escalated to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

Data Retention and Disposal

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for service delivery and regulatory compliance. Different types of information have specific retention periods based on Australian financial services laws.
Active Client Records: Maintained throughout our professional relationship plus seven years as required by ASIC regulations. This includes all advice documents, correspondence, and supporting financial data.
Marketing Information: Deleted within two years of your last engagement with our services, unless you've specifically requested ongoing communications about financial planning topics.
Secure Disposal: All personal information undergoes secure destruction using certified data destruction services. Digital records receive cryptographic wiping, while physical documents are professionally shredded with certificates of destruction.

International Data Transfers

vixalorent primarily processes and stores your information within Australia. However, some technology providers we use may process data internationally under strict privacy protections.
Cloud Storage: Our document management system uses Australian-based AWS servers with data residency guarantees. Backup systems remain within Australian borders to comply with privacy regulations.
Software Providers: Financial planning software and communication tools may involve international processing. All providers must demonstrate equivalent privacy protections and sign comprehensive data processing agreements.
We never transfer personal information to countries with inadequate privacy protections and maintain detailed records of any international processing arrangements for transparency.
