Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains how sciorenex collects, uses, and protects your personal information in accordance with Australian privacy laws.

  • Communication Records: Records of phone calls, emails, and chat conversations for quality assurance and training purposes

We only collect information that's necessary for providing our services or that you've specifically agreed to share with us. You can always update your preferences through your account settings.

We use your personal information for specific business purposes that align with providing quality financial services. Here's exactly how we use different types of information:

We don't use your information for automated decision-making that significantly affects you without human oversight. Our financial advisors review all recommendations and advice before it reaches you.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

sciorenex takes a careful approach to sharing your information. We only share data when it's necessary for our services or required by law.

  • Service Providers: Trusted third parties who help us deliver services, including payment processors, technology providers, and compliance specialists
  • Financial Partners: Banks, insurance companies, and investment platforms when you specifically request products or services from them
  • Regulatory Bodies: ASIC, ATO, and other regulatory authorities when required by Australian financial services laws
  • Legal Requirements: Courts, law enforcement, or other authorities when we receive valid legal demands

We never sell your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. When we share information with service providers, we require them to protect your data with the same standards we maintain.

All our service providers are carefully vetted and must sign agreements that protect your privacy. We regularly audit these relationships to make sure your data stays secure.

Your Rights and Choices

Under Australian privacy laws, you have several important rights regarding your personal information. We make it easy to exercise these rights.

Access Your Information

You can request a copy of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this within 30 days of your request.

Correct Information

If any information we hold is incorrect or outdated, you can ask us to update it. Most information can be updated through your online account.

Withdraw Consent

You can withdraw consent for marketing communications or optional data collection at any time through your account settings.

Data Portability

Where technically feasible, we can provide your data in a format that allows you to transfer it to another service provider.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our privacy team using the details below. We'll verify your identity and respond promptly to all requests.

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your information is fundamental to our business. We use multiple layers of security to keep your data safe.

  • Encryption: All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption
  • Access Controls: Staff can only access information necessary for their role, with all access logged and monitored
  • Regular Audits: We conduct quarterly security assessments and annual penetration testing
  • Secure Facilities: Physical servers are housed in certified data centers with 24/7 monitoring and access controls
  • Staff Training: All team members complete regular privacy and security training

While we implement strong security measures, no system is completely immune to risks. We monitor for potential threats continuously and will notify you promptly if any security incident affects your personal information.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your information only as long as necessary for business purposes or as required by Australian law.

Data Type Retention Period Reason
Account Information 7 years after account closure Financial services compliance
Transaction Records 7 years from transaction date Tax and regulatory requirements
Marketing Preferences Until you withdraw consent Ongoing marketing compliance
Website Analytics 26 months Service improvement analysis

When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your information. You can request earlier deletion of some information types, though we may need to retain certain records for legal compliance.

International Data Transfers

sciorenex primarily stores and processes your data within Australia. However, some of our trusted service providers operate internationally.

When we transfer data overseas, we ensure appropriate protections are in place:

  • Adequacy Decisions: Transfers to countries with adequate privacy protections as recognized by Australian authorities
  • Standard Contractual Clauses: Legal agreements that require overseas processors to maintain Australian privacy standards
  • Regular Monitoring: We audit international service providers to ensure ongoing compliance with privacy requirements

Countries where your data might be processed include New Zealand, United Kingdom, and United States (with appropriate safeguards). You can contact us for specific details about any international transfers.
