Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 15 January 2025
At renquasylor, we take your privacy seriously. We're committed to handling your personal information with care and respect – because that's what actual people deserve, not just data points in a system.
This policy explains what information we collect, why we need it, and how we protect it. We've written it in plain language because privacy policies shouldn't require a law degree to understand.
1. Information We Collect
When you use our financial forecasting and budgeting services, we collect certain information to provide you with the tools you need. Here's what we gather and why:
Personal Identification Information
- Name, email address, and phone number when you create an account
- Physical address for billing purposes and to comply with Australian financial regulations
- Business details if you're using renquasylor for commercial purposes
- Date of birth to verify you meet age requirements for financial services
Financial Information
- Transaction data you input into our budgeting tools
- Income and expense categories you create and track
- Financial goals and forecasting parameters you set
- Payment information for subscription billing (processed through secure third-party payment processors)
Technical Information
- IP address and browser type for security monitoring
- Device information to ensure platform compatibility
- Usage patterns to improve our service functionality
- Cookie data for session management and preferences (more on this below)
Important: We never access your actual bank accounts or financial institution data unless you explicitly connect them through our secure integration partners. Even then, we only receive read-only access to transaction information you choose to sync.
2. How We Use Your Information
We're not in the business of selling your data or using it for purposes you didn't sign up for. Here's exactly what we do with your information:
- Provide Our Services: Process your financial data to generate forecasts, track budgets, and deliver the functionality you expect from renquasylor
- Account Management: Maintain your account, process payments, and communicate about service updates or changes
- Customer Support: Respond to your inquiries, troubleshoot issues, and provide assistance when you need it
- Service Improvement: Analyze usage patterns (in aggregate, anonymized form) to identify bugs, improve features, and develop new functionality
- Security: Monitor for fraudulent activity, prevent unauthorized access, and protect both you and our platform
- Legal Compliance: Meet our obligations under Australian privacy law, financial regulations, and other applicable legislation
- Marketing Communications: Send you updates about new features or service improvements (you can opt out anytime)
We don't use your financial data for advertising purposes. We don't sell your information to data brokers. And we don't share your details with third parties for their marketing purposes.
3. Legal Basis for Processing (Australian Privacy Principles)
Under the Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles, we process your personal information based on:
- Consent: You've given us clear permission to collect and use your information when you signed up
- Contract Performance: Processing is necessary to provide the services you've requested
- Legal Obligations: We're required to retain certain information under Australian financial services regulations
- Legitimate Interests: Processing that's reasonably expected and necessary for service improvement, fraud prevention, and security
You have the right to withdraw consent at any time, though this may affect our ability to provide certain services.
4. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We share your information only when necessary and always with your interests in mind. Here's who might receive your data:
| Third Party Type | Purpose | Data Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Payment Processors | Process subscription payments securely | Billing information, transaction amounts |
| Cloud Infrastructure | Host and store your data securely | All account and usage data (encrypted) |
| Analytics Services | Understand usage patterns and improve service | Anonymized usage statistics only |
| Email Services | Send transactional emails and updates | Email address, name, communication preferences |
| Customer Support Tools | Provide assistance when you contact us | Contact details, support inquiry content |
All third-party service providers are carefully vetted and contractually required to protect your data with the same standards we maintain. They're prohibited from using your information for their own purposes.
When We Might Disclose Information
- If legally required by court order, subpoena, or Australian law enforcement
- To protect against fraud, security threats, or illegal activity
- In connection with a business transfer, merger, or acquisition (with notification to you)
- With your explicit consent for specific purposes
5. Data Storage and Security
Your financial information deserves top-tier protection. Here's how we keep it safe:
Security Measures
- Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256 encryption)
- Access Controls: Strict authentication requirements and role-based access for our team
- Regular Audits: Quarterly security assessments and penetration testing
- Monitoring: 24/7 system monitoring for suspicious activity
- Backups: Regular encrypted backups stored in geographically separate locations
- Staff Training: Ongoing security awareness training for all team members
Data Location
Your data is primarily stored on secure servers located in Australia. Some backup data may be stored in Singapore as part of our disaster recovery procedures. We ensure all offshore storage locations maintain equivalent privacy protections to Australian standards.
Your Responsibility: Please use a strong, unique password for your renquasylor account. Enable two-factor authentication if available. Don't share your login credentials with anyone. We'll never ask for your password via email or phone.
6. Data Retention
We keep your information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy:
- Active Accounts: Information retained for the duration of your account plus 7 years to meet Australian financial record-keeping requirements
- Closed Accounts: Most data deleted within 90 days of account closure, except information we're legally required to retain
- Financial Records: Transaction history and billing records retained for 7 years as required by Australian tax law
- Support Communications: Customer service records retained for 3 years for quality assurance and legal purposes
- Marketing Data: Email preferences and communication history retained until you request deletion or 2 years after last interaction
After retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your information so it can no longer identify you.
