Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 15 January 2025
myralenthis operates in accordance with Australian privacy legislation, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). We understand that corporate finance analysts and professionals trust us with their information when accessing our educational programs and resources. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.
1. Information We Collect
Personal Information
When you interact with myralenthis, we collect information that you provide directly. This includes details you share when registering for programs, requesting information, or communicating with our team.
- Full name and professional title
- Email address and phone number
- Postal address for program materials
- Educational background and professional experience
- Payment information for course enrollment
- Employer information where relevant to corporate programs
Technical Information
Our website automatically collects certain technical data to improve your experience and maintain security. This happens through standard internet protocols and doesn't identify you personally unless combined with other information.
- IP address and device identifiers
- Browser type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Referral sources and clickstream data
- Location data (city and state level only)
Professional Information
For tailored program recommendations and career support, we may collect information about your professional goals and current skill level. You control how much detail you share — basic information is sufficient for most programs.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information to deliver educational services and support your professional development. Every use of your data serves a specific purpose tied to the programs and resources you access.
| Purpose | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Program enrollment and access management | Contract performance |
| Communication about programs and updates | Legitimate interest |
| Payment processing and financial records | Legal obligation |
| Website improvement and user experience | Legitimate interest |
| Security and fraud prevention | Legal obligation |
We don't sell your personal information to third parties. When we share data with service providers — like payment processors or email platforms — they're contractually bound to protect your information and use it only for specified purposes.
3. Data Sharing and Third Parties
Some aspects of our service require working with trusted partners. We're selective about who processes your information and ensure they maintain appropriate security standards.
Service Providers: Payment processors handle financial transactions. Email service providers manage program communications. Learning platforms host course materials. Each has access only to information necessary for their specific function.
Professional Networks: With your explicit consent, we may share program completion information with professional bodies or employers for certification purposes.
Legal Requirements: We disclose information when required by Australian law, court order, or to protect rights and safety. This happens rarely and only when legally necessary.
Before enrolling in any program that involves data sharing beyond these standard categories, we'll inform you clearly and obtain separate consent.
4. Your Rights Under Australian Privacy Law
The Australian Privacy Principles give you control over your personal information. Here's what you can request and how we handle each type of inquiry.
Access Your Information
You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this within 30 days unless the request is complex or we receive multiple requests from you. There's no charge for your first request in a 12-month period.
Correct Inaccurate Data
If information we hold about you is wrong or outdated, let us know. We'll update it promptly. You can also update many details directly through your account dashboard.
Request Deletion
You can ask us to delete your personal information. We'll comply unless we have a legal reason to retain it — such as financial records we're required to keep for seven years under Australian tax law.
Withdraw Consent
When we process your information based on consent rather than legal obligation, you can withdraw that consent anytime. This won't affect the lawfulness of processing before you withdrew consent.
Object to Processing
You can object to certain uses of your information, particularly for marketing purposes. We'll stop unless we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details at the end of this policy. We'll verify your identity before processing requests to protect your information from unauthorized access.
5. Data Security and Protection
We implement multiple layers of security to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. Our approach combines technical measures with organizational policies.
- All data transmission uses TLS encryption
- Databases are encrypted at rest with regular security audits
- Access controls limit who can view personal information
- Staff receive privacy training and sign confidentiality agreements
- We maintain incident response procedures for potential breaches
- Regular backups protect against data loss
While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no internet transmission is completely secure. We recommend you use strong passwords and keep your login credentials confidential.
Data Breach Notification: If a breach is likely to result in serious harm, we'll notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
6. Data Retention Periods
We keep your information only as long as necessary for the purposes we collected it. Specific retention periods depend on the type of information and legal requirements.
| Information Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Program enrollment records | 7 years after completion |
| Financial and tax records | 7 years (Australian tax law requirement) |
| Marketing communications preferences | Until you unsubscribe |
| Website analytics data | 26 months |
| Support correspondence | 3 years after resolution |
When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your information. Anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for statistical analysis and program improvement.
7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to function properly and improve your experience. Some are essential for the site to work; others help us understand how people use our resources.
Essential Cookies
These enable core functionality like secure login and session management. The website won't work properly without them. They don't track you across other sites.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics to understand which program information is most helpful and where people encounter difficulties. This data is aggregated and doesn't identify individuals.
Preference Cookies
These remember your settings and preferences so you don't have to reconfigure them each visit.
You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. Most browsers let you block third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies we need for the site to work.
8. International Data Transfers
Your information is primarily stored on servers located in Australia. Some service providers we use may store data overseas, particularly in the United States or Europe.
When we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place. This typically involves contractual clauses that require the recipient to protect your information to Australian standards.
Cloud services we use maintain data centers globally for performance and redundancy. Your information may be processed in multiple locations but remains subject to Australian privacy law and our contractual protections.
9. Children's Privacy
Our programs are designed for professionals and require participants to be at least 18 years old. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
If we discover we've inadvertently collected information from someone under 18, we'll delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe we may have information about someone under 18 should contact us immediately.
10. Marketing Communications
We send information about new programs, resources, and updates to people who've expressed interest in corporate finance education. You control what communications you receive.
Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. Clicking it removes you from that type of communication immediately. You can also manage preferences through your account or by contacting us.
Even if you unsubscribe from marketing emails, we'll still send essential communications about programs you're enrolled in or services you've requested.
11. Changes to This Policy
We review and update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you by email or through a prominent notice on our website.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy shows when we last made changes. Continuing to use our services after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
Previous versions of this policy are available on request if you need to review what was in effect at a particular time.
12. Complaints and Disputes
If you're concerned about how we've handled your personal information, please contact us first. We take complaints seriously and investigate them promptly.
We'll acknowledge your complaint within 7 days and provide a full response within 30 days. If the matter is complex, we'll let you know why we need more time.
If you're not satisfied with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). They're the independent authority that oversees privacy compliance in Australia.
