Data Sharing and Disclosure

We keep your information within our organization as much as possible. However, there are some situations where we need to share data with trusted partners who help us run our platform.

Service Providers

We work with carefully selected third-party providers who assist with:

  • Hosting our website and storing data securely
  • Processing payments through encrypted payment gateways
  • Sending emails and managing communication tools
  • Analyzing website performance and user behavior
  • Providing customer support infrastructure

These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and can only use it for the specific services they provide to us.

Legal Requirements

We might disclose your information if required by Australian law, court order, or government request. We'll also share information when necessary to protect our legal rights, prevent fraud, or ensure the safety of our users and staff.

Business Transfers

If quanterivo merges with another organization or transfers ownership, your information would be part of that transaction. We'd notify you beforehand and ensure the new entity follows this privacy policy.

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your information is something we take seriously. We've implemented multiple security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss of your personal data.

Our security practices include:

Encrypted data transmission using SSL/TLS protocols. Secure servers with restricted access and regular security audits. Strong password requirements and multi-factor authentication for staff accounts. Regular backups stored in secure, geographically separated locations. Employee training on data protection and privacy obligations.

That said, no system is completely foolproof. While we do everything reasonable to protect your data, we can't guarantee absolute security. If you notice any suspicious activity or potential security breach, contact us immediately at info@quanterivo.org.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Australian privacy law, you have several rights regarding your personal information. We're here to help you exercise these rights whenever you need to.

Access and Correction

You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you at any time. If you notice something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll update it promptly. We'll respond to access requests within 30 days.

Data Portability

Want to take your data elsewhere? We'll provide your information in a commonly used, machine-readable format when you request it. This includes your profile data, learning progress, and communication history.

Deletion Requests

You can ask us to delete your personal information. We'll honor this request unless we're legally required to keep certain records for tax, legal, or regulatory purposes. Even after deletion, some anonymized data might remain in our analytics systems.

Marketing Preferences

Any international transfers comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act 1988, meaning overseas recipients are bound by similar privacy obligations or we've taken reasonable steps to ensure your information receives comparable protection.
