We also gather information about your educational interests and career goals to tailor our program recommendations.

Our website automatically collects technical data about your visit, including your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you navigate through our educational content. This helps us understand which resources are most valuable to our students and improve our platform accordingly.

• Browser and device specifications
• Pages visited and time spent on each section
• Referring websites and search terms used
• Geographic location data (country and city level)
• Course completion rates and assessment scores

How We Use Your Information

Your information serves several important purposes in helping us deliver exceptional financial education experiences. We're committed to using your data responsibly and only for legitimate educational and business purposes.

We use your personal details to communicate about course schedules, send educational resources, and provide customer support. Your learning progress data helps us identify areas where students might need additional assistance and allows our instructors to provide personalized feedback.

Your information helps us match you with appropriate course levels, recommend relevant learning materials, and track your progress through our financial modeling curriculum. We also use aggregated data to improve our teaching methods and develop new course content that addresses common learning challenges.

• Course enrollment and scheduling coordination
• Progress tracking and performance assessment
• Personalized learning recommendations
• Career guidance and industry insights
• Alumni networking opportunities

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We believe in transparency about when and why we might share your information. borealyntex takes a conservative approach to data sharing and only works with trusted partners who meet our strict privacy standards.

We may share aggregated, non-personal information with industry partners to help improve financial education standards across Australia. For example, we might share general statistics about course completion rates or employment outcomes without revealing individual student identities.

We work with carefully selected service providers who help us deliver our educational programs. These include email service providers, payment processors, and cloud storage services. All third parties are contractually required to protect your information and can only use it for the specific services they provide to us.

In rare circumstances, we may be required to disclose your information to comply with Australian law, respond to legal proceedings, or protect the rights and safety of our students and staff. We will always notify you of such disclosures unless legally prohibited from doing so.

Your Privacy Rights Under Australian Law

As an Australian-based organization, borealyntex complies with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). You have significant rights regarding your personal information, and we're committed to helping you exercise these rights easily and effectively.

You can request access to the personal information we hold about you, including details about how we've collected and used this information. If you find any inaccuracies, you can ask us to correct them. We'll respond to access requests within 30 days and make corrections promptly when warranted.

• Request a copy of all personal information we hold
• Correct inaccurate or outdated information
• Update your communication preferences
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Withdraw consent for specific uses of your information

To exercise these rights, contact our Privacy Officer using the details provided below. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request, and we'll explain any limitations that might apply under Australian privacy law.

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your information is one of our highest priorities. We've implemented comprehensive security measures that protect your data both in transit and at rest, using industry-standard encryption and access controls.

Our security infrastructure includes encrypted data transmission, secure server environments, and regular security audits. We limit access to your personal information to authorized personnel who need it to perform their job functions, and all staff receive regular training on privacy and security best practices.

• SSL encryption for all website communications
• Secure cloud storage with Australian data residency
• Regular security updates and vulnerability assessments
• Multi-factor authentication for staff access
• Automated backup systems and disaster recovery plans

While we take extensive precautions to protect your information, no system is completely secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your login credentials confidential.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by Australian law. Different types of information have different retention periods based on their purpose and legal requirements.

Student records, including course completion certificates and transcripts, are typically retained for seven years after course completion to support your ongoing professional development and career advancement. Marketing communications data is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

When retention periods expire or when you request deletion of your information, we use secure deletion procedures to ensure your data cannot be recovered. This includes removing data from backup systems and ensuring any physical media containing your information is properly destroyed.

You can request immediate deletion of your account and associated personal information at any time. We'll process deletion requests within 30 days, though we may retain certain information if required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention.

International Data Transfers

While we primarily store and process your information within Australia, some of our trusted service providers may be located overseas. When we do transfer information internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your privacy rights.

Any international transfers comply with Australian privacy law requirements, including ensuring destination countries have adequate privacy protections or implementing additional contractual safeguards. We currently work with service providers in countries that the Australian Government has determined provide adequate privacy protections.

We review and update this privacy policy regularly to ensure it accurately reflects our practices and complies with applicable laws. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through email and provide prominent notice on our website.

Minor updates, such as clarifications or contact information changes, may be made without individual notification. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
