Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 15 January 2025
olivarexon operates with transparency and respect for your personal information. This policy explains what we collect, why we need it, and how we protect it. We're based in Australia and comply with the Privacy Act 1988, including the Australian Privacy Principles.
When you use our financial education services, you're trusting us with data. That trust matters. We've written this in plain English because you deserve to know exactly what happens with your information.
Information We Collect
We gather different types of information depending on how you interact with our platform. Some you give us directly, others we collect automatically.
Personal Information You Provide
When you register for our fundamental analysis courses or contact us, we collect:
- Full name and contact details (email address, phone number)
- Residential or business address in Australia
- Payment information processed through secure third-party providers
- Educational background and professional experience related to finance
- Course preferences and learning objectives
- Communication history with our support team
Automatically Collected Information
Our systems log technical data that helps us improve your experience:
- IP address and general location information
- Browser type, device information, and operating system
- Pages visited, time spent on each section, and navigation patterns
- Referral sources and search terms used to find us
- Course completion rates and assessment results
How We Use Your Information
Every piece of data serves a purpose. We're not in the business of collecting information just to have it. Here's what we actually do with it:
| Purpose | Information Used | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Delivering course content and materials | Name, email, learning history | Contract performance |
| Processing payments and managing accounts | Payment details, contact information | Contract performance |
| Communicating about courses and updates | Email, phone, communication preferences | Legitimate interest |
| Improving platform functionality | Usage data, technical information | Legitimate interest |
| Complying with legal obligations | All relevant data as required | Legal compliance |
We also use aggregated, anonymized data to understand broader trends in how people learn fundamental analysis. This helps us design better courses without identifying individual students.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
We don't sell your information. Period. But we do work with partners who help us run our business.
Service Providers We Work With
- Payment processors: Secure handling of transactions. They see only what's needed to process payments.
- Email service providers: For course updates and educational content. You can opt out anytime.
- Cloud hosting services: Where your course data lives, with strong security measures in place.
- Analytics tools: To understand how our platform performs. We use privacy-focused options where possible.
- Customer support software: So we can help you quickly when issues come up.
About Our Partners: Every third-party provider signs agreements that require them to protect your data and use it only for the specific services they provide to us. We vet these companies carefully.
When Law Requires Disclosure
Sometimes we're legally required to share information. This happens when Australian authorities need data for legitimate purposes like preventing fraud, investigating crimes, or enforcing regulations. We only disclose what's legally required and will notify you when possible.
Your Rights Under Australian Privacy Law
The Privacy Act gives you real control over your information. These aren't just theoretical rights – we've built processes to make them practical.
Access Your Data
Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide it in a readable format within 30 days.
Correct Inaccuracies
If something's wrong, tell us. We'll update it promptly and notify anyone we've shared it with if necessary.
Delete Your Information
Ask us to remove your data when it's no longer needed or you withdraw consent. Some exceptions apply for legal obligations.
Restrict Processing
Temporarily limit how we use your information while we resolve disputes or verify accuracy.
Object to Marketing
Stop receiving promotional emails anytime. Course-related communications continue unless you close your account.
Complain to OAIC
If we don't resolve your privacy concern, contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
How to Exercise Your Rights: Email support@olivarexon.com with your request. Include your full name and account email. We'll verify your identity before proceeding – this protects you from unauthorized access.
Security Measures
We take security seriously because breaches aren't just inconvenient – they break trust. Here's what we do:
- Encryption: All data transmission uses TLS encryption. Stored sensitive data is encrypted at rest.
- Access controls: Only authorized staff can access personal information, and only when necessary for their role.
- Regular audits: We review our security practices quarterly and update them as threats evolve.
- Secure development: Our platform is built following security best practices from day one.
- Incident response: We have protocols ready if something goes wrong. You'll hear from us within 72 hours of discovering any breach affecting your data.
No system is completely impenetrable. We stay vigilant and transparent. If we discover unauthorized access to your information, we'll notify you with details about what happened and what we're doing about it.
Data Retention and Deletion
We keep your information only as long as needed. Different types of data have different retention periods based on legal requirements and business needs.
Retention Periods
- Active account data: Maintained while your account exists and for 2 years after closure
- Financial records: Kept for 7 years to comply with Australian tax and business laws
- Course completion certificates: Stored for 10 years to verify credentials if you need them
- Marketing communications: Removed within 30 days of opting out
- Support correspondence: Kept for 3 years to maintain service quality and resolve disputes
- Usage analytics: Anonymized after 18 months and retained as aggregated statistics
Deletion Process
When retention periods end or you request deletion, we permanently remove data from active systems within 90 days. Backup systems may retain copies for up to 6 additional months before automatic purging. Data required for legal compliance stays until obligations expire.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Like most websites, we use cookies. They're small files stored on your device that help the site function and remember your preferences.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential cookies: Required for login, course access, and basic functionality. These aren't optional.
- Preference cookies: Remember your settings like language and display options.
- Analytics cookies: Show us how people use the site so we can make improvements.
- Security cookies: Detect suspicious activity and protect your account.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies will affect how the platform works. Most browsers let you block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones.
Children's Privacy
Our courses are designed for adults. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you're a parent and discover your child has created an account, contact us immediately and we'll delete it.
Australia's Privacy Act has specific protections for minors. We follow these strictly and verify ages during registration when someone appears young.
International Data Transfers
Your data is primarily stored on servers in Australia. Some service providers operate internationally, which means your information might be processed overseas. When this happens:
- We ensure the receiving country has adequate privacy protections or put contractual safeguards in place
- We verify that international partners comply with standards equivalent to Australian Privacy Principles
- We maintain the ability to access and control your data regardless of where it's stored
- We notify you during registration if your data will leave Australia
You have the right to know which countries receive your data. Email us for a current list of where our service providers operate.
Changes to This Policy
Privacy law evolves. Our business practices change. When we update this policy, we'll notify active users by email at least 30 days before changes take effect. Significant changes require your explicit consent.
We archive previous versions of this policy. If you want to see what our privacy practices looked like at any point, just ask.
The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when we most recently revised this document. Check back occasionally – we'll highlight what changed when we update.
