Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 15 January 2025
At serionvaleth, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our financial statement analysis services.
We're based in Australia and comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). We believe you should know exactly what happens to your data—no confusing jargon or hidden surprises.
Information We Collect
We collect different types of information depending on how you interact with our platform. Here's what we gather and why:
Account Information
Your name, email address, phone number, and company details when you register or contact us.
Financial Data
Financial statements, documents, and reports you upload for analysis purposes.
Usage Data
How you interact with our platform—pages visited, features used, and time spent on different sections.
Technical Information
IP address, browser type, device information, and operating system details.
We don't collect information we don't need. Everything we gather has a specific purpose related to providing you with better financial analysis services.
How We Use Your Information
Your data isn't just sitting in a database somewhere. We actually use it to make your experience better. Here's how:
- Processing and analyzing the financial statements you submit through our platform
- Providing you with accurate analysis reports and insights based on your data
- Communicating with you about your account, services, and important updates
- Improving our analytical tools and developing new features based on usage patterns
- Ensuring platform security and preventing fraudulent activities
- Complying with legal obligations and Australian financial regulations
- Sending you relevant educational content about financial analysis (only if you've opted in)
We never sell your personal information to third parties. Your financial data is particularly sensitive, and we treat it with the highest level of protection.
Data Storage and Security
Security isn't just a checkbox for us—it's fundamental to everything we do. Your financial information deserves serious protection.
Where We Store Your Data
All data is stored on secure servers located in Australia. We use Australian-based data centers that meet strict security standards and comply with local data protection regulations.
Security Measures
- Industry-standard encryption for data transmission (TLS 1.3)
- Encrypted storage of sensitive financial information at rest
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
- Multi-factor authentication options for account access
- Strict access controls—only authorized personnel can access your data
- Regular backups with secure, encrypted storage
Despite our best efforts, no system is 100% secure. If we experience a data breach that affects your information, we'll notify you promptly as required by Australian law.
Sharing Your Information
We don't share your information casually. When we do share data, there's always a good reason and it's done with appropriate safeguards.
Service Providers
We work with carefully selected third-party service providers who help us operate our platform. This includes cloud hosting providers, payment processors, and technical support services. These providers only access the information necessary to perform their specific functions and are contractually obligated to protect your data.
Legal Requirements
Sometimes we're legally required to disclose information. This might happen if we receive a valid court order, subpoena, or request from Australian law enforcement or regulatory authorities. We'll only share what's legally required and will notify you when possible.
Business Transfers
If serionvaleth is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. You'll be notified of any such change and given options regarding your data.
