vorilapexo operates with complete transparency about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. This privacy policy explains our practices in plain language because you deserve to know exactly what happens with your data.

We're based in Australia and follow the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988. But honestly, we'd protect your information carefully regardless of what the law required — it's simply the right thing to do.

When we say "personal information," we mean any data that can identify you or reasonably identify you. This includes obvious things like your name and email, but also less obvious data like your IP address or how you use our website.

We collect information in three main ways: what you give us directly, what we observe about your website usage, and what we receive from third parties. Here's the complete breakdown:

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience. Most are essential for the platform to work properly, while others help us understand which features are most valuable to small business owners like yourself.

Your information serves specific purposes that directly benefit your experience with our small business management platform. We don't use your data for random marketing experiments or sell it to third parties.

We use your information to provide the core service — helping you manage your small business finances effectively. This includes generating reports, tracking expenses, managing invoices, and providing insights about your business performance.

Customer support relies on access to your account information and communication history. When you contact us with questions or technical issues, our team needs context to provide helpful, personalized assistance.

We analyze usage patterns to improve our platform. For example, if many users struggle with a particular feature, we'll redesign it. If certain reports are rarely used, we might simplify the interface. This analysis uses aggregated data — we're looking at trends, not individual behavior.

Legal compliance requires us to maintain certain records and respond to valid legal requests. We'll always notify you when legally permitted if government agencies request your information.

We share your information in limited circumstances, always with your interests in mind. We're not in the business of selling personal data — our revenue comes from providing valuable small business management tools.

Service providers who help us operate the platform may access your information. This includes cloud hosting providers, payment processors, and customer support tools. All these partners sign agreements requiring them to protect your data and use it only for specified purposes.

Banking and financial institutions may receive transaction data when you use payment features or connect external accounts. These transfers use secure, encrypted connections and follow strict financial industry standards.

We'll disclose information if required by Australian law, court orders, or government requests. In cases involving national security, we may be prohibited from notifying you. Otherwise, we'll inform you about legal requests when possible.

Business transfers could involve your information if vorilapexo is acquired or merges with another company. The new owner would be bound by this privacy policy until they provide notice of changes.

We take data security seriously because small business financial information is particularly sensitive. Our security measures combine technical safeguards with careful staff training and access controls.

All data transmissions use TLS encryption, which means information traveling between your device and our servers is scrambled and unreadable to anyone who might intercept it. We use the same encryption standards as major banks.

Our servers are hosted in secure Australian data centers with physical access controls, redundant power systems, and 24/7 monitoring. Only authorized personnel can access server hardware, and all access is logged and reviewed.

Employee access to customer data is strictly limited based on job requirements. Support staff can access account information to help resolve issues, but developers working on new features use anonymized data sets for testing.

We conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify potential vulnerabilities before they become problems. Our team stays current with emerging threats and security best practices in the financial software industry.

Despite these precautions, no online service is completely immune to security breaches. If unauthorized access occurs, we'll notify affected customers within 72 hours and provide clear information about what happened and what steps we're taking.

Under Australian privacy law, you have several rights regarding your personal information. We've designed straightforward processes for exercising these rights without bureaucratic hassles.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our privacy team using the information below. We'll verify your identity and respond promptly. Some requests may take longer if they involve complex technical processes or large amounts of data.

If you're not satisfied with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). However, we're committed to resolving privacy concerns directly whenever possible.

We keep your information only as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal requirements. Different types of data have different retention periods based on their purpose and legal obligations.

Account information and business data remain accessible while you're an active customer. After you close your account, we'll retain this information for seven years to comply with Australian business record-keeping requirements and potential tax audit needs.

Communication records like support tickets and emails are kept for three years to help resolve any ongoing issues and improve our customer service. Marketing communications track opt-outs indefinitely to ensure we respect your preferences.

Technical logs and website usage data are typically deleted after 12 months. We may retain aggregated, anonymized analytics data longer for product development purposes, but this data cannot identify individual users.

When retention periods expire, we securely delete information using industry-standard data destruction methods. Backups containing expired data are also purged according to our data lifecycle management procedures.

Your information is primarily stored and processed within Australia. However, some of our service providers operate internationally, which may involve transferring your data overseas.

Cloud hosting services may replicate data across multiple geographic regions for reliability and performance. These transfers occur between secure data centers operated by reputable providers who maintain strong privacy protections.

Customer support tools and communication platforms may store data in the United States or Europe. We only work with providers who offer adequate privacy protection and have signed appropriate data processing agreements.

When international transfers are necessary, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place. This includes using providers certified under recognized privacy frameworks and implementing additional contractual protections where needed.

You can request information about where your data is stored and processed by contacting our privacy team. We're transparent about our infrastructure and happy to discuss specific concerns about international data handling.

Our small business management platform is designed for adults running businesses. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13, and our services aren't intended for use by minors.

If we discover that we've inadvertently collected information from a child, we'll delete it promptly and take steps to prevent similar occurrences. Parents or guardians who believe their child's information has been collected should contact us immediately.

Business owners who employ family members or have children involved in their business operations should ensure that any account access is properly supervised and complies with relevant child labor laws.

Privacy practices evolve as technology and regulations change. We'll update this policy periodically to reflect new features, legal requirements, or improvements to our data handling practices.

Significant changes will be communicated through email notifications and prominent website notices at least 30 days before they take effect. Minor updates like clarifications or contact information changes may be posted directly to this page.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially if you have concerns about privacy or notice changes in how we operate our service. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when the current version was last updated.

Continued use of our services after policy changes indicates acceptance of the updated terms. If you disagree with changes, you can close your account or contact us to discuss your concerns before the changes take effect.
