How We Use Your Information

Your information serves specific purposes related to providing and improving our budgeting services. We don't use your data for purposes unrelated to financial wellness and education.

Service Delivery: We use your financial data to generate personalized budgets, track spending patterns, and provide insights that help you make informed financial decisions.
Account Management: Your contact information helps us communicate account updates, security alerts, and important service notifications.
Customer Support: When you reach out for help, we use your information to provide personalized assistance and resolve technical issues.
Platform Improvement: Anonymous usage data helps us identify which features work well and where we can make improvements to serve you better.
Security and Compliance: We monitor for suspicious activities and use your information to comply with Australian financial regulations and tax reporting requirements.
Educational Content: We may use aggregated, anonymized data to create general financial wellness content and budgeting guides that benefit our entire user community.

We believe in data minimization – we only collect and use information that's genuinely necessary for providing our budgeting services. If we ever want to use your data for new purposes, we'll ask for your explicit consent first.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We maintain strict control over your personal information and only share it with trusted partners who help us deliver our services. Here's our complete disclosure of when and how we share data:

Financial Data Providers: We work with certified financial data aggregators like Yodlee and Plaid to securely connect to your bank accounts. These partnerships are governed by strict data protection agreements, and these companies only provide us with the transaction data you authorize.
Cloud Service Providers: We use Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure for secure data storage and processing. These providers meet industry-leading security standards and are bound by comprehensive data protection agreements.
Analytics Services: We use Google Analytics and similar tools to understand website usage patterns. This data is anonymized and aggregated, so individual users cannot be identified.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by Australian law, court orders, or regulatory investigations. We'll notify you of such requests unless legally prohibited from doing so.
Business Transactions: If neravistulon is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. You'll receive advance notice of any such change in ownership.

What We Never Do: We never sell your personal information to marketers, data brokers, or advertising companies. We don't share your financial details with other financial institutions for their marketing purposes. Your data isn't used to create profiles for third-party advertising networks.

Your Privacy Rights and Controls

Australian privacy law gives you significant rights over your personal information. We've built tools and processes to make exercising these rights straightforward and efficient.

Access Your Data: You can download a complete copy of your personal information through your account settings or by contacting our privacy team. We'll provide this information within 30 days of your request.
Correct Inaccuracies: If you notice errors in your personal information, you can update most details directly through your account dashboard. For more complex corrections, contact our support team.
Delete Your Account: You can permanently delete your neravistulon account and all associated data by visiting your account settings and selecting "Delete Account." This process is irreversible and removes all your financial data from our systems.
Restrict Processing: You can ask us to limit how we use certain types of your data while still maintaining your account. For example, you might want us to stop sending marketing emails while continuing to provide budgeting services.
Data Portability: You can export your financial data in common formats (CSV, PDF) to use with other budgeting tools or for your personal records.
Withdraw Consent: For any data processing based on your consent (like accessing your bank accounts), you can withdraw that consent at any time through your account settings.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@neravistulon.com or use the privacy controls in your account dashboard. We'll respond to all privacy requests within 30 days and provide clear information about any actions we've taken.

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your financial information is our highest priority. We employ multiple layers of security measures designed to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss.

Encryption: All data transmission between your device and our servers uses 256-bit SSL encryption. Your sensitive information is also encrypted while stored in our databases, making it unreadable even if someone gained unauthorized access.
Access Controls: Only authorized neravistulon employees with legitimate business needs can access your personal information. All access is logged and regularly audited by our security team.
Infrastructure Security: Our servers are hosted in secure data centers with 24/7 monitoring, biometric access controls, and redundant backup systems. We conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing.
Employee Training: All neravistulon staff receive comprehensive privacy and security training. They're bound by strict confidentiality agreements and understand the importance of protecting your financial information.
Incident Response: We maintain detailed procedures for responding to any potential security incidents. If a breach ever affects your data, we'll notify you within 72 hours and provide clear information about what happened and what we're doing about it.

We regularly review and update our security measures to address new threats and maintain compliance with Australian financial data protection standards. While no system is completely immune to security risks, we're committed to maintaining the highest standards of data protection.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your information only as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal requirements. Here's how we determine retention periods and what happens to your data over time:

Active Account Data: While your account is active, we retain your financial data and transaction history to provide continuous budgeting insights and maintain your spending trends over time.
Inactive Accounts: If you stop using neravistulon but don't delete your account, we'll keep your basic account information for up to 3 years in case you decide to return. Financial data may be archived after 12 months of inactivity.
Legal Requirements: Some financial records must be retained for up to 7 years to comply with Australian tax and financial regulations. This includes transaction summaries and account statements, but not detailed personal information.
Deleted Accounts: When you delete your account, we immediately remove your personal information and financial data from our active systems. Some anonymized usage statistics may be retained for internal analytics purposes.
Backup Systems: Deleted data may persist in our backup systems for up to 90 days before being permanently purged. During this period, the data is not accessible for any operational purposes.

You can request early deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at privacy@neravistulon.com. We'll work with you to delete information that isn't required for legal compliance while explaining any retention requirements that might apply to certain records.

International Data Transfers

While neravistulon operates primarily within Australia, some of our service providers and technology partners are located overseas. We ensure that any international data transfers maintain the same level of protection required under Australian privacy law.

Cloud Storage: Your data may be stored on servers located in the United States, Singapore, or other countries where our cloud providers operate secure data centers. These providers are certified under international data protection frameworks.
Customer Support: Some customer service functions may be handled by team members in other countries. These staff members receive the same privacy training and are bound by identical confidentiality requirements as our Australian team.
Technology Partners: Financial data aggregation services may process your information through servers in multiple countries to ensure reliable access to your bank account information. All such processing is covered by strict data protection agreements.
Safeguards: All international transfers are protected by contractual safeguards that require the same level of data protection you'd receive under Australian privacy law. We regularly audit these arrangements to ensure compliance.

If you have concerns about international data transfers, you can contact our privacy team to understand exactly where your data is processed and what protections are in place. We're committed to transparency about these arrangements and will work with you to address any specific concerns.

Children's Privacy

neravistulon's budgeting services are designed for adults who can legally enter into financial agreements. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 years of age without parental consent.

If you're a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at privacy@neravistulon.com. We'll promptly investigate and delete any such information from our systems.

For families interested in financial education, we recommend that parents review our educational content and budgeting resources together with their children rather than allowing minors to create individual accounts.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We review and update this Privacy Policy regularly to reflect changes in our services, technology, and legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through multiple channels to ensure you're aware of how these changes might affect you.

Notification Methods: We'll send email notifications to your registered address and display prominent notices on our website when significant policy changes take effect.
Advance Notice: Material changes will be announced at least 30 days before they take effect, giving you time to review the changes and make decisions about your account.
Your Options: If you disagree with policy changes, you can delete your account before the changes take effect. Continuing to use our services after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
Version History: We maintain previous versions of our Privacy Policy on our website so you can review how our practices have evolved over time.

Minor updates (like fixing typos or clarifying existing practices) may be made without advance notice, but we'll always update the "Last Modified" date at the top of this policy to reflect when changes were made.
