Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. This comprehensive policy explains how marivonquels collects, uses, and protects your personal information in accordance with Australian privacy legislation.

Effective Date: 15 January 2025 | Last Updated: 10 January 2025

Information We Collect

marivonquels collects various types of information to provide our financial partnership services effectively. We gather personal identification details including your full name, email address, phone number, and residential address when you create an account or engage with our services. Business information such as company details, ABN, financial position, and partnership preferences are collected to match you with suitable business opportunities.

We also collect technical information automatically through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, browser type, device information, and website usage patterns. This helps us improve our platform and provide personalized experiences.

Financial information may be collected when necessary for partnership verification, including bank account details, credit history, and business revenue information. All financial data collection adheres to strict security protocols and Australian financial privacy regulations.

How We Use Your Information

Your personal information serves several essential purposes within our platform. We use your data primarily to facilitate business partnerships by matching your profile with compatible partners based on industry preferences, location, and business goals. Account management requires us to maintain your personal details for authentication, communication, and service delivery.

Marketing communications may be sent to you about relevant partnership opportunities, platform updates, and industry insights. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time through the unsubscribe link or by contacting our privacy team directly.

We analyze usage patterns and user behavior to enhance our matching algorithms and improve the overall user experience. This analysis is conducted on aggregated, anonymized data wherever possible.

Legal compliance requires us to maintain certain records and may necessitate sharing information with regulatory bodies or law enforcement when legally required. We only disclose the minimum information necessary to meet our legal obligations.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

marivonquels operates with a strict data minimization principle when sharing information with third parties. We partner with verified business networks, financial institutions, and professional service providers to enhance our platform capabilities. These partnerships may require sharing relevant business information to facilitate introductions and partnerships.

Our technology service providers, including cloud storage providers, email service platforms, and analytics tools, may access your data solely for service delivery purposes. All third-party providers are bound by comprehensive data protection agreements and must comply with Australian privacy standards.

We never sell your personal information to data brokers or marketing companies. Any data sharing occurs only with your explicit consent or as required by law.

International data transfers may occur when using global technology platforms or when facilitating international business partnerships. In such cases, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place and that recipient countries have adequate privacy protections.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Australian Privacy Principles and the Privacy Act 1988, you have comprehensive rights regarding your personal information. Understanding and exercising these rights helps you maintain control over your data privacy.

  • Access Right: You can request a complete copy of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this information in a commonly used electronic format within 30 days of your request.
  • Correction Right: If any information we hold is inaccurate or outdated, you can request corrections. We'll update your information promptly and notify relevant third parties if necessary.
  • Deletion Right: You can request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements. Some business records may need to be retained for regulatory compliance.
  • Portability Right: You can request your personal information in a portable format to transfer to another service provider. We'll provide structured data files when technically feasible.
  • Objection Right: You can object to certain processing activities, particularly marketing communications and automated decision-making processes.
  • Restriction Right: You can request restrictions on how we process your information while disputes about accuracy or processing purposes are resolved.

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your personal information is fundamental to our operations. marivonquels employs multiple layers of security measures including encryption, access controls, and regular security audits. All data transmission occurs through secure, encrypted channels using industry-standard TLS protocols.

Our servers are hosted in secure Australian data centers that comply with ISO 27001 security standards. Physical access is strictly controlled, and all systems are monitored 24/7 for security threats. Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments ensure our defenses remain current against evolving threats.

Employee access to personal information is restricted based on job requirements, and all staff receive regular privacy and security training. Multi-factor authentication is mandatory for all administrative accounts.

In the unlikely event of a data breach that may cause harm, we'll notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner within 72 hours, as required by the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by Australian law. Active user accounts and associated data are maintained while your account remains active and for up to two years after account closure to facilitate potential reactivation.

Business partnership records are retained for seven years after the conclusion of business relationships to comply with taxation and corporate law requirements. Marketing preferences and communication records are kept until you opt out or for three years of inactivity, whichever occurs first.

Technical logs and analytics data are automatically purged after 18 months unless specifically required for ongoing security or legal purposes.

When information is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymize it using industry-standard data destruction methods. Backup systems are also purged according to our retention schedule to ensure complete data lifecycle management.
