Information Sharing and Disclosure

We share your information only when necessary to deliver our educational services or when required by Australian law. Our approach focuses on minimal sharing while ensuring you receive the best possible learning support.

Service Providers

We work with trusted service providers who help us deliver our educational platform. These partners include cloud hosting services, email delivery systems, and learning management platform providers. All service providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and can only use your information for the specific services they provide to us.

Educational Partners

When you enrol in courses that involve guest instructors or specialised content providers, we may share relevant learning information to ensure you receive appropriate educational support. This sharing is limited to what's necessary for course delivery and always happens with your explicit consent.

We will never share your personal information for marketing purposes without your explicit consent, and you can withdraw this consent at any time through your account settings.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by Australian law, court orders, or government regulations. This includes situations where disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, ensure platform safety, or comply with legal investigations. We will notify you of such disclosures unless legally prohibited from doing so.

Under Australian privacy laws, you have significant control over your personal information. We've designed our systems to make exercising these rights straightforward and accessible.

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your personal information is fundamental to everything we do at xilavonero. We've implemented comprehensive security measures that go beyond basic requirements to ensure your data stays safe.

Technical Safeguards

All data transmission uses industry-standard SSL encryption, and we store your information on secure servers with multiple layers of protection. Our platform undergoes regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential risks before they become problems.

Access Controls

We limit access to your personal information to authorised personnel who need it for legitimate business purposes. All team members receive regular privacy and security training, and we maintain detailed logs of who accesses what information and when.

While we implement robust security measures, no system is completely immune to risks. We continuously monitor and update our security practices to address evolving threats.

Incident Response

In the unlikely event of a data security incident, we have established procedures to quickly assess the situation, contain any potential damage, and notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required by Australian privacy laws. We'll provide clear information about what happened and what steps you should take to protect yourself.

Data Retention and Storage

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by Australian law. Our retention periods vary depending on the type of information and how it's used.

Retention Periods

Account information: Retained while your account is active plus 7 years for legal compliance
Course completion records: Kept for 10 years to support educational credentials
Marketing communications data: Retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion
Support communications: Kept for 3 years to maintain service quality
Technical logs and analytics: Retained for 2 years for platform improvement purposes

When we no longer need your information, we securely delete or anonymise it using industry-standard methods. For educational records, we may retain anonymised data for research and course improvement purposes, but this data cannot be linked back to you personally.

International Transfers

Some of our service providers operate outside Australia, which means your information may be transferred to and processed in other countries. We ensure all international transfers comply with Australian privacy laws and include appropriate safeguards to protect your information.
