How We Use Your Information

We're transparent about why we need your information. Here's what we do with it:

We won't use your information for purposes you haven't agreed to. If we want to use your data in a new way, we'll ask for your permission first.

How We Protect Your Data

Security isn't just a checkbox for us. We've put several measures in place to keep your information safe:

• Encrypted data transmission using industry-standard SSL technology
• Secure servers located in Australian data centers with physical and digital access controls
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Staff training on data protection and confidentiality requirements
• Limited access protocols ensuring only authorized personnel can view sensitive information
• Regular backup procedures to prevent data loss

Sharing Your Information

We don't sell your personal information to third parties. Period. But we may need to share certain details in specific situations:

Service Providers

We work with trusted partners who help us deliver our services. These might include:

• Legal advisors who assist with contract preparation and due diligence
• Accountants who help with financial assessments and valuations
• Marketing platforms that handle our email communications (they can't use your data for their own purposes)
• Cloud storage providers who host our secure data systems

Legal Requirements

Sometimes we're required by law to share information with:

• Australian tax authorities when legally obligated
• Law enforcement agencies if they present a valid warrant
• Regulatory bodies that oversee financial services
• Courts when compelled by legal proceedings

Business Transactions

If belontraviax is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the new owners. We'll notify you before this happens.

Your Privacy Rights Under Australian Law

The Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles give you specific rights regarding your personal information. Here's what you can do:

Access Your Information

You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We'll provide this within 30 days, though complex requests might take a bit longer. We'll let you know if that's the case.

Correct Your Information

If you spot inaccuracies in your data, tell us. We'll update our records promptly. This is particularly important for business details that affect valuations or sale processes.

Request Deletion

You can ask us to delete your personal information, subject to certain limitations. We may need to retain some records for legal or regulatory reasons, but we'll explain if that applies.

Opt Out of Marketing

You can unsubscribe from our marketing communications at any time. Each email includes an unsubscribe link, or you can contact us directly. We'll still send you essential service-related communications.

Lodge a Complaint

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, contact us first. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

Data Retention

We keep your information only as long as necessary. Here's our general approach:

• Active client files are retained throughout our engagement and for seven years afterward, as required by Australian financial record-keeping laws
• Marketing contact information is kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion
• Website usage data is typically retained for two years for analytical purposes
• Financial records related to completed transactions are kept for seven years per tax regulations
• General inquiry information is deleted after two years if no business relationship develops

When we delete data, we do so securely to prevent unauthorized access or recovery.

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies to improve functionality and understand how visitors interact with our site. You can control cookie settings through your browser.

Types of Cookies We Use

• Preference cookies that remember your settings and choices

We don't use advertising cookies or sell cookie data to third parties. The analytics we collect help us make the site more useful for business owners looking to sell.

International Data Transfers

Your data is primarily stored on servers located in Australia. In some cases, service providers may process data outside Australia (for example, cloud storage providers with international infrastructure).

When this happens, we ensure these providers maintain privacy standards comparable to Australian requirements. We use contractual protections and only work with reputable providers who prioritize data security.

Children's Privacy

Our services are designed for business owners and aren't intended for individuals under 18. We don't knowingly collect information from minors. If we discover we've inadvertently gathered data from someone under 18, we'll delete it promptly.
