At valenquirox, we're not fans of legal jargon that nobody understands. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. We operate under the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) outlined in the Privacy Act 1988, and we take that responsibility seriously.
We know privacy matters. You're trusting us with your information when you use our financial management services, and we don't take that lightly.
Who We Are
valenquirox is a financial management communication platform based in South Nowra, New South Wales. We help businesses and individuals better understand and manage their finances through educational resources and communication tools.
Our registered address is 1/142 Princes Highway, South Nowra NSW 2541, Australia. When we say "we," "us," or "our" in this policy, we're talking about valenquirox and our platform at valenquirox.com.
Information We Collect
Look, we only collect what we actually need. There's no sense in hoarding data we'll never use. Here's what we gather and why:
- Contact details like your name, email address, and phone number when you reach out or sign up for our programs
- Professional information including your business name, industry sector, and role when relevant to our services
- Technical data such as IP addresses, browser types, and device information to keep our platform running smoothly
- Usage patterns showing which parts of our educational content you engage with most
- Communication records when you contact us through email, phone, or our contact forms
- Payment information when you enroll in paid programs — though we never store complete credit card numbers ourselves
How We Collect Your Data
Direct Collection
Most information comes straight from you. When you fill out our contact form, register for a learning program, or email us directly, you're choosing to share that information with us.
We're upfront about what we're asking for and why. If a field is marked as required, it's because we genuinely need it to provide the service you're requesting.
Automatic Collection
Some data gets collected automatically when you use our website. Standard web analytics help us understand which resources are most helpful and where we might improve things.
We use cookies — small text files stored on your device. Most are essential for the site to function properly. Others help us analyze usage patterns, but you can disable those through your browser settings without breaking anything important.
Why We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for specific purposes:
- Delivering the financial education services and resources you've requested
- Responding to your inquiries and providing customer support
- Processing enrollments and managing program participation
- Improving our educational content based on what actually helps people
- Sending relevant updates about programs you've expressed interest in
- Meeting our legal obligations under Australian financial and privacy regulations
- Protecting our platform from security threats and fraudulent activity
We won't use your personal information for unrelated purposes without asking your permission first. And we definitely won't sell your data to third parties — that's not our business model.
Important note: We never share your financial information with marketing companies or data brokers. Your enrollment in our programs remains confidential unless you specifically ask us to share it.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We keep your information within valenquirox except in these specific situations:
| Who We Share With |

| Legal authorities |
When required by Australian law or to protect legal rights |
All third parties we work with are carefully vetted and contractually obligated to protect your information according to Australian privacy standards.
Your Rights Under Australian Law
The Australian Privacy Principles give you real control over your personal information. Here's what that means practically:
Access Your Information
You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We'll provide it within 30 days, usually faster. There's no charge for reasonable requests.
Correct Inaccurate Data
Noticed something wrong? Let us know and we'll fix it promptly. You can update most contact details directly through your account, or email us at info@valenquirox.com.
Request Deletion
You can ask us to delete your personal information. We'll comply unless we're legally required to keep it — for example, financial records we must retain under tax laws.
When you request deletion, we'll remove your data from active systems within 30 days. Some backup copies may persist temporarily, but they'll be deleted during our regular backup cycles.
Opt Out of Communications
Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. Click it, and we'll stop sending promotional content. You'll still receive essential messages about programs you're enrolled in.
Lodge a Complaint
If you believe we've mishandled your information, contact us first. We take complaints seriously and will investigate thoroughly.
You also have the right to complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at any time. Their contact details are available at oaic.gov.au.
How We Protect Your Data
Security isn't just a checklist item for us. We've implemented multiple layers of protection:
- Industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage
- Secure servers located in Australian data centers with physical security measures
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
- Strict access controls — only authorized staff can view personal information
- Employee training on privacy responsibilities and data handling procedures
- Automated backup systems with encrypted off-site storage
No system is completely impenetrable, but we monitor constantly and update our security measures as threats evolve. If we ever experience a data breach affecting your information, we'll notify you promptly as required by Australian law.
Data Retention Periods
We don't keep data longer than necessary. Here's our retention approach:
- Active account information: Retained while your account remains active plus 12 months
- Financial transaction records: Seven years, as required by Australian tax law
- Marketing communications data: Until you unsubscribe, then deleted within 30 days
- General inquiry records: Two years from last contact
- Website analytics: Aggregated and anonymized after 26 months
When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize the information so it can no longer identify you.
International Data Transfers
We primarily store data within Australia. However, some service providers we use — like cloud hosting and email platforms — may process data on servers located overseas.
When we transfer data internationally, we ensure the receiving country has privacy protections comparable to Australia's, or we implement additional safeguards through contractual agreements.
You have the right to know where your data is stored. Contact us if you'd like specific details about our current data storage locations.
Children's Privacy
Our services are designed for adults managing business finances. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 without parental consent.
If you're a parent and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately. We'll delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We review and update this privacy policy periodically. Changes might reflect new services, legal requirements, or feedback from users like you.
When we make significant changes, we'll notify you via email or through a prominent notice on our website. Continuing to use our services after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
Previous versions of this policy are archived and available upon request if you want to review what's changed over time.
This privacy policy is effective as of January 15, 2025
