We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or regulatory authority. This includes responding to subpoenas, search warrants, or other legal processes. We'll notify you of such requests unless legally prohibited from doing so.

If grylontisava is acquired by or merged with another company, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We'll notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Your Privacy Rights

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988, you have several rights regarding your personal information. We're committed to helping you exercise these rights promptly and transparently.

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your financial information is our top priority. We implement comprehensive security measures designed to safeguard your data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Technical Safeguards

We use industry-standard encryption protocols (TLS 1.3) to protect data in transit and AES-256 encryption for data at rest. Our servers are hosted in secure data centres with 24/7 monitoring, multi-factor authentication, and regular security audits.

Access Controls

Only authorised personnel have access to your personal information, and access is limited to what's necessary for their job functions. All employees undergo background checks and sign confidentiality agreements. We maintain detailed access logs and conduct regular reviews.

Incident Response

In the unlikely event of a data breach, we have procedures in place to contain the incident, assess the impact, and notify affected users and relevant authorities as required by law. We'll provide clear information about what happened and steps we're taking to prevent future occurrences.

Data Retention and International Transfers

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Different types of information have different retention periods based on their purpose and legal requirements.

Retention Periods

  • Account information: Retained while your account is active plus 7 years after closure
  • Financial data: Stored for the duration of your account plus 5 years for tax purposes
  • Communication records: Kept for 3 years from last contact
  • Usage logs: Automatically deleted after 18 months
  • Marketing preferences: Retained until you withdraw consent

International Data Transfers

Your information is primarily stored and processed in Australia. When we use overseas service providers, we ensure they provide equivalent privacy protection through contractual safeguards, certification schemes, or adequacy decisions. You'll be notified if we plan to transfer your data to countries without adequate privacy protections.
