Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 15 January 2025
At Lazuloriva, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting
your personal information. This policy explains what data we collect,
why we need it, and how we handle it in accordance with Australian
privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian
Privacy Principles.
1. Information We Collect
We collect different types of information depending on how you
interact with our budget monitoring services. The data we gather

unrelated to our budget monitoring services.

encrypted channels. We never store your banking passwords, and we
cannot initiate transactions from your accounts without your explicit
authorization.
3. Sharing Your Information
We don't sell your personal data to third parties. However, we do
share information with specific partners who help us run our
services.
Service Providers
We work with trusted companies that assist with:
- Cloud hosting and data storage (AWS Sydney region)
- Payment processing for subscriptions
- Customer support tools and ticketing systems
- Email delivery and communication platforms
- Analytics and performance monitoring
These providers can only use your data for the specific tasks we
assign them, and they must protect it according to our standards.
Legal Requirements
Sometimes we must share information to comply with Australian law,
respond to valid legal requests, or protect rights and safety. This
includes cooperation with law enforcement when legally required.
Business Transfers
If Lazuloriva merges with or is acquired by another company, your
information would transfer as part of that transaction. We'd notify
you before any such change affects how your data is handled.
4. Your Rights Under Australian Law
Australian privacy law gives you specific rights regarding your
personal information. Here's what you can do:
Access Your Data
Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you.
We'll provide this within 30 days of your request.
Correct Information
Ask us to fix any incorrect or outdated data in your account.
You can also update most details yourself through account
settings.
Delete Your Account
Request complete deletion of your account and associated data.
Some information may need to be retained for legal or accounting
purposes.
Restrict Processing
Limit how we use certain information while we verify accuracy
or investigate concerns you've raised.
Object to Use
Disagree with how we're using your data for specific purposes
like marketing communications.
File a Complaint
Contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner
if you believe we've mishandled your information.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@lazuloriva.com
with "Privacy Request" in the subject line. We'll respond within 30
days and verify your identity before processing requests.
5. Data Security Measures
Protecting your information is a continuous effort. We've built
multiple layers of security into our systems:
Technical Safeguards
- 256-bit SSL encryption for all data transmission
- Encrypted storage of sensitive information at rest
- Regular security audits and penetration testing
- Automatic logout after periods of inactivity
- Multi-factor authentication options for account access
Organizational Practices
- Staff training on privacy and data handling procedures
- Limited employee access to personal data on a need-to-know
basis
- Background checks for team members with data access
- Incident response procedures for potential breaches
- Regular review and updates of security protocols
Despite our precautions, no system is completely secure. If we
detect a data breach that might affect you, we'll notify you within
72 hours as required by Australian law.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
We keep your information only as long as necessary for the
purposes described in this policy.
Active Account Data
While your account is active, we maintain all your information to
provide continuous service. You can delete specific data points
through your account settings at any time.
Closed Account Data
After you close your account, we delete most personal information
within 90 days. However, some data must be retained longer:
- Transaction records for 7 years (Australian tax law
requirement)
- Support correspondence for 3 years
- Basic account details for 12 months to prevent accidental
reactivation
- Aggregated, anonymized usage statistics indefinitely for
research
Backup Systems
Deleted data may persist in backup systems for up to 90 additional
days before being permanently removed from all storage.
Note: If you request account deletion during an
active billing period, any refund will be processed according to our
standard refund policy before final data deletion.
7. International Data Transfers
Lazuloriva primarily stores and processes data within Australia. Our
main servers are located in the AWS Sydney region.
Some service providers we work with may process data outside
Australia, including in the United States and Europe. When data
leaves Australia, we ensure:
- Providers comply with standards comparable to Australian
privacy law
- Contractual protections are in place to safeguard your
information
- Data transfers use encrypted channels
- You can object to specific international transfers by
contacting us
