Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 2025

At karioivial, we understand that handling financial information comes with serious responsibility. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you engage with our business budget education services. We're committed to transparency because your trust matters to us—and we know that trust gets built through honest communication about what we do with your information.

1 Information We Collect

When you interact with karioivial, we collect different types of information depending on how you use our services. This isn't about gathering data for the sake of it—we only collect what helps us provide better educational resources and support.

Personal Information You Provide

  • Your name, email address, and phone number when you sign up for webinars or contact us
  • Business details like company name and industry sector to customize learning materials
  • Payment information when you enroll in our learning programs (processed securely through third-party payment processors)
  • Questions and feedback you submit through our contact forms or email communications
  • Professional background information you choose to share during consultations

Automatically Collected Data

Our website collects some technical information automatically. Think of it as the digital equivalent of noticing which sections of a physical classroom get the most foot traffic—it helps us understand what's working and what needs improvement.

  • IP addresses and device information (browser type, operating system)
  • Pages you visit and time spent on different sections of our website
  • Referring websites and search terms that brought you to us
  • Session data that helps us identify technical issues

Australian Privacy Principle Compliance: We collect personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. We only collect information that's reasonably necessary for our business functions and educational services.

2 How We Use Your Information

We're pretty straightforward about this. Your information helps us run better programs and provide more relevant educational content. Here's what that looks like in practice:

  • Delivering the learning programs and webinars you've registered for
  • Sending you course materials, updates, and educational resources
  • Responding to your questions and providing support when you need it
  • Improving our content based on what topics generate the most interest
  • Processing payments and maintaining accurate financial records
  • Sending occasional updates about new programs that match your interests (you can opt out anytime)
  • Analyzing how people use our website to make navigation easier
  • Complying with legal obligations under Australian tax and business laws

We don't sell your personal information to third parties. That's not our business model, and frankly, it wouldn't align with the trust-based relationships we aim to build with people interested in financial education.

3 Data Storage and Security

Your information is stored on secure servers located in Australia. We use industry-standard security measures—encryption, secure access protocols, and regular security audits. But let's be honest: no system is completely impenetrable. We work hard to protect your data, but we also believe in being upfront about the fact that absolute security doesn't exist online.

Security Measures We Implement

  • SSL encryption for all data transmitted through our website
  • Restricted access to personal information (only authorized staff can view it)
  • Regular security updates and vulnerability assessments
  • Secure backup systems to prevent data loss
  • Staff training on data protection and privacy requirements
Data Type Storage Duration Reason
Account Information Duration of relationship + 7 years Australian tax and business record requirements
Payment Records 7 years from transaction date ATO compliance and financial auditing
Course Completion Data Indefinitely (unless deletion requested) Certificate verification and learning history
Website Analytics 26 months Understanding usage patterns and improving services
Marketing Communications Until you unsubscribe Sending relevant educational updates

4 Sharing Your Information

We share your information in limited circumstances, and only when necessary. Here's the complete picture of who might see your data:

Service Providers

We work with third-party companies that help us run our business. These include payment processors, email service providers, and hosting companies. They only access the information needed to perform their specific functions, and they're contractually obligated to protect your data.

Legal Requirements

Sometimes Australian law requires us to disclose information. This might happen if we receive a valid court order or need to comply with tax obligations. We're not eager to hand over data, but we will when legally required.

Business Transfers

If karioivial were ever acquired or merged with another company, your information would likely be part of that transfer. We'd notify you if this happens and give you options about how your data is handled going forward.

What We Don't Do: We don't sell your personal information to marketing companies, data brokers, or anyone else. We don't share your email address with other businesses for their promotional purposes. Your enrollment in our programs doesn't automatically sign you up for unrelated third-party communications.

5 Your Privacy Rights

Under Australian privacy law, you have specific rights regarding your personal information. These aren't just theoretical—we've built processes to make sure you can actually exercise these rights without jumping through unnecessary hoops.

Access Your Data

You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We'll provide it in a readable format within 30 days.

Correct Inaccuracies

If your information is wrong or outdated, let us know. We'll update it promptly and notify any third parties who received the incorrect information.

Request Deletion

You can ask us to delete your personal information. We'll comply unless we have legal obligations to retain certain records.

Opt Out of Marketing

Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. Click it once, and you're removed from our mailing list—no questions asked.

Data Portability

You can request your data in a structured format that you can transfer to another service provider.

Lodge a Complaint

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, you can complain to us directly or to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

How to Exercise These Rights

Send an email to help@karioivial.com with "Privacy Request" in the subject line. Tell us what you need, and we'll respond within 10 business days. If your request is complex, we might need up to 30 days, but we'll keep you updated on progress.

6 Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies—small text files that help the site function properly and remember your preferences. Some people get anxious about cookies, but they're mostly harmless tools that make websites work better.

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to function. They remember things like whether you're logged in and keep your session active while you navigate between pages. Without these, the site wouldn't work properly.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics tools to understand how people use our website. This helps us figure out which pages are confusing or which topics need better explanation. The data is aggregated and anonymous—we're not tracking individuals.

Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, though doing so might affect how our website works. If you block essential cookies, some features won't function properly.

7 Children's Privacy

Our services are designed for business owners and professionals. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we discover that we've accidentally collected data from a minor, we'll delete it promptly.

If you're a parent or guardian who believes your child has provided us with personal information, contact us immediately at help@karioivial.com, and we'll sort it out.

8 Changes to This Policy

We update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you by email or through a prominent notice on our website.

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page shows when we last revised the policy. We recommend checking back periodically, especially if you're concerned about how your information is handled.

Continued use of our services after policy changes means you accept the updated terms. If you disagree with changes, you can stop using our services and request deletion of your data.
