When We Share Your Data

We share your information only when necessary to provide our services or when required by law. Here's exactly when and with whom we might share your data:

Service Providers

Trusted partners who help us operate our platform, such as payment processors, email service providers, and cloud hosting companies. These partners can only use your data for the specific services they provide to us.

In the unlikely event galionthesuva is acquired or merged, your information may be transferred to the new owner, but the same privacy protections would continue to apply.

How We Protect Your Data

We've implemented comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Encryption

All sensitive data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption. Your payment information never touches our servers directly.

Access Controls

Only authorized galionthesuva staff can access your information, and only when necessary for course administration or student support. All access is logged and monitored.

Regular Audits

We conduct quarterly security reviews and annual penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in our systems.

Secure Infrastructure

Our data is hosted in Australian data centers that meet ISO 27001 security standards, with 24/7 monitoring and backup systems.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services and meet legal obligations. Different types of information have different retention periods.

2Y
Marketing Communications: Email addresses and contact preferences are kept for 2 years after your last interaction with us, or until you unsubscribe.
5Y
Student Records: Educational transcripts, course completion certificates, and academic performance data are retained for 5 years to support credential verification.
7Y
Financial Records: Payment information and billing records are kept for 7 years to comply with Australian tax and accounting requirements.

After these periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your information. You can request early deletion of your data at any time, subject to our legal obligations.

International Data Transfers

While we primarily store and process your data within Australia, some of our service providers may be located overseas. When we transfer your information internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

We may transfer your personal information to:

  • United States: For cloud hosting services and email communications through providers like AWS and Microsoft, which are certified under relevant data protection frameworks.
  • European Union: For learning management system services that comply with GDPR standards and provide equivalent protection to Australian privacy laws.
  • Singapore: For payment processing services through regional financial service providers that meet international security standards.

All international transfers are governed by contracts that require the same level of protection for your personal information as provided under Australian privacy law.
