Data Security and Protection

Protecting your personal information is a top priority at vornestilaraqu. We've implemented comprehensive security measures that span technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to ensure your data remains safe from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

Our security framework includes encryption of sensitive data both in transit and at rest, regular security audits, employee training on data protection protocols, and incident response procedures. We continuously monitor emerging threats and update our security measures accordingly.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Our retention periods vary depending on the type of information and our legitimate business needs.

Course-related data is typically retained for seven years after completion to support credential verification and alumni services. Marketing data is deleted within two years of your last interaction with our communications, unless you actively engage with our content during that period.

• Account information retained for duration of active enrollment plus seven years
• Payment records kept for seven years for tax and audit purposes
• Communication logs deleted after three years unless part of ongoing inquiry
• Marketing data purged after two years of inactivity
• Technical logs and analytics data aggregated and anonymized after one year

When we delete your information, we use secure deletion methods that make data unrecoverable. Backup copies are also purged according to our retention schedule, ensuring complete removal from our systems.

International Data Transfers

While vornestilaraqu operates primarily within Australia, some of our service providers may process your data in other countries. When international transfers occur, we ensure adequate protection through approved mechanisms under Australian privacy law.

All international data transfers are governed by contractual agreements that require recipient organizations to maintain the same level of privacy protection required under Australian law. We regularly review these arrangements to ensure continued compliance.
