Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 1 January 2026
At veralyqomenu, we believe transparency matters. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. We operate under Australian privacy laws and follow the Australian Privacy Principles outlined in the Privacy Act 1988.
We're not interested in gathering information we don't need. Everything we collect serves a specific purpose related to providing our financial education services and improving the learning experience for our students.

How We Use Your Information
Everything we collect has a purpose. We don't believe in gathering data just to have it sitting around. Here's exactly what we do with the information you provide.
| Purpose | Information Used | Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Program Enrollment and Administration | Personal details, educational background, payment information | Contract performance |
| Course Delivery and Learning Support | Contact information, progress data, assessment results | Contract performance |
| Communication About Your Learning | Email, phone number, learning progress | Legitimate interest |
| Platform Improvement and Development | Usage data, technical information, feedback | Legitimate interest |
| Certification and Accreditation | Personal details, assessment results, completion records | Contract performance |
| Compliance with Legal Obligations | All relevant information as required by law | Legal requirement |
Marketing Communications
We'll only send you marketing emails about new programs, resources, or industry insights if you've explicitly opted in. You can change your mind anytime by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or contacting us directly. Course-related communications continue regardless of marketing preferences because they're essential to your learning experience.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We're selective about who gets access to your information. Your data isn't a commodity we sell or trade. Here's the complete picture of when and why we might share your information.
Service Providers and Partners
Some aspects of our operations require trusted third-party services. These providers only access the specific information needed to perform their functions.
- Payment processors for secure transaction handling
- Cloud hosting providers for our learning management system
- Email service providers for program communications
- Assessment and certification partners for accredited programs
- Analytics services to understand how our platform is used
All third parties are bound by confidentiality agreements and must comply with Australian privacy standards. They can't use your information for their own purposes.
Legal and Regulatory Requirements
Sometimes we're legally obligated to share information with government authorities or regulatory bodies. This happens when:
- Required by Australian law or valid legal process
- Necessary to comply with educational accreditation standards
- Needed to protect someone's safety or prevent harm
- Part of legitimate fraud prevention or security investigations
Business Transitions
If veralyqomenu merges with another organization or transfers ownership, your information would be part of that transition. We'd notify you beforehand and ensure the new entity maintains the same privacy commitments.
What we don't do: We never sell your personal information to marketing companies, data brokers, or anyone else. Your educational journey and personal details aren't products we monetize beyond the direct services you've enrolled in.
Your Privacy Rights
Australian privacy law gives you specific rights regarding your personal information. These aren't just theoretical. We've built processes to make exercising these rights straightforward.
Access Your Information
You can request a copy of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this in a readable format within 30 days.
Correct Inaccuracies
If any information we have is wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it promptly. Accurate records matter for certifications and communications.
Request Deletion
You can ask us to delete your information, though we may need to retain certain records for legal or regulatory reasons even after program completion.
Restrict Processing
In certain situations, you can ask us to limit how we use your information while we resolve a concern or dispute.
Data Portability
You can request your information in a format that allows you to transfer it elsewhere. Useful if you're moving to another educational provider.
Object to Processing
You can object to certain uses of your information, particularly for marketing purposes or activities based on legitimate interest.
How to Exercise Your Rights
Making a request is simple. Send an email to help@veralyqomenu.com with your full name, the program you're enrolled in, and specifically what you'd like us to do. We'll verify your identity to protect your information and respond within 30 days. If your request is complex, we might need an additional 30 days but we'll let you know.
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your privacy concerns, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. We'd prefer to resolve issues directly, but that option is always available.
Data Security and Protection
Protecting your information isn't optional. We use multiple layers of security to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss of your data.
Technical Security Measures
Organizational Security Practices
Technology alone isn't enough. We maintain strict internal policies about who can access student information and why.
- Staff access is limited to those who need it for their specific roles
- All team members sign confidentiality agreements
- Regular privacy and security training for staff
- Documented procedures for handling data breaches
- Annual review of security practices and updates
- Secure destruction of physical records when no longer needed
Despite our best efforts, no system is completely immune to breaches. If a security incident affects your information, we'll notify you promptly and explain what happened, what data was involved, and what steps we're taking. We'll also notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner when required by law.
Data Retention
We keep your information as long as necessary for legitimate purposes. That duration varies depending on what type of information we're talking about.
| Information Type | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Active Student Records | Duration of enrollment plus 12 months | Ongoing support and program completion |
| Certification Records | 7 years after program completion | Accreditation requirements and verification |
| Financial Transaction Records | 7 years from transaction date | Australian tax law requirements |
| Marketing Communications History | Until you opt out plus 12 months | Compliance with unsubscribe requests |
| Technical Logs and Usage Data | 24 months from collection | System maintenance and security |
| Inquiry and Support Records | 3 years from last contact | Service quality and continuity |
After these periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize the information so it can no longer identify you. Some information might be retained longer if required by law or if there's an ongoing legal matter.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website and learning platform use cookies and similar technologies. These small files help the site function properly and give us insights into how people use our services.
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for the website to work. They remember your login status, keep your session secure, and maintain your preferences during a visit. You can't opt out of these without making the site unusable.
Functional Cookies
These improve your experience by remembering choices you've made, like your preferred language or display settings. They make returning to the site more convenient.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our site. Which pages get viewed most? Where do people get stuck? This helps us make improvements. The data is aggregated and doesn't identify you personally.
Managing Cookie Preferences
Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. You can block or delete cookies, though this might affect how well the site works. Check your browser's help section for specific instructions.
International Data Transfers
veralyqomenu primarily operates in Australia, and your information is stored on servers located within Australia. Some service providers we work with might process data outside Australia, including in countries like the United States or Singapore.
When data leaves Australia, we ensure adequate protections are in place through standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, or other approved mechanisms. These safeguards ensure your information receives protection comparable to Australian privacy standards.
If you're accessing our services from outside Australia, your information will be transferred to and processed in Australia under Australian privacy law.
Children's Privacy
Our programs are designed for adults and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you're under 18 and interested in our programs, we'll need verifiable consent from a parent or guardian before collecting any personal information.
If we discover we've accidentally collected information from someone under 18 without proper consent, we'll delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
Privacy practices evolve, and so might this policy. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you by email and post an updated version here with a new effective date.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continuing to use our services after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms. If changes affect how we use information we've already collected, we'll get your consent where required by law.
Version History: This policy was last updated on 1 January 2026. Previous versions are available upon request if you want to see what changed.
Questions and Contact Information
Privacy can be complicated. If something in this policy isn't clear, or you have concerns about how we handle your information, we want to hear from you.
We aim to respond to all privacy inquiries within five business days. Complex requests might take longer, but we'll keep you updated on progress.
