Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
At Firalyntorva, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our budget software tools and services.
We operate under Australian privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). This means you have specific rights about how your information is handled, and we're committed to meeting those standards.
What Information We Collect
The type of information we gather depends on how you interact with our services. Here's what we typically collect:
Personal Details You Provide
When you sign up for Firalyntorva or reach out to us, you might share:
- Your name and email address
- Phone number if you provide it
- Business or household information related to your budgeting needs
- Payment details when you purchase our services (processed securely through third-party providers)
- Any information you include in support messages or feedback
Financial Data You Enter
Our software helps you manage your budget, which means you'll enter financial information like income, expenses, and savings goals. This data stays in your account and is encrypted for your protection.
Technical Information
Like most online services, we automatically collect some technical details:
- IP address and general location (city or region level)
- Browser type and device information
- How you navigate through our software
- Pages you visit and features you use
- Time and date of your visits
How We Use Your Information
We're not in the business of selling your data. Everything we collect serves specific purposes:
Service Delivery
Your information helps us provide and improve Firalyntorva's budget tools. We use it to set up your account, process payments, sync your data across devices, and make sure everything works as it should.
Customer Support
When you contact us with questions or issues, we'll use your details to help solve problems and respond to your requests. Sometimes we'll look at how you've been using the software to better understand what's going wrong.
Product Development
We analyze usage patterns (in aggregate, not individual snooping) to figure out which features people find helpful and where we can improve. This might mean looking at which tools get used most or where users seem to get stuck.
Communication
We'll send you important updates about your account, changes to our services, and occasional tips about getting more from our budget tools. You can opt out of the tips—we won't take it personally.
Important note: We never use your specific financial data for marketing or share it with advertisers. Your budget details are yours alone.
Data Storage and Security
Your information is stored on secure servers located in Australia and, in some cases, with trusted cloud service providers who meet Australian data protection standards.
Security Measures
We protect your data using:
- Industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage
- Regular security audits and vulnerability testing
- Restricted access controls—only authorized staff can access user data, and only when necessary
- Secure payment processing through PCI-compliant providers
- Regular backups to prevent data loss
That said, no system is completely bulletproof. While we work hard to protect your information, we can't guarantee absolute security. If we ever experience a data breach that affects your personal information, we'll notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law.
Data Retention
We keep your information as long as you have an active account with us. If you close your account, we'll delete most of your data within 90 days, though we might retain some information longer if required by law (tax records, for example) or for legitimate business purposes like resolving disputes.
Sharing Your Information
We don't sell or rent your personal information. Period. But there are limited situations where we share data with others:
| Who We Share With | What We Share | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Payment processors | Payment and billing information | To process your subscription payments securely |
| Cloud service providers | Account and usage data | For hosting and technical infrastructure |
| Analytics providers | Anonymized usage statistics | To understand how our software is used and improve it |
| Legal authorities | Any relevant information | When required by law or to protect rights and safety |
All third parties we work with are required to protect your information and use it only for the specific purposes we've authorized. We don't let them use your data for their own marketing.
Your Rights Under Australian Law
Australian privacy law gives you several rights regarding your personal information. Here's what you can do:
Access Your Information
You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this within 30 days, usually at no charge (though we might charge a reasonable fee for complex requests).
Correct Your Information
If something we have on file is wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it. You can update most information directly in your account settings.
Delete Your Information
You can request that we delete your personal information. We'll comply unless we have a legal reason to keep it (like tax obligations). Simply close your account or contact us directly.
Restrict Processing
In some situations, you can ask us to limit how we use your information. For example, if you're disputing the accuracy of your data.
Complain
If you're not happy with how we've handled your information, you can lodge a complaint with us first. If you're not satisfied with our response, you have the right to complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
To exercise any of these rights, email us at help@firalyntorva.com with "Privacy Request" in the subject line. We'll verify your identity and respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to make our service work properly and improve your experience. Here's the breakdown:
Essential Cookies
These keep you logged in and remember your preferences. Without them, our service won't function properly. You can't opt out of these if you want to use Firalyntorva.
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how people use our software—which features are popular, where users encounter problems, that kind of thing. The data is anonymized and used solely for improving our service.
Managing Cookies
Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. Keep in mind that blocking cookies might affect how well our software works for you.
International Data Transfers
We primarily store data in Australia, but some of our service providers operate internationally. When your information is transferred overseas, we ensure it receives protection comparable to Australian privacy standards through:
- Contractual agreements requiring appropriate data protection
- Working only with providers in countries with adequate privacy laws
- Implementing technical safeguards like encryption during transfer
If you have concerns about where your data is stored, contact us for specific details about our current infrastructure.
Children's Privacy
Firalyntorva isn't designed for children under 18. We don't knowingly collect information from minors. If you're under 18, please don't use our service or provide us with personal information. If we discover we've accidentally collected data from a minor, we'll delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We'll update this policy from time to time as our practices evolve or laws change. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you by email or through a prominent notice in the software. The "Last Updated" date at the top tells you when the most recent changes were made.
Continuing to use Firalyntorva after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy. If you disagree with changes, you'll need to stop using our service and close your account.
Contact Us About Privacy
If you have questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your information, we're here to help. We aim to respond to all privacy inquiries within five business days.
