Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
At beryntalora, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you interact with our capital budgeting education services.
We operate under Australian privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Our approach is straightforward: we only collect what we need, we protect it carefully, and we respect your rights.

How We Use Your Information
Your data serves specific purposes related to delivering quality education. We don't use your information for unrelated marketing or share it carelessly with third parties.
We use your personal information to manage your enrollment, provide course access, communicate important updates, process payments, issue certificates, and improve our educational offerings based on aggregated feedback.
Educational Service Delivery
Most of what we collect directly supports your learning journey. When you enroll in a capital budgeting course, we need your details to create your account, grant platform access, and track your progress through modules.
We send emails about course updates, upcoming sessions, and assignment deadlines. You can adjust these notification preferences in your account settings, though some administrative messages are necessary for course participation.
- Delivering course content and educational materials
- Tracking progress and providing performance feedback
- Issuing certificates and maintaining educational records
- Processing payments and generating receipts
- Responding to support inquiries and technical issues
- Sending course-related announcements and updates
- Improving course content based on usage patterns
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We don't sell your personal information. Period. But we do work with certain service providers who help us deliver our educational programs.
Third-Party Service Providers
Our learning platform relies on trusted partners for specific functions. Payment processors handle financial transactions, cloud storage providers host course materials, and email services deliver your communications. Each provider is contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the specific service they provide.
We conduct due diligence on all service providers to verify they meet Australian privacy standards. If a provider stores data outside Australia, we ensure adequate protections are in place before any transfer occurs.
We may disclose your information if required by Australian law, court order, or government regulation. This includes responding to lawful requests from law enforcement or regulatory bodies. We'll notify you of such requests unless legally prohibited from doing so.
If beryntalora is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We'll notify you via email and prominent website notice before any such transfer occurs, giving you the opportunity to review the new privacy practices.
Your Privacy Rights
Australian privacy law gives you meaningful control over your personal information. Here's what you can do and how to exercise these rights.
Access Your Data
Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this in a commonly used format within 30 days.
Correct Inaccuracies
Ask us to correct any personal information that's inaccurate, out of date, or incomplete. We'll update it promptly.
Request Deletion
Ask us to delete your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements for educational and financial records.
Withdraw Consent
Withdraw consent for marketing communications or optional data collection at any time through your account settings.
Object to Processing
Object to certain uses of your data, particularly for marketing purposes. We'll respect your preferences.
Lodge a Complaint
Submit a privacy complaint to us or directly to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
How to Exercise Your Rights
To make a privacy request, email contact@beryntalora.com with "Privacy Request" in the subject line. Include your full name, the email address associated with your account, and specify which right you're exercising. We'll verify your identity before processing any request.
Most requests are completed within 30 days. For complex requests, we may need an additional 30 days and will explain why. There's no fee for reasonable requests, though we may charge for excessive or repetitive requests.
Data Security Measures
Protecting your information is a serious responsibility. We use multiple layers of security to safeguard your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and our servers uses TLS 1.3 encryption. Stored data is encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption.
Access Controls
Only authorized beryntalora staff can access personal information, and only when necessary for their specific job functions. All access is logged and monitored.
Regular Audits
We conduct quarterly security audits and annual third-party assessments to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
Incident Response
We maintain a documented incident response plan. If a data breach occurs, we'll notify affected individuals and the OAIC within 72 hours when required by law.
While we implement robust security measures, no system is completely impenetrable. You play a role too—keep your login credentials confidential, use a strong unique password, and log out of shared devices. If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, contact us immediately.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to provide functionality and improve your experience. Here's what we use and why.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They enable basic features like page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your login status. You can't opt out of essential cookies if you want to use our platform.
Performance and Analytics
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us identify which course pages are most popular, where users encounter difficulties, and how we can improve navigation. The data is aggregated and doesn't identify you personally.
- Session cookies that expire when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies that remember your preferences between visits
- Analytics tools that track page views and user paths
- Functionality cookies that remember your settings
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality and your ability to access some course features.
Children's Privacy
Our capital budgeting courses are designed for adults in professional settings. We don't knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 years of age.
If you're under 18 and interested in our programs, please have a parent or guardian contact us. If we discover we've inadvertently collected information from someone under 18, we'll delete it promptly.
International Data Transfers
beryntalora primarily stores and processes data within Australia. However, some of our service providers maintain servers in other countries with strong privacy protections.
When data is transferred internationally, we ensure the receiving country has substantially similar privacy protections to Australia, or we implement contractual safeguards like Standard Contractual Clauses. We remain responsible for protecting your information even when processed overseas.
You have the right to know which countries may receive your data. Currently, some data may be processed in the United States and Singapore through our cloud infrastructure and payment processing partners. Both locations provide adequate privacy protections recognized under Australian law.
Data Retention and Deletion
We keep your information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by Australian law.
Retention Periods
Active student records are retained throughout your enrollment and for seven years after course completion. This allows us to verify certificates, respond to transcript requests, and meet educational record-keeping requirements.
Financial records are kept for seven years to comply with Australian tax law. Marketing communications are stored for three years after your last interaction with us.
Request Deletion
Submit a deletion request via email specifying what information you want removed and confirming your identity.
Verification Process
We verify your identity and check for any legal obligations requiring us to retain specific records.
Data Removal
Eligible data is securely deleted from our active systems within 30 days. Backup systems are purged during the next scheduled cycle.
Confirmation
You receive written confirmation once the deletion process is complete, noting any data retained for legal compliance.
Changes to This Policy
We review and update this privacy policy regularly to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when the most recent changes took effect.
If we make significant changes that affect how we handle your personal information, we'll notify you via email and display a prominent notice on our website for at least 30 days. Continued use of our services after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically. You can always find the current version at beryntalora.com/privacy-rights.html.
