xandromeliqo - Smart Income Budgeting & Financial Planning Solutions

Introduction and Our Commitment

At xandromeliqo, we understand that trust forms the foundation of any successful financial relationship. Your privacy isn't just a legal requirement for us – it's a core value that shapes how we design our income budgeting platform and interact with our community.

This comprehensive policy explains exactly how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our services. We've written this in plain English because transparency shouldn't require a law degree to understand.

As an Australian-based financial platform, we comply with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). We also follow international best practices to ensure your data remains secure regardless of where you access our services from.

Information We Collect

We collect different types of information to provide you with personalized budgeting tools and financial insights. Here's exactly what we gather and why:

Account Information

Your name, email address, phone number, and password when you create an account. We use this to identify you securely and communicate important updates about your budgeting progress.

Financial Data

Income sources, expense categories, spending patterns, and budgeting goals you input into our system. This information helps us provide accurate recommendations and insights tailored to your financial situation.

Usage Analytics

How you navigate through our platform, which features you use most, and how long you spend in different sections. This helps us improve the user experience and develop new tools that matter to you.

Device Information

Your IP address, browser type, operating system, and device identifiers. We collect this for security purposes and to ensure our platform works smoothly across different devices and locations.

Communication Records

Emails, chat messages, and support tickets when you contact our team. We keep these records to provide better customer service and resolve any issues you might experience with our platform.

Marketing Preferences

Your choices about receiving newsletters, promotional offers, and educational content. We respect your communication preferences and only send materials you've explicitly agreed to receive.

How We Use Your Information

Every piece of data we collect serves a specific purpose in making your budgeting experience better, safer, and more personalized. We never use your information for purposes you haven't agreed to.

We use your personal information to provide core platform functionality, including generating personalized budget recommendations, tracking your financial progress, and sending you relevant insights about your spending patterns. Your financial data helps us identify trends and suggest ways to optimize your budget allocation.

For security purposes, we analyze usage patterns to detect unusual activity that might indicate unauthorized access to your account. We also use device information to implement additional security measures when you log in from new locations or devices.

When you contact our support team, we use your communication history to provide more efficient assistance and resolve issues faster. We also analyze support interactions to identify common problems and improve our platform accordingly.

With your explicit consent, we may use your contact information to send educational content about budgeting strategies, platform updates, and new features that could benefit your financial management goals.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Australian privacy law, you have specific rights regarding your personal information. We've made it easy to exercise these rights through your account dashboard or by contacting our privacy team directly.

Access Your Data

Request a complete copy of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this in a readable format within 30 days of your request, free of charge for your first annual request.
Correct Inaccuracies

Update or correct any personal information that's outdated or incorrect. You can make most changes directly through your account settings, or contact us for assistance with more complex updates.
Delete Your Information

Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal and contractual obligations. We'll permanently remove your information within 60 days, though some data may be retained for compliance purposes.
Restrict Processing

Limit how we use your information while maintaining your account. This is useful if you want to reduce data processing without completely deleting your account and losing your budgeting history.
Data Portability

Export your financial data in a format that can be imported into other budgeting tools. We provide data exports in CSV and JSON formats to ensure compatibility with most financial applications.
Withdraw Consent

Opt out of marketing communications or data processing activities that require your consent. You can modify these preferences at any time without affecting your core account functionality.

Data Security Measures

Protecting your financial information is our highest priority. We implement multiple layers of security to ensure your data remains safe from unauthorized access, theft, or misuse.

Encryption

All data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption both in transit and at rest. Your financial information is protected by the same security standards used by major banks.

️

Access Controls

Strict employee access policies ensure only authorized personnel can access your data, and only when necessary for providing support or maintaining platform security.

Monitoring

24/7 security monitoring systems detect and respond to potential threats in real-time, with automated alerts for suspicious activity patterns.

Backups

Regular encrypted backups ensure your data can be recovered in case of system failures, with backup systems stored in geographically separate locations.

Authentication

Multi-factor authentication options protect your account from unauthorized access, with support for SMS, email, and authenticator app verification methods.

Compliance

Regular security audits and compliance assessments ensure we meet Australian privacy standards and international security best practices.

Data Retention and Deletion

We only keep your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services or comply with legal requirements. Here's our specific retention schedule for different types of data:

Account Active

While your account remains active, we retain all your financial data, preferences, and usage history to provide continuous budgeting services and personalized recommendations.

90 Days Post-Deletion

After you delete your account, most personal information is permanently removed within 90 days. This includes your financial data, contact information, and usage analytics.

1 Year

Customer support records and communication logs are retained for one year to help resolve any post-deletion issues and improve our service quality.

3 Years

Transaction logs and security records are maintained for three years to comply with Australian financial regulations and assist with fraud prevention efforts.

7 Years

Certain financial records may be retained for seven years as required by Australian tax law and financial services regulations, though these are de-identified where possible.

Information Sharing and Third Parties

We believe in transparency about when and why we might share your information with other parties. We never sell your personal data to marketers or data brokers.

We may share your information with trusted service providers who help us operate our platform, such as cloud hosting companies, email service providers, and payment processors. These partners are contractually required to protect your data and can only use it for specific purposes we've authorized.

If required by law, we may disclose information to government agencies, law enforcement, or regulatory bodies. This includes responding to valid subpoenas, court orders, or legal processes. We'll notify you of such requests unless legally prohibited from doing so.

In the event of a business merger, acquisition, or sale, your information may be transferred to the new entity. We would provide advance notice of such changes and ensure the new owner maintains the same privacy protections outlined in this policy.

International Data Transfers

Important Notice About Data Storage

While xandromeliqo operates from Australia, some of our technology infrastructure and service providers are located overseas, including in the United States and European Union. When your data is transferred internationally, we ensure it remains protected through contractual safeguards, adequacy decisions, or other approved transfer mechanisms. All international data transfers comply with Australian Privacy Principles and maintain the same level of protection as data stored within Australia.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience on our platform and provide personalized features. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Essential cookies are necessary for basic platform functionality, such as keeping you logged in and remembering your dashboard preferences. These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use our services effectively.

Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with our platform, which pages are most popular, and where users encounter difficulties. This information helps us improve the user experience and develop new features.

Marketing cookies, which require your consent, enable us to show you relevant content and track the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns. You can opt out of marketing cookies while still using all core platform features.

Children's Privacy Protection

xandromeliqo's income budgeting platform is designed for adults and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 years of age. If you're under 18, please do not create an account or provide any personal information through our services.

If we discover that we've collected information from someone under 18, we will delete that information immediately. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal information to us should contact our privacy team immediately.

For users aged 18-21, we provide additional educational resources about financial privacy and digital security to help young adults make informed decisions about their personal data.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We review and update this privacy policy regularly to reflect changes in our practices, technology, and legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through multiple channels to ensure you're aware of how the updates might affect you.

For minor updates, such as clarifications or formatting changes, we'll update the "last modified" date at the top of this policy. For substantial changes that affect how we collect, use, or share your information, we'll send email notifications to all active users at least 30 days before the changes take effect.

If you don't agree with policy changes, you can delete your account before the new terms take effect. Continuing to use our services after the effective date of changes indicates your acceptance of the updated privacy policy.
