Last Updated: January 15, 2025

ryxalivone is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.

We believe you should understand exactly what information we collect, why we collect it, and how you can manage your data.

How We Use Your Information

Your information helps us deliver better financial management tools and support. Here's how we use the data we collect:

  • Provide access to our spreadsheet templates and financial planning tools
  • Process your account registration and manage your subscription

We never sell your personal information to third parties, and we only share data when necessary to provide our services or when required by law.

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your financial information is our top priority. We implement multiple layers of security to safeguard your data:

  • All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3
  • Financial information is stored using AES-256 encryption at rest
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing by independent security firms
  • Multi-factor authentication available for all user accounts
  • Strict access controls limiting who can view your information
  • Automated monitoring systems that detect unusual activity
  • Regular backups stored in secure, geographically distributed locations
  • Incident response procedures in place for any potential security issues

Our servers are hosted in secure Australian data centers that comply with international security standards. We regularly review and update our security measures to address emerging threats.

Sharing Your Information

We limit data sharing to essential situations that support our service delivery. We may share your information in these specific circumstances:

  • With trusted service providers who help us operate our platform (hosting, payment processing, customer support)
  • When required by Australian law, court order, or government request
  • To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users
  • In connection with a business transfer, merger, or acquisition (with your consent)
  • With your explicit consent for specific purposes

All third-party service providers we work with are required to maintain the same level of data protection and are prohibited from using your information for any other purpose. We maintain written agreements with these providers that specify their obligations regarding your data.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal requirements:

  • Active account data is retained while your account remains open and active
  • Financial data you input is kept for the duration of your subscription plus 7 years for tax and regulatory compliance
  • Technical logs and analytics data are automatically deleted after 24 months
  • Marketing communications data is retained until you unsubscribe
  • Customer support records are kept for 5 years to help resolve future issues

When you close your account, we begin the deletion process within 30 days. Some information may be retained longer if required by law or for legitimate business purposes, such as preventing fraud or resolving disputes.
