Introduction and Commitment

At Scriptly-ApiWise, we understand that managing your personal information is a serious responsibility. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you engage with our budget audit preparation services. We've designed our practices to comply with Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 and related legislation.

Your privacy matters to us. We don't sell your information to third parties, and we only collect what we genuinely need to provide you with effective financial guidance and audit preparation services.

Information We Collect

The type of information we gather depends on how you interact with our services. Here's what we typically collect:

How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information for specific, legitimate purposes related to our audit preparation services:

• Conducting budget analysis and audit preparation services
• Communicating with you about your projects and requirements
• Maintaining accurate records for compliance purposes
• Improving our service delivery based on client feedback
• Meeting legal obligations under Australian financial regulations
• Protecting against fraud and ensuring service security

Data Storage and Security

Your information is stored securely using industry-standard protection measures. We maintain physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

Financial records and audit materials are encrypted both in transit and at rest. Our systems undergo regular security assessments, and access to your information is limited to authorized personnel who need it for legitimate business purposes.

We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by Australian law. Financial records may be kept for up to seven years in accordance with Australian Taxation Office requirements.

Third-Party Relationships

We work with carefully selected service providers to deliver our audit preparation services effectively. These may include cloud storage providers, accounting software companies, and professional advisors.

Any third party that handles your information on our behalf is bound by strict confidentiality agreements and must maintain the same level of data protection that we provide. We don't allow these partners to use your information for their own purposes.

We may also share information when required by law, such as responding to court orders or regulatory inquiries, or to protect our legitimate business interests in cases of fraud or security threats.

International Data Transfers

While we primarily store data within Australia, some of our service providers may process information overseas. When this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information according to Australian privacy standards.

We only transfer data to countries or organizations that provide adequate protection for personal information, and we maintain oversight of how your data is handled regardless of location.

Website and Cookie Information

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality and understand how visitors use our site. Most cookies we use are essential for basic website operation, but we also use analytics cookies to help us improve our services.

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Disabling cookies may affect some website features, but won't prevent you from accessing our main content or contacting us about our services.

Changes to This Policy

We review and update this privacy policy regularly to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify existing clients directly and post the updated policy on our website.

Minor updates, such as clarifications or formatting changes, may be made without individual notification. The "last updated" date at the top of this policy indicates when the most recent changes were made.
