Service Providers

We work with trusted partners who help us deliver our services. These companies are contractually bound to protect your information and can only use it for the specific services they provide to us.

Business Transfers

If sypharionex becomes part of another company through merger or acquisition, your information would be transferred as part of that transaction. We'd notify you beforehand and ensure your privacy rights remain protected.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Australian privacy law, you have several important rights regarding your personal information. We've made it easy for you to exercise these rights.

How to Exercise Your Rights

Making a privacy request is straightforward. Here's the process:

Data Security Measures

Protecting your information is fundamental to everything we do. We've implemented comprehensive security measures that go beyond industry standards.

• Background checks for employees with access to customer data

International Data Transfers

While sypharionex is an Australian company, some of our service providers operate internationally. When your information is transferred outside Australia, we ensure it receives equivalent protection.

Approved Jurisdictions

We only transfer data to countries that have been assessed by the Australian Government as having adequate privacy protections, including:

• European Union member states under GDPR

• Data localization where technically feasible and operationally practical

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your information only as long as necessary to provide our services and meet legal requirements. Our retention practices are designed to balance your privacy with business and regulatory needs.

Automated Deletion

We've implemented automated systems that regularly review and delete information that's no longer needed:

• Monthly reviews of inactive accounts and expired data
• Automated purging of temporary files and system logs
• Regular cleanup of marketing databases based on engagement levels
