Data Retention & Deletion
We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our educational services and meet legal obligations. Here's how long we typically retain different types of information:

International Data Transfers
While penuraviax operates primarily within Australia, some of our technology partners and service providers may store or process data outside Australia. When this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your privacy.
Safeguards for International Transfers

Children's Privacy
Our banking education services are designed for adults and young people who are making decisions about their financial future. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age.
Parental Consent for Minors
For users between 13 and 18 years old, we recommend parental involvement in educational decisions. Parents can contact us to discuss their child's participation in our programs and exercise privacy rights on their behalf where legally appropriate.
If We Discover Under-Age Users
If we learn that we've collected information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we'll delete that information promptly. Parents who believe their child has provided personal information to us can contact our privacy team for assistance.
