Data Sharing and Third Parties
We maintain strict control over your information and share data only when necessary for service delivery or legal compliance. Our approach prioritizes your privacy while enabling the partnerships essential for comprehensive financial analysis.
Limited Third-Party Access
We work with selected technology providers for hosting, analytics, and communication tools. These partners operate under strict data processing agreements that mirror our privacy commitments. They cannot use your information for their own purposes or share it with additional parties.

We never sell personal information to marketing companies, data brokers, or other commercial entities. Information sharing occurs only for legitimate business purposes that directly support your service experience or meet legal obligations.

We evaluate all international data transfers against Australian privacy standards and ensure receiving countries provide substantially similar privacy protections. You have the right to know about international transfers affecting your data and can request additional information about specific transfer arrangements.
