dareqilora respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website dareqilora.com, engage with our franchising education services, or interact with us in any capacity. We operate in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and other applicable Australian privacy legislation.

By using our services or providing us with your personal information, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use our services or provide us with your personal information.

Information We Collect

Personal Information You Provide

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register for our franchising education programs, contact us for information, subscribe to our newsletters, or engage with our services. This information may include:

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain technical information about your device and browsing patterns. This includes IP addresses, browser type and version, operating system details, referring website URLs, pages visited, time spent on pages, and general geographic location based on IP address. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience and analyze website performance.

How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information for legitimate business purposes related to providing franchising education and support services. Our primary uses include delivering educational content, processing program applications, providing customer support, and maintaining ongoing communication about relevant opportunities.

We also use your information for administrative purposes including maintaining accurate records, processing payments, scheduling appointments, and ensuring compliance with educational standards. Marketing communications are sent only with your consent and include information about new programs, industry insights, and relevant franchising opportunities that align with your expressed interests.

Additionally, we analyze aggregated data to improve our services, develop new educational content, understand market trends, and enhance user experience across our platforms. This analysis helps us better serve the Australian franchising community and maintain high educational standards.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

dareqilora does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share your information in specific circumstances that support our educational mission or fulfill legal obligations.

Service Providers and Educational Partners

We work with trusted service providers who assist in delivering our educational programs. This includes technology platforms for online learning, payment processors, email service providers, and educational consultants. These partners are contractually required to protect your information and use it only for specified purposes.

Legal Requirements and Business Transfers

We may disclose your information when required by Australian law, regulation, or legal process, including responding to court orders, subpoenas, or regulatory investigations. In the event of a business sale, merger, or acquisition, your information may be transferred as part of business assets, with equivalent privacy protection maintained.

Your Rights and Choices

Under Australian privacy law, you have several rights regarding your personal information. We're committed to facilitating these rights and responding promptly to your requests.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details provided below. We'll respond within 30 days and may require identity verification to protect your information security. Some requests may be limited by legal requirements or legitimate business needs.

Data Security and Protection

We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security framework includes both technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of information we handle.

Technical Safeguards

Our technical security includes encrypted data transmission, secure server infrastructure, regular security updates, access controls with authentication requirements, and monitoring systems that detect potential security threats. We use industry-standard encryption protocols for sensitive information and maintain secure backup systems.

Organizational Measures

Staff access to personal information is restricted based on role requirements, with regular privacy training provided to all team members. We maintain incident response procedures, conduct regular security assessments, and review our practices to ensure ongoing effectiveness against evolving threats.

While we implement strong security measures, no system is completely secure. We encourage you to protect your own information by using strong passwords, keeping login details confidential, and promptly reporting any suspected security concerns.

Data Retention and Disposal

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Retention periods vary based on information type and regulatory requirements relevant to educational services.

When information is no longer required, we securely dispose of it using appropriate methods including secure deletion of electronic records and destruction of physical documents. Some information may be retained in anonymized form for statistical and research purposes that benefit the broader franchising education community.

International Data Transfers

Your personal information is primarily stored and processed within Australia. However, some of our service providers and technology platforms may be located overseas, particularly in countries with strong privacy protections such as the United States and European Union member states.

When we transfer information internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place through contractual agreements, privacy shield frameworks, or transfers to countries with adequate privacy protections as recognized by Australian law. We maintain the same level of privacy protection regardless of where your information is processed.
