Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2025
At lorenthavix, we're serious about protecting your information. This isn't just legal boilerplate—we actually care about how your data gets handled. We know that fundraising for startups means you're sharing sensitive business details, financial plans, and personal information with us. That's not something we take lightly.
This policy explains what we collect, why we need it, and what we do with it. If something doesn't make sense or you want more details, reach out. We're happy to walk you through it.
Information We Collect
When you work with us, we gather different types of information depending on how you're using our services. Some of it you give us directly. Other bits we collect automatically when you interact with our platform.
Information You Provide
This includes what you share when you sign up, fill out forms, or communicate with our team:
- Your name, email address, phone number, and business address
- Company information including business structure, registration details, and industry sector
- Financial data like revenue projections, funding history, and capital requirements
- Business plans, pitch decks, and supporting documentation
- Communications you send to us through email, forms, or during meetings
- Payment information when you engage our services
Information We Collect Automatically
When you visit our website or use our platform, we collect some technical information to help improve your experience:
- Device information including IP address, browser type, and operating system
- Usage data like pages visited, time spent, and navigation patterns
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies (you can control these in your browser)
- Log data that helps us troubleshoot technical issues
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for specific purposes related to helping you raise capital. We're not selling your data or using it for unrelated marketing.
| Purpose | Why We Need It |
|---|---|
| Service Delivery | To connect you with potential investors, prepare funding materials, and manage your fundraising campaign |
| Communication | To respond to your inquiries, provide updates, and share relevant opportunities |
| Platform Improvement | To understand how people use our services and identify areas for enhancement |
| Legal Compliance | To meet Australian financial regulations and corporate law requirements |
| Security | To detect fraud, prevent unauthorized access, and protect our users |
Sharing Your Information
We share your information with specific parties who help us deliver our services. But we're selective about it.
Important: We never sell your personal information to third parties. When we share data, it's only with trusted partners who need it to help you raise capital.
Who We Share With
- Potential Investors: With your explicit permission, we share your business information with investors who match your funding criteria. You control what gets shared and when.
- Professional Advisors: We work with lawyers, accountants, and financial consultants who may need access to your information to support your fundraising efforts.
- Service Providers: Companies that help us run our platform—like hosting providers, payment processors, and communication tools—have limited access to your data.
- Legal Authorities: If required by Australian law or to protect rights and safety, we may disclose information to government agencies or law enforcement.
Everyone we share data with is bound by confidentiality agreements. They can't use your information for their own purposes.
Your Rights Under Australian Privacy Law
The Australian Privacy Act gives you several rights regarding your personal information. Here's what you can do and how to do it:
Access Your Data
You can request a copy of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide it within 30 days, usually free of charge.
Correct Information
If something we have on file is wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it promptly.
Delete Your Data
You can ask us to delete your information, though we may need to keep some records for legal or regulatory reasons.
Restrict Processing
You can ask us to limit how we use your information while we resolve concerns you've raised.
Object to Use
If you don't want us to use your data for specific purposes, you can object. We'll stop unless we have compelling legitimate grounds.
Withdraw Consent
Where we're processing your data based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, send an email to info@lorenthavix.com with your request. We'll verify your identity and respond within the timeframes required by law.
How We Protect Your Information
Security matters a lot when you're dealing with business-sensitive information. We use multiple layers of protection:
- Encryption for data in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols
- Restricted access controls—only team members who need information to do their jobs can access it
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
- Secure data centers with physical access controls
- Staff training on data protection and confidentiality
- Incident response procedures in case something goes wrong
No system is completely foolproof, but we're committed to maintaining strong security practices. If we detect a breach that affects your information, we'll notify you as required under Australian law.
Data Retention
We keep your information for as long as you're working with us, plus whatever period Australian regulations require for financial records. That's usually seven years after your last interaction with us.
After that period, we securely delete or anonymize your data unless there's a legal reason to keep it longer—like an ongoing legal matter or regulatory investigation.
If you close your account or ask us to delete your information earlier, we'll do so within 90 days. Some records may be retained in backup systems for a limited additional period before permanent deletion.
International Data Transfers
Most of your data stays in Australia, stored in secure data centers within the country. However, some of our service providers operate internationally, which means your information might be transferred overseas.
When this happens, we make sure these transfers comply with Australian Privacy Principles. We use standard contractual clauses and ensure that overseas recipients provide adequate protection for your information.
Countries we may transfer data to include the United States (for cloud services) and the European Union (for certain software tools). All of these have appropriate safeguards in place.
