Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 15 January 2026
At orinqualmira, we're serious about protecting your information. This isn't one of those policies that's deliberately confusing or uses legal jargon to hide what's actually happening with your data.
We work with Australian venture builders and startup founders who trust us with sensitive business information. That trust matters to us. This policy explains exactly what we collect, why we need it, and what we do with it.
This policy complies with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and applies to all personal information we collect through orinqualmira.com and our venture building services.
Information We Collect
What You Directly Provide
When you reach out to us or sign up for our programs, you share certain details with us. Here's what that typically includes:
- Your name, email address, and phone number when you contact us
- Business information you provide during initial consultations
- Project details and venture ideas you share during our programs
- Payment information when enrolling in learning programs
- Professional background and experience details
- Feedback and communications you send to our team
Information We Collect Automatically
Like most websites, we collect some technical information when you visit our site. This helps us understand how people use orinqualmira.com and where we can improve:
- Your IP address and general location (city level, not your exact address)
- Browser type and device information
- Pages you visit on our site and how long you stay
- Referring websites that brought you to us
- Time and date of your visits
| Data Type | Collection Method | Primary Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Contact Information | Direct submission via forms | Communication and program enrollment |
| Business Details | Consultation sessions and applications | Customizing venture building support |
| Usage Analytics | Website cookies and tracking | Site improvement and user experience |
| Payment Data | Secure payment processors | Processing program enrollments |
How We Use Your Information
We're not in the business of selling data or bombarding you with irrelevant marketing. Your information serves specific purposes related to our venture building services:
Program Delivery and Support
Most of what we collect goes toward actually helping you build something meaningful. We use your information to provide our learning programs, connect you with the right resources, and support your venture development journey.
Communication
We'll email you about program updates, event invitations, and relevant opportunities in the Australian venture ecosystem. You can opt out of promotional emails anytime, though we'll still need to send important information about programs you're enrolled in.
Important: We never sell your personal information to third parties. That's not our business model and never will be.
- Responding to your inquiries and providing customer support
- Processing enrollments and managing program access
- Sending relevant updates about events and opportunities
- Improving our website and program offerings based on usage patterns
- Ensuring security and preventing fraud
- Complying with legal obligations under Australian law
Data Sharing and Third Parties
Running a venture building platform means working with certain service providers. We're careful about who gets access to your information and why.
Service Providers We Work With
These are companies that help us deliver our services. They only get the minimum information needed to do their job:
- Payment processors for handling enrollment fees securely
- Email service providers for program communications
- Cloud hosting services for website and data storage
- Analytics tools to understand site usage patterns
- Customer support platforms for managing inquiries
All these providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and can't use it for their own purposes.
Legal Requirements
Sometimes we're legally required to share information. This happens when we receive a valid court order or need to comply with Australian regulations. We'll always review such requests carefully and only provide what's legally required.
Business Transfers
If orinqualmira is acquired or merges with another company, your information would be part of that transfer. We'd notify you beforehand and you'd have options about how your data is handled going forward.
Data Storage and Security
We store your information on secure servers located in Australia, with some backup systems in reputable international data centers that comply with Australian privacy standards.
Security Measures
Look, no system is completely bulletproof. But we take security seriously and use industry-standard protections:
- Encrypted data transmission using SSL/TLS protocols
- Secure, encrypted databases with restricted access
- Regular security audits and system updates
- Staff training on data protection practices
- Limited access to personal information on a need-to-know basis
- Secure authentication systems for account access
Data Retention Periods
We keep your information only as long as necessary. Here's what that means in practice:
| Information Type | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Program enrollment records | 7 years after completion | Tax and regulatory requirements |
| General inquiry information | 2 years from last contact | Relationship management |
| Marketing communications data | Until you unsubscribe | Ongoing communication preferences |
| Website analytics | 26 months | Usage pattern analysis |
After these periods, we securely delete or anonymize your information so it can't be traced back to you.
Your Rights Under Australian Privacy Law
The Australian Privacy Principles give you specific rights over your personal information. We respect these rights and have processes in place to honor them.

Children's Privacy

International Data Transfers
While we primarily operate in Australia and store data locally, some of our service providers use servers in other countries. When your information is transferred internationally, we ensure these transfers comply with Australian privacy law.
We only work with providers in countries with adequate privacy protections or who have contractually committed to protecting your information to Australian standards.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you by email or through a prominent notice on our website.

Your continued use of our services after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy. If you disagree with changes, you can close your account and stop using our services.
