Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 18 February 2025
At NeurinSensory, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our keyword research services and website.
We're committed to transparency about our data practices. If something here doesn't make sense or you have questions, reach out to us directly.
Information We Collect
We collect different types of information depending on how you use our services. Here's what that looks like in practice:
Information You Provide Directly
- Contact details when you reach out to us (name, email address, phone number)
- Account information if you register for our services (username, password, company name)
- Payment information when you purchase our keyword research tools (billing address, payment method details)
- Communication content when you send us messages or feedback
- Information you share in support requests or consultation bookings
Information We Collect Automatically
When you visit our website, certain information gets collected automatically through standard web technologies:
- Device information (IP address, browser type, operating system)
- Usage data (pages visited, time spent on site, click patterns)
- Technical data (screen resolution, device identifiers, error logs)
- Referral sources (how you found our website)
How We Use Your Information
We don't collect data just for the sake of it. Everything we gather serves a specific purpose related to providing and improving our keyword research services.
| Purpose | How We Use It |
|---|---|
| Service Delivery | Processing your keyword research requests, generating reports, and providing access to our tools and platform |
| Account Management | Creating and maintaining your account, handling authentication, and managing your subscription preferences |
| Payment Processing | Billing for services, processing transactions, and maintaining payment records for accounting purposes |
| Communication | Responding to inquiries, sending service updates, and providing customer support when you need help |
| Improvement | Analyzing usage patterns to enhance our tools, fix bugs, and develop new features based on actual user needs |
| Security | Protecting against fraud, unauthorized access, and other security threats to our systems and your data |
Legal Basis for Processing (Australian Privacy Act)
Under Australian privacy legislation, we process your personal information based on these legal grounds:
- Consent: When you've explicitly agreed to us collecting and using your information for specific purposes
- Contract Performance: When processing is necessary to deliver the services you've signed up for
- Legal Obligations: When we need to comply with Australian laws, tax requirements, or regulatory obligations
- Legitimate Interests: When processing helps us improve services, prevent fraud, or maintain security without overriding your privacy rights
We comply with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) outlined in the Privacy Act 1988, which governs how we handle personal information.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
We don't sell your personal information to anyone. That's not our business model and never will be.
However, we do share information with specific third parties who help us run our services:
Service Providers
- Payment Processors: To handle billing and payment transactions securely
- Cloud Hosting: To store data and run our keyword research platform
- Email Services: To send you communications and service notifications
- Analytics Tools: To understand how people use our website and identify areas for improvement
- Customer Support: To manage support tickets and respond to your questions
Important: All third-party providers are contractually required to protect your data and can only use it for the specific purposes we've outlined. We vet these partners carefully and only work with those who meet our security standards.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information when legally required to do so, such as:
- Complying with court orders, subpoenas, or legal processes
- Responding to lawful requests from Australian government authorities
- Protecting our legal rights or defending against legal claims
- Preventing fraud or investigating potential security threats
Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on secure servers located in Australia and, in some cases, with trusted international cloud providers who maintain data centers with high security standards.
Security Measures
We implement multiple layers of protection to keep your information safe:
- Encryption of data in transit using TLS/SSL protocols
- Encrypted storage for sensitive information at rest
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
- Access controls limiting who can view your data internally
- Secure authentication methods including password requirements
- Regular backups to prevent data loss
- Monitoring systems to detect unauthorized access attempts
While we take security seriously and use industry-standard practices, no system is completely impervious to threats. We can't guarantee absolute security but we work constantly to minimize risks.
International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers operate outside Australia, which means your information might be transferred to and processed in other countries.
When this happens, we ensure these transfers comply with Australian privacy laws by:
- Only using providers in countries with comparable privacy protections
- Implementing contractual safeguards that require overseas recipients to protect your data
- Ensuring appropriate security measures are in place regardless of location
You have the right to request information about where your data is stored and which countries it may be transferred to.
Data Retention
We keep your information for as long as necessary to provide our services and meet legal requirements. Here's roughly how long we retain different types of data:
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Account Information | Duration of active account plus 2 years after closure for legal and accounting purposes |
| Transaction Records | 7 years as required by Australian taxation laws |
| Communication Logs | 3 years for quality assurance and dispute resolution |
| Usage Analytics | 18 months in identifiable form, then aggregated anonymously |
| Marketing Preferences | Until you withdraw consent or close your account |
| Technical Logs | 90 days for security and troubleshooting purposes |
When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it so it can't be traced back to you.
Your Privacy Rights
Under Australian privacy law, you have several rights regarding your personal information. Here's what you can do and how to exercise these rights:
Access Your Information
You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this within 30 days of your request in a commonly used format.
Correct Inaccurate Data
If information we hold about you is wrong or outdated, you can ask us to correct it. We'll update our records promptly and notify any third parties we've shared the information with.
Request Deletion
You can ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances:
- When it's no longer needed for the purposes we collected it
- When you withdraw consent and we have no other legal basis for processing
- When you object to processing and we have no overriding legitimate grounds
- When the information has been unlawfully processed
Note that we may need to retain some information to comply with legal obligations or resolve disputes.
Object to Processing
You can object to how we use your information for:
- Marketing purposes (we'll stop immediately)
- Legitimate interest purposes (we'll stop unless we have compelling grounds)
Data Portability
Where technically feasible, you can request your data in a structured, machine-readable format to transfer to another service provider.
Withdraw Consent
If we're processing your data based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time. This won't affect the lawfulness of processing before you withdrew consent.
How to Exercise Your Rights: Send your request to support@neurinsensory.com with "Privacy Request" in the subject line. We'll verify your identity and respond within 30 days. There's no fee for most requests unless they're excessive or repetitive.
