Data Security
Protecting your financial information is our top priority. We implement multiple layers of security to safeguard data both in transit and at rest.
Technical Safeguards
Our platform uses industry-standard encryption for all data transmission and storage. Financial data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption, and all communications use TLS 1.3 protocols. We maintain regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

International Data Transfers
While elevonqarist primarily operates within Australia, some service providers may process data in other countries. When international transfers occur, we ensure adequate protection through appropriate safeguards.
Approved Countries
We only transfer data to countries with adequate privacy protections or through mechanisms approved under Australian privacy law. Current international processing occurs in New Zealand and Canada, both recognized as having substantially similar privacy frameworks to Australia.
