Personal Information: When you register for our courses, create an account, or contact us, we collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, and postal address. We also collect payment information when you enroll in our programs, though this is processed securely through third-party payment processors.

How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect primarily to deliver our financial education services and support your learning journey. Your data helps us personalize your experience, track your progress, and provide relevant course recommendations.
Course delivery and administration represent our primary use of personal information. We track your progress through modules, remember where you left off, and provide certificates upon completion. This requires us to maintain records of your enrollment status, completion dates, and assessment results.
Communication Purposes: We use your contact information to send course updates, important announcements about our services, and respond to your inquiries. You can opt out of promotional communications while still receiving essential service-related messages.

- Processing payments and managing subscriptions
- Sending course updates and educational content
- Improving our services through usage analysis
- Providing customer support and technical assistance
- Conducting research to enhance our educational offerings
We analyze usage patterns to understand how learners interact with our content. This helps us identify which topics need more explanation, where students commonly struggle, and which teaching methods work best. All analysis is conducted in ways that protect individual privacy.
For security purposes, we monitor access to accounts and flag unusual activity that might indicate unauthorized use. This protective monitoring helps keep your personal information and progress records secure.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
meridoxavon does not sell your personal information to third parties. We share information only in specific circumstances necessary for providing our services or as required by law. Our approach prioritizes your privacy while enabling us to deliver quality financial education.
We work with trusted service providers who help us operate our platform. These include payment processors, email service providers, hosting companies, and analytics tools. All third parties are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the specific services they provide to us.
Legal Requirements: Under Australian law, we may be required to disclose information in response to valid legal processes, court orders, or regulatory investigations. We will notify you of such requests unless legally prohibited from doing so.

We may share aggregated, non-personal information about our user base with partners or in public reports. This statistical information cannot be used to identify individual users and helps demonstrate the impact of financial education in Australia.
Data Security and Protection
Protecting your personal information is a fundamental responsibility we take seriously. We implement multiple layers of security measures to safeguard data both in transit and at rest. Our security practices follow industry standards and are regularly reviewed and updated.
All data transmission between your device and our servers uses SSL/TLS encryption. This ensures that information you submit through our website cannot be intercepted by unauthorized parties. Our servers are hosted in secure data centers with physical access controls and 24/7 monitoring.
Access Controls: We limit access to personal information to employees and contractors who need it to perform their job functions. All personnel with data access undergo background checks and receive regular privacy and security training.
- SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmission
- Secure cloud hosting with physical access controls
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
- Employee access controls and security training
- Automated backup systems with encryption at rest
- Incident response procedures for potential security breaches
Despite our security measures, no system is completely immune to threats. If we discover a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you promptly and provide details about what information was involved and what steps we're taking in response.
You can help protect your account by choosing a strong password, keeping your login credentials confidential, and logging out of your account when using shared computers. Contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

Parents who wish to review, modify, or delete their teen's information can contact us at any time. We will verify parental identity before making any changes to protect both the parent's and teen's privacy.
