Payment providers
Where purchases are processed through a third-party payment provider, such as PayPal or another payment platform, payment details may be processed directly by that provider.
NixSec does not need to receive or store your full credit card or banking details where payment is handled entirely through a third-party payment processor.
Those providers operate under their own privacy policies and security practices.
Service providers
NixSec may use third-party services to operate the business and website.
These may include:
- Website hosting providers
- Cloud infrastructure providers
- Code and file hosting platforms
- Email providers
- Payment processors

- Analytics or security tools
Personal information is only shared where reasonably necessary to provide the relevant service, process a transaction, comply with legal obligations or protect the security of NixSec and its users.
Synthetic data and personal information
NixSec produces synthetic data products designed to contain generated records rather than real personal records.
Our synthetic healthcare datasets do not intentionally contain real patient identities, real patient records, scraped personal information or identifiable clinical records.
Synthetic data is created for purposes such as analytics, research, education, AI development, testing and prototyping.
Data retention and security
NixSec takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorised access, misuse, loss, disclosure or alteration.
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably required for business, contractual, support, legal, tax or regulatory purposes.
No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. However, we aim to minimise the amount of personal information collected and use appropriate services and practices to protect information under our control.
Cookies and analytics
The NixSec website may use essential browser or hosting technologies required for normal website operation.
If analytics, tracking or additional cookies are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect those services.
Access and correction
You may contact NixSec if you want to ask what personal information we hold about you, request that incorrect information be corrected, or raise a privacy concern.
Where legally required and reasonably practicable, we will respond to requests relating to personal information we hold.
Australian privacy principles
NixSec is an Australian business and aims to handle personal information responsibly and transparently.
Where applicable, our handling of personal information will be informed by relevant Australian privacy requirements, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Nothing in this policy is intended to create obligations beyond those that apply to NixSec under relevant law.
