This privacy policy (Policy) sets out how Nuvento Pty Ltd (ACN 632 590 759) (we, our, us) collects and treats your personal information. Nuvento is an Australian AI and data intelligence company based in Canberra, ACT. We develop and deliver intelligent platforms and solutions for government and enterprise customers.
We respect your right to privacy, are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our customers and comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
By providing us with personal information, you consent to the terms of this Policy and the types of disclosure covered by this Policy. Where we disclose your personal information to third parties, we will request that the third party follow this Policy regarding handling your personal information.
This Policy has been updated to reflect guidance issued by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) in October 2024 regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) tools.
Personal information is any information or an opinion about an identified individual or an individual who can be reasonably identified from the information or opinion. Information or an opinion may be personal information regardless of whether it is true.
This includes information generated or inferred by AI systems, such as profiles, predictions, scores or images derived from your data.
The types of personal information we collect depends on the nature of our engagement with you. Examples of personal information we may collect include, but are not limited to:
We may collect additional information at other times, including when you apply for employment, provide feedback, when you provide information about your personal, employment or business affairs, change your content or email preference, respond to surveys and/or promotions or provide financial or credit card information.
We collect, hold and use your personal information so that we can:
If you do not provide us with your personal information, we may not be able to provide you with our products or services, communicate with you or respond to your enquiries.
We collect personal information from you in a variety of ways, including:

Nuvento builds and operates AI-powered data intelligence platforms. AI and generative AI are core components of our products and services, including platforms for open-source intelligence, case management, and digital content optimisation. As both a developer and user of AI systems, we are subject to privacy obligations in relation to personal information that is collected, stored, used, disclosed, generated or inferred in connection with our AI products.
We may use commercially available or proprietary AI and GenAI tools in the operation of our business and products. These tools may process personal information to:
When using AI tools, we are committed to the following safeguards:
Some of our products may use automated processes or AI-assisted decision-making. Where a decision made about you relies solely or substantially on automated processing and produces a significant effect, we will:
Our products are designed to support human decision-making rather than replace it. Customers deploying our platforms for their own operations are responsible for ensuring their use of AI-assisted decision-making complies with applicable privacy obligations.
We will not use your personal information to train external AI models without your express, informed consent. Where we develop or fine-tune proprietary AI models using internal data, we take steps to de-identify or anonymise personal information before it is used for model training purposes, to the extent reasonably practicable.
We store most personal information about you in computer systems and databases operated by either us or our external service providers. We implement and maintain processes and security measures designed to protect personal information we hold from misuse, interference, or loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. These processes and systems include:
We will also take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify personal information once we no longer require it for the purposes for which it was collected or for any secondary purpose permitted under the APPs.
We may disclose personal information for the purposes described in this Policy to:
We may also disclose personal information where (i) we are required or authorised by law to do so; (ii) you have expressly consented to the disclosure, or the consent may be reasonably inferred from the circumstances; or (iii) we are otherwise permitted to disclose the information under the Privacy Act.
We may disclose your personal information to recipients which are located outside Australia. Those recipients are likely to be in the United States of America.
Some AI tools and platforms we use may process or store data on servers located overseas, including in the United States. Before disclosing personal information to overseas recipients, we take reasonable steps to ensure those recipients handle information consistently with the APPs, or we obtain your consent to the overseas disclosure.
We will use your personal information to offer you products and services we believe may interest you, but we will not do so if you tell us not to. Where you receive electronic marketing communications from us, you may opt out of receiving further marketing communications by following the opt-out instructions provided in the communication.
We do not use automated profiling or AI-driven targeting for marketing purposes without your consent.
You may access or request correction of the personal information that we hold about you by contacting us. There is no charge for requesting access to your personal information, but we may require you to meet our reasonable costs in providing you with access.
We will respond to your requests to access or correct personal information in a reasonable time and will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we hold about you remains accurate and up to date.
If you wish to access personal information held about you in any AI-generated profile, prediction or score, or to request correction of inaccurate AI-inferred information, you may exercise your access and correction rights by contacting us at the details below.
If you have a complaint about the way in which we have handled any privacy issue, including your request for access or correction of your personal information, you should contact us. We will consider your complaint and determine whether it requires further investigation. We will notify you of the outcome of this investigation and any subsequent internal investigation.
If you are not satisfied we have handled a privacy issue, you may approach an independent advisor or contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (www.oaic.gov.au) for guidance on alternative courses of action which may be available.
