Public-layer data governance, retention, and compliance operations

This is not the final entity-specific legal opinion. It is the governance layer Corteran has already implemented in product and operations: collection points, processors, retention rules, incident handling, and AI-use boundaries. It closes the gap between having a privacy page and having a visible governance posture.

Collection flows

5

Key borrower, investor, and capital-partner collection paths are mapped to public notices and route boundaries.

Processors

4

Database, file storage, notification, and AI support layers are now visible in a governance register instead of only in code.

Retention rules

4

Active workflow data, consent history, controlled-disclosure evidence, and audit material all have explicit retention posture.

Response controls

3

Complaints intake, rollback visibility, and incident controls are aligned; the remaining gap is the formal external playbook.

Point-of-collection coverage

These are the public paths that already carry a collection notice or an explicit handling boundary.

Lead triage, borrower enquiry routing, and consent-aware follow-up.

Consent controls

3 rows

Borrower follow-up consent

live

Captured through contact and consent-center flows, with grant/revoke history in audit logs.

Investor diligence follow-up

Processor register

4 rows

Primary structured storage

Customer records, audit logs, tasks, and consent history are stored in the primary database layer.

Private object storage

Borrower ops

live

Borrower and diligence files are stored privately and referenced through controlled document workflows.

Email / notification processors

Ops automation

monitor

Ops notifications and diligence outreach rely on SMTP / mail-routing processors.

AI support tooling

Platform ops

live

AI is used for organisation and triage support with fallbacks and human-review boundaries.

Retention schedule

4 rows

Borrower precheck and upload records

Borrower ops

monitor

Retain while the borrower workflow is active and while dispute, compliance, or audit retention is still required.

Consent history

Compliance / ops

live

Keep grant and revoke history for auditability and preference handling.

Investor and partner access requests

IR / capital partnerships

monitor

Retain long enough to evidence controlled-disclosure handling and later complaints review.

Audit logs and release evidence

Platform ops

live

Retain for governance, dispute handling, release verification, and incident follow-up.

Incident response

3 rows

Incident triage and release rollback

Platform ops

live

Release state, rollback context, health status, and audit visibility now sit in admin settings.

Complaints intake path

Customer support

live

Public complaints page links concerns into contact, privacy, and dispute handling paths.

Regulator-ready breach playbook

Compliance

finish pass

Still needs formal outside-the-app playbook and escalation timing matrix.

AI governance

3 rows

AI usage disclosure

Product / ops

live

Borrower forms and privacy notice now explain that AI is used for triage support only.

Human review gate

Borrower ops

live

Manual review exit remains contract-driven and blocks release when posture is misaligned.

AI output traceability

Platform ops

monitor

AI routing and workflow outputs are tied back into stored case state and audit-aware processes.

What still needs external confirmation

The final legal entity, registered office, entity reference, and formal complaints inbox still require real-world entity facts before launch.
The external dispute body, AFCA, ombudsman, or regulator link must not be guessed. It should only be set once the controlling entity and jurisdiction are confirmed.
The regulator-ready breach playbook remains an outside-the-app deliverable. This page documents the in-app controls, not the full incident manual.

Make the governance visible before the entity details are final

The common launch failure is not that a page is missing. It is that the governance posture stays implicit. Corteran now exposes the parts that can be made real inside the product; the remaining blocker is external legal fact confirmation.
