Cookie and Data Usage Policy

What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small data files that websites place on your device to remember information about your visit. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites recognize you when you return. At shadivonex, we use various tracking technologies including cookies, web beacons, and local storage to make your financial planning experience more personalized and effective.

These technologies work behind the scenes while you navigate our platform. When you visit shadivonex.com, our systems automatically collect certain information about how you interact with our financial tools and resources. This isn't about invading your privacy—it's about creating a smoother, more tailored experience that helps you achieve your financial goals more efficiently.

Types of Tracking We Use

Different types of cookies serve different purposes on our platform. Here's how we categorize the tracking technologies used on shadivonex:

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

The data we collect through tracking technologies directly improves your financial planning experience in several specific ways:

• Your financial goals and progress are automatically saved between sessions, so you never lose your work
• The platform remembers your risk tolerance settings and investment preferences
• We can suggest relevant financial education content based on your current planning stage
• Your dashboard layout and tool preferences persist across devices when you log in
• We can identify and fix technical issues that might interfere with your financial planning
• Security features can detect unusual account activity and protect your financial information
• Performance optimizations ensure our calculators and planning tools load quickly for you

For example, if you're working on a retirement planning goal, our analytics help us understand which tools and resources are most valuable at different stages of retirement planning. This insight allows us to improve the user flow and provide more targeted educational content.

Data Retention and Storage

We keep different types of data for different periods, always balancing functionality with privacy protection. Essential cookies typically last for your browser session or up to one year, depending on their purpose. Analytics data is generally retained for 24 months to help us identify long-term usage patterns and improvements.

Marketing cookies usually expire within 6-12 months, though some may persist longer if needed for ongoing campaigns. We regularly review and purge old data that's no longer necessary for providing our services or improving your experience.

Managing Your Tracking Preferences

You have several options for controlling how tracking technologies work on your visits to shadivonex. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent.

Browser Controls

Every major browser provides cookie management tools. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, you can access these through the privacy or security settings. You can choose to block all cookies, allow only first-party cookies, or review and approve cookies on a case-by-case basis.

Keep in mind that disabling certain cookies may limit your ability to use some features of our platform. Essential cookies, for instance, are necessary for basic account functionality and secure access to your financial information.

Account-Level Controls

When you're logged into your shadivonex account, you can adjust many tracking preferences through your account settings. This includes opting out of marketing cookies while maintaining the functional cookies that enhance your financial planning experience.

Third-Party Services

shadivonex integrates with select third-party services to provide comprehensive financial planning tools. These may include analytics providers, educational content partners, and security services. Each of these services may use their own tracking technologies, subject to their respective privacy policies.

We carefully vet all third-party integrations to ensure they meet our standards for data protection and user privacy. However, we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through our platform.

Updates to This Policy

As we continue to improve shadivonex and add new features, we may need to update this Cookie Policy. We'll notify users of significant changes through email or prominent notices on our platform. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy reflects when the most recent changes were made.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially if you have questions about how your data is being used or if you want to adjust your tracking preferences.
