Cookie & Data Usage Policy

What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies

When you visit kerynthavilo.com, we use various tracking technologies to make your experience smoother and more personalized. Think of cookies as small digital notes that help our website remember your preferences – like whether you prefer viewing your budget in weekly or monthly views, or which financial categories you use most often.

These technologies aren't just cookies anymore. We also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage to understand how people interact with our budgeting tools. This helps us figure out which features are most helpful and where we might need to make improvements.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Here's something I find interesting about modern websites – the data we collect actually makes budgeting easier for most people. When you set up your first budget categories, our system learns what's important to you. Maybe you're focused on reducing dining out expenses, or perhaps you're saving for a house deposit. The tracking helps us surface relevant tips and tools.

For instance, if our analytics show that you frequently check your entertainment budget on Sunday evenings, we might send you a gentle reminder about upcoming streaming service renewals. Or if you often access the debt payoff calculator, we'll make sure those tools are easily accessible from your dashboard.

Personalization That Actually Helps

The goal isn't to bombard you with unnecessary information. Instead, we use tracking data to streamline your experience. When you return to kerynthavilo, you'll see your most-used features prominently displayed, your preferred currency format already selected, and budget categories arranged the way you like them.

Data Retention and Your Control

We don't keep tracking data forever – that wouldn't be practical or necessary. Different types of information have different lifespans, depending on their purpose and legal requirements in Australia.

Your Rights and Choices

Living in Australia means you have strong privacy rights, and we take those seriously. You can request to see what data we've collected about you, ask us to delete specific information, or opt out of certain types of tracking entirely.

If you decide to disable all non-essential tracking, kerynthavilo will still work perfectly fine for budgeting and financial planning. You might miss out on some convenience features like personalized dashboard layouts, but all the core functionality remains available.

Third-Party Services and Integration

kerynthavilo integrates with several third-party services to provide better functionality – things like secure payment processing for premium features, email delivery services, and analytics platforms. Each of these partners has their own privacy policies and data practices.

We're selective about which services we integrate with, prioritizing partners who share our commitment to user privacy and data security. Before adding any new third-party service, we review their privacy practices to ensure they meet our standards.

International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers operate servers outside Australia. When this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information according to Australian privacy laws. This might include contractual protections or certification under recognized international frameworks.
