Data Usage & Tracking Policy

Last updated: March 2025

Understanding Our Tracking Technologies

At ivinaviora, we use various tracking technologies to enhance your budgeting experience and understand how families interact with our financial planning tools. This policy explains exactly what we track, why we collect this information, and how you can control your privacy settings.

When you visit ivinaviora.com, we automatically collect certain information through small data files and tracking pixels. This helps us remember your preferences, analyze which budgeting features work best for Australian families, and improve our service delivery across different devices.

How Tracking Technologies Function

Think of tracking technologies as digital breadcrumbs that help websites remember you and understand user behavior patterns. When you first visit our site, your browser receives small text files that store information like your preferred currency display or which budgeting categories you've customized.

These technologies work in the background while you create spending plans, track family expenses, or explore our budgeting calculators. We also use analytics tools to see which pages help families most with their financial planning, though this data is aggregated and doesn't identify individual users.

Essential Functionality

Required for basic site operations including user authentication, form submissions, and maintaining your session while navigating between budgeting tools. These cannot be disabled as they're necessary for the website to function properly.

Performance Analytics

Helps us understand which budgeting features Australian families find most useful, where users experience difficulties, and how we can improve loading speeds for better user experience across all devices.

Preference Storage

Remembers your customized settings like preferred budget categories, spending notification thresholds, and display preferences so you don't need to reconfigure these each time you visit.

Marketing Insights

Tracks which content resonates with families seeking budgeting advice, measures the effectiveness of our educational resources, and helps us create more relevant financial planning content.

Essential Cookies We Cannot Disable

Some tracking is absolutely necessary for ivinaviora.com to function securely. This includes session management (keeping you logged in), form processing (ensuring your budget data saves correctly), and security measures (protecting against fraud and unauthorized access).

These essential functions don't track your behavior for marketing purposes – they simply ensure the website works as expected when you're managing your family's financial information.

Managing Your Browser Settings

You have complete control over tracking technologies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block various types of tracking files. Here's how to access these controls in popular browsers used by our Australian users:

Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and site data
Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
Firefox: Preferences > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection
Edge: Settings > Site permissions > Cookies and site data
Mobile browsers: Look for Privacy or Security settings in your browser's menu

Keep in mind that blocking all tracking may affect certain features of our budgeting tools. For example, you might need to re-enter your preferred spending categories each visit, or some personalized recommendations may not appear.

Data Retention and Your Control

We retain tracking data for different periods depending on its purpose. Session data is deleted when you close your browser, while preference settings may be stored for up to two years to maintain your customized experience.

Analytics data is aggregated and typically retained for 26 months to help us understand long-term trends in how Australian families use budgeting tools. Marketing-related tracking data is generally kept for 13 months or until you opt out, whichever comes first.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Australian privacy legislation, you have the right to know what information we collect, request copies of your data, ask for corrections to inaccurate information, or request deletion of your personal information. You can also object to certain types of data processing or ask us to transfer your data to another service.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

When you allow our tracking technologies, we can provide a more personalized budgeting experience. For instance, if you frequently use our mortgage calculator, we might highlight related content about home loan management or property budgeting tips relevant to Australian markets.

We also use tracking data to optimize our educational content. If we notice many families struggle with a particular budgeting concept, we create additional guides and resources to address those challenges. This community-driven improvement approach helps all our users benefit from collective insights.

Third-Party Integration

Some features on ivinaviora.com integrate with trusted third-party services for enhanced functionality. This might include analytics providers that help us understand user behavior, or security services that protect against fraudulent activity. These partners have their own privacy policies and tracking practices, which we encourage you to review.
