What Information We Collect

When you visit cavoralithos.org, our systems automatically collect certain technical information to ensure our budget planning platform functions smoothly. This includes your browser type, device information, IP address, and how you navigate through our financial planning tools.

We also collect information when you interact with specific features like saving budget templates, setting financial goals, or downloading planning resources. This helps us understand which tools provide the most value for people managing their finances in Malaysia and similar markets.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

The data we collect directly improves your budget planning experience. For instance, when you frequently use certain expense categories, our system learns to prioritize those options in your dashboard. If you typically plan budgets monthly rather than weekly, we'll adjust the default calendar view accordingly.

Analytics cookies help us identify when users struggle with particular features. In 2024, we discovered that many people found our savings goal calculator confusing, so we redesigned it based on actual usage patterns rather than assumptions. This kind of insight only comes from understanding how real users interact with our tools.

Marketing cookies ensure you see relevant educational content about financial planning topics that match your interests. Instead of generic financial advice, you might see articles about budget strategies for families, investment planning for young professionals, or debt management techniques - depending on which areas you've explored on our platform.

Data Retention and Storage

Different types of data have different retention periods based on their purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies for preferences typically last 12 months. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized after 6 months, meaning we can still improve our services without maintaining personal identifiers.

Marketing cookies from third parties follow their respective retention schedules, usually ranging from 30 days to 2 years. You can review and delete these through your browser settings or the preference management options we provide. Account-related data for registered users follows separate retention policies outlined in our main privacy policy.

Third-Party Data Sharing

We work with carefully selected partners to provide analytics insights and deliver relevant content. Google Analytics helps us understand user behavior patterns, while social media platforms enable us to show educational financial content to people who might benefit from our budget planning tools.

These partnerships are governed by strict data processing agreements that limit how third parties can use information collected through our platform. We never sell personal data or allow unrestricted access to user information. Any data sharing serves specific purposes like improving our services or providing relevant educational resources.
