Understanding how zoviantha.world uses tracking technologies to enhance your experience
Your Current Settings
Tracking preferences are currently active on this site.
At zoviantha, we believe you should know exactly what data we collect and why. This page explains how we use various tracking technologies on zoviantha.world to provide you with a better budgeting experience.
Tracking technologies help us remember your preferences, understand how you use our tools, and improve our service. But you're in control. You can accept these tools or reject non-essential ones at any time.
What Are Tracking Technologies?
When you visit zoviantha.world, small data files are stored on your device. These files help our website remember information about your visit. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help us provide a smoother experience each time you return.
We use several types of tracking methods. Some are necessary for the site to work at all. Others help us understand what features you find most useful so we can make informed improvements.
Essential Functions
These keep our budgeting platform operational. Without them, basic features wouldn't work properly. You can't disable these because they're critical to site functionality.
Performance Tracking
These help us see which features get used most and where people run into trouble. We use this data to identify slow pages and fix problems before they affect more users.
Preference Storage
These remember your choices so you don't have to set everything up each visit. Things like your dashboard layout, currency settings, and notification preferences get saved here.
Analytics Collection
We collect anonymous data about how people interact with our expense tracking tools. This helps us understand what works well and what needs improvement. All data is aggregated and anonymized.
How We Use Tracking Data
The information we collect serves specific purposes that directly benefit your experience with zoviantha's budgeting platform.
Remembering Your Settings
When you customize your budget categories or set up recurring expense alerts, we store those preferences so they're ready the next time you log in. You won't need to rebuild your setup from scratch with each visit.
Improving Load Times
By tracking which resources take longest to load, we can optimize our code and server configuration. This means faster dashboard loading and smoother navigation between your expense reports.
Understanding Feature Usage
We monitor which budgeting tools get used most often and which ones rarely get touched. This helps us decide where to focus development efforts and which features might need better explanations or redesigns.
Identifying Technical Issues
When something breaks, tracking data helps us see exactly where the problem occurred and how many users it affected. This allows us to prioritize fixes and prevent similar issues in the future.
Personalizing Recommendations
Based on how you use zoviantha's expense tracking features, we can suggest budgeting strategies that might help you reach your financial goals more effectively. These suggestions are generated from patterns in how successful budgeters use our platform.
Managing Your Preferences
You have several ways to control tracking on zoviantha.world. The easiest method is using the button at the top of this page to reject all non-essential tracking immediately.
Browser-Level Controls
Your web browser also gives you control over tracking technologies. Most modern browsers let you block, delete, or manage stored data through their settings menus. Here's where to find these controls in popular browsers:
Keep in mind that blocking all tracking may affect how zoviantha.world functions. Essential features like login sessions and form submissions require certain technologies to work properly.
Data Retention and Storage
How Long We Keep Your Data
Different types of tracking data have different lifespans on your device and our servers. Session-based information typically expires when you close your browser or log out of your account.
Preference data stays on your device until you clear it manually or reject tracking through this page. Analytics data gets anonymized within 48 hours and aggregated reports are retained for two years to help us identify long-term trends.
Essential security data is kept for 90 days to help us identify and prevent fraudulent activity. After that period, it's automatically purged from our systems.
Where Data Is Stored
Your tracking data is stored in two places: locally on your device and on zoviantha's secure servers located in Canadian data centers. Local storage allows for faster performance, while server-side storage enables features that work across multiple devices.
All server-side data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. We follow industry-standard security practices and comply with Canadian privacy regulations including PIPEDA requirements.
Third-Party Services
zoviantha uses a limited number of third-party services that may place their own tracking technologies on your device. These services help us provide analytics, prevent fraud, and maintain site performance.
When you reject non-essential tracking on this page, we signal to these third parties that you've opted out of their data collection. However, some services may still use essential tracking for security purposes.
We carefully vet all third-party services to ensure they meet our privacy standards. Any service that collects user data must demonstrate compliance with Canadian privacy laws and provide clear opt-out mechanisms.
