Last Updated: March 15, 2025
How We Track Your Journey
When you visit pointedwebapp.com, we collect information about how you interact with our budgeting tools and educational resources. This data helps us understand which features of activity-based budgeting resonate most with Philippine businesses and individuals managing their finances.
Session Tracking
We monitor how you navigate through budget templates, learning modules, and planning tools to identify areas for improvement.
Feature Usage
Your interactions with calculators, expense categorization tools, and reporting features help us refine our platform.
This tracking happens automatically through small data files and scripts that run when you access our website. Most users don't notice these processes, but they're working behind the scenes to personalize your budgeting experience.
Decline All Non-Essential Cookies
You can opt out of all tracking cookies while still accessing our core budgeting tools and educational content. Essential cookies for site functionality will remain active.
Types of Data Collection
Essential Functionality
Required for login sessions, form submissions, and basic site operations. These cannot be disabled as they're necessary for the platform to function properly.
Analytics & Insights
Tracks page views, time spent on budgeting tutorials, and popular features to help us improve our educational content and tools.
Performance Optimization
Monitors loading times, error rates, and user flow patterns to ensure our budgeting calculators and reports work smoothly across different devices.
Personalization Features
Remembers your preferred currency settings, budget categories, and dashboard layout to create a more tailored experience for Philippine users.
Managing Your Browser Settings
Beyond our opt-out button, you can control tracking through your browser's privacy settings. Each browser handles cookies differently, so here are specific instructions for popular options:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might affect certain features of our budgeting platform, like saving your progress through financial planning modules or remembering your preferred reporting formats.
Data Retention and Your Control
We typically keep analytical data for 24 months to identify trends in how Philippine users approach activity-based budgeting. However, you can request deletion of your specific data at any time.
Your tracking preferences are stored locally on your device and respected across all visits to pointedwebapp.com. If you clear your browser data completely, you'll need to set your cookie preferences again during your next visit.
For users who want more granular control, we're planning to introduce a detailed preference center in late 2025 that will let you choose specific types of tracking to allow or block.
