Types of Tracking We Use

We're particularly careful with how we track student progress. Our analytics help us identify when students might be struggling with specific financial concepts, allowing us to improve our explanations and provide additional resources.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

The data we collect directly improves your educational journey. When students consistently pause at certain points in our investment basics module, we know to add more detailed explanations or visual aids to those sections.

Your browsing patterns help us suggest relevant courses. If you spend significant time in our debt management resources, we might recommend our advanced budgeting strategies course or connect you with complementary materials about credit improvement.

• Personalised course recommendations based on your learning history
• Progress tracking across multiple devices so you never lose your place
• Adaptive content delivery that adjusts to your learning pace
• Email reminders for courses you've started but not completed
• Custom resource suggestions aligned with your financial goals

Data Retention and Your Control

We retain different types of data for varying periods. Essential login cookies expire after your session ends, while your course progress data remains stored for up to two years to support your ongoing education journey.

Analytics data is anonymised after six months and aggregated for educational improvement purposes. We never sell personal tracking data to third parties, and all data collection serves our core mission of providing excellent financial education.

We also provide granular control through your student account settings. You can choose which types of tracking to allow while maintaining access to our core educational content and progress tracking features.

Third-Party Services and Integration

Some of our educational tools integrate with trusted third-party services to enhance your learning experience. These might include video hosting for our webinar content, interactive calculators for financial planning exercises, or progress tracking systems.

We carefully vet all third-party providers to ensure they meet our privacy standards. Any external service that processes your data operates under strict agreements that protect your information and limit how it can be used.

• Video platform cookies for webinar attendance and progress tracking
• Analytics services that help us understand content effectiveness
• Communication tools for student support and course updates
• Security services that protect your account and personal information

Updates and Communication

We review and update our cookie practices regularly to ensure they continue serving your educational needs while protecting your privacy. When we make significant changes to how we collect or use data, we'll notify you through your registered email address.

Our commitment is to transparency in all our data practices. If you have questions about specific tracking technologies or want to understand how certain features work, our support team can provide detailed explanations tailored to your concerns.

This policy reflects our practices as of February 2025. We encourage you to review it periodically, especially before enrolling in new courses or using additional features of our platform.
