Cookie & Data Usage Policy

At novarelythiq, we believe in complete transparency about how we collect and use information on our website. This policy explains the tracking technologies we use and gives you control over your data preferences.

1 What Are Tracking Technologies?

Tracking technologies are small data files and scripts that help websites function properly and understand how visitors interact with their content. Think of them as helpful assistants that remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience.

On novarelythiq.org, we use several types of tracking technologies including cookies, web beacons, local storage, and analytics scripts. Each serves a specific purpose in making our financial education platform more useful and personalized for your learning journey.

These technologies work behind the scenes while you explore our resources, helping us understand which topics are most valuable to our Australian audience and how we can improve our decision-making education programs.

3 Your Rights and Choices

As someone interested in financial education, you probably appreciate having control over your decisions – and that includes your data. You can request to see what information we've collected, ask us to delete it, or update any details that have changed.

If you're located in Australia, you have specific rights under the Privacy Act 1988. You can access your personal information, correct any inaccuracies, and in some cases, request deletion of data we no longer need for educational purposes.

We also respect browser signals like "Do Not Track" requests, though we want to be honest that some functionality might be limited if you choose very restrictive settings. Our educational content will still be available, but features like progress tracking won't work as smoothly.

4 Third-Party Services

Some of our educational tools and analytics come from trusted third-party providers. For instance, we might use specialized platforms for delivering interactive financial calculators or measuring how effectively our content helps people understand complex topics.

These partners have their own privacy policies, and while we choose them carefully, we encourage you to review their practices if you're concerned about how your data travels beyond our site.

We never sell your personal information to third parties. When we do share data, it's aggregated and anonymized information that helps improve financial education resources across the industry.

5 Updates and Changes

The digital landscape changes constantly, and occasionally we need to update this policy to reflect new technologies or changes in how we operate. When significant changes happen, we'll notify you through our website or email if you've subscribed to our updates.

We keep previous versions of our policies available for reference, so you can see what's changed and when. Transparency matters to us, especially since we're in the business of helping people make informed financial decisions.

Minor updates might happen without individual notification – things like correcting typos or clarifying existing practices. But anything that affects how we collect or use your data will be communicated clearly.
