Data Usage Policy
Understanding how KindleFlux uses tracking technologies to enhance your experience with our financial analysis platform
We believe transparency matters when it comes to data collection. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use on kindleflux.com and why they're here in the first place.
Look, we're not trying to be mysterious about this stuff. When you use our financial analysis tools, certain technologies help us make things work better for you. Some are essential just to keep the site running. Others help us understand what's working and what needs improvement.
What We're Talking About
Tracking technologies come in different forms. The most common ones are small text files that your browser stores when you visit our site. These help us remember your preferences and recognize you when you return.
We also use similar technologies like local storage and session data. They serve comparable purposes but work slightly differently under the hood. The important thing is they all help create a smoother experience when you're working with our platform.
These technologies don't reveal who you are personally. Instead, they create patterns that help us understand how people interact with our financial analysis tools.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Operations
These keep the platform functional. Without them, you couldn't log in, save your work, or move between different analysis screens. They're the foundation that makes everything else possible.
Functional Preferences
These remember your choices—dashboard layouts, chart preferences, notification settings. They save you from reconfiguring things every single time you visit.
Performance Analytics
We track how people use different features. Which tools get used most? Where do people get stuck? This data guides our development priorities and helps us fix problems.
Service Communication
These help us show you relevant information about features you actually use. If you work primarily with cash flow analysis, we might highlight new tools in that area.
How This Benefits You
Here's what happens when these technologies work properly. You log in, and your dashboard appears exactly how you left it. Your custom financial models load without having to rebuild them. The charts display in your preferred format.
When we analyze usage patterns, we learn things like "most users can't find the export function" or "people abandon the forecasting tool at step three." That feedback drives interface improvements.
Real example from 2024: Our analytics showed users repeatedly clicking a section that wasn't actually interactive. We redesigned that area based on the data, and support questions about it dropped by 60%.
The tracking also helps us maintain security. We can spot unusual patterns that might indicate unauthorized access attempts or technical problems affecting multiple users.
Data We Actually Collect
| Information Type | What It Tells Us | Storage Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Session identifiers | Maintains your logged-in state and active workspace | Until you log out or session expires |
| Interface preferences | Your dashboard layout, theme choices, display settings | 12 months from last update |
| Feature usage patterns | Which tools you use, how often, typical workflows | 24 months in aggregated form |
| Performance metrics | Load times, error occurrences, system responsiveness | 6 months for detailed data |
| Device information | Browser type, screen size, operating system basics | Duration of session |
We don't collect financial data through these tracking technologies. Your actual analysis work, models, and proprietary information stay separate and protected under different security protocols.
Managing Your Settings
You control how your browser handles these technologies. Every modern browser gives you options to block, delete, or restrict them. Just keep in mind that some choices will affect how our platform functions.
Browser Configuration
Open your browser settings and look for privacy or security sections. Most browsers let you view, delete, or block tracking technologies site-by-site or completely.
Platform Preferences
Within your KindleFlux account settings, you can adjust certain preferences about functional and analytical tracking. Essential operations can't be disabled since they're required for the platform to work.
Third-Party Tools
If we use any third-party analytics services, they typically offer their own opt-out mechanisms. We'll provide links to those when applicable.
Blocking all tracking will likely break important features. You won't stay logged in between sessions. Preferences won't save. Some analytical tools might not function properly. We're not saying this to scare you—just want you to know what to expect.
Updates and Changes
We update this policy when our tracking practices change. That happens when we add new features, integrate different tools, or respond to user feedback about privacy concerns.
Major changes get announced through your account dashboard and via email. Minor technical updates might just appear here without separate notification. We recommend checking back occasionally, especially if you're particular about these things.
The date at the top of this page shows when we last made changes. If you visited before that date and something looks different, that's why.
Regional Considerations
We serve users across different regions, including Southeast Asia where our headquarters operates. Different places have different rules about data tracking and privacy.
For users in Thailand and neighboring markets, we follow local regulations about data collection and user consent. European users get protections under GDPR. California residents have rights under CCPA. We try to apply strong privacy practices universally, not just where legally required.
If you're accessing our platform from a region with specific privacy laws, you may have additional rights regarding your data. Contact us to learn what applies to your situation.
Mobile Applications
If you use our mobile apps, similar tracking technologies work there too. Mobile apps use device identifiers and local storage instead of traditional browser mechanisms, but the purposes remain the same.
Mobile operating systems give you controls over app tracking. iOS and Android both have system-level settings that limit what apps can track across different services. Those settings work with our apps.
