Cookie Policy

When you visit Streamflashsmart.com, small data files called cookies are stored on your device. These work alongside other tracking methods like web beacons and local storage to remember your preferences and analyze how you interact with our budget planning tools.

Think of essential cookies as your digital key card - they remember that you're logged into your account and keep your budget data secure as you navigate between different sections. Analytics cookies, meanwhile, help us understand which features you find most useful, though these aren't necessary for the platform to function.

The data we gather varies depending on how you use Streamflashsmart. Essential tracking focuses on maintaining your account security and ensuring budget calculations remain accurate. This includes session identifiers, security tokens, and basic device information needed for proper functionality.

Analytics data helps us understand user behavior without identifying individuals. We might notice that most people spend extra time on the debt payoff calculator, suggesting we should make that feature more prominent. Or we could discover that mobile users have trouble with certain budget entry forms, prompting us to redesign those interfaces.

You have several ways to control what data Streamflashsmart collects. The simplest approach is using the rejection button above, which immediately disables all non-essential tracking while preserving the functionality needed for budget planning.

For more granular control, your browser settings offer detailed options. Most people find the browser approach useful because it applies the same rules across all websites, not just ours.

Some tracking on Streamflashsmart comes from external services we use to improve our platform. Google Analytics helps us understand user behavior patterns, while security services monitor for fraudulent activity that could compromise your financial data.

These third-party trackers operate under their own privacy policies, which often provide additional opt-out mechanisms. We've configured these services to minimize data collection, but you can disable them entirely through the cookie rejection options above.

Financial security services represent a special case - these help protect your budget data from unauthorized access and typically can't be disabled without compromising account security. However, they focus on threat detection rather than user behavior tracking.

Beyond simply accepting or rejecting cookies, you have broader rights regarding data collection on Streamflashsmart. You can request details about what specific information we've gathered, ask for corrections to inaccurate data, or have your tracking history deleted entirely.

These rights apply regardless of your location, though specific legal protections may vary. We handle all data requests within 30 days and provide clear explanations of what information exists and how it's been used.

Remember that disabling all tracking won't prevent you from using Streamflashsmart's core budget planning features. Essential functionality remains intact whether you accept comprehensive tracking or reject everything beyond basic requirements.
