Cookie & Data Usage Policy

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help websites remember information about your visit – like your preferences, login status, or items in a shopping cart.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also use related technologies including web beacons (tiny invisible images), local storage, and session identifiers. These tools work together to create a smoother, more personalized experience each time you visit valenthiorque.com.

When you use valenthiorque.com, we collect various types of information to provide and improve our event budget planning services. This information helps us understand your needs and deliver a more effective financial planning experience.

We combine this information to create a comprehensive understanding of how our platform serves your budget planning needs. This helps us identify popular features, common pain points, and opportunities for enhancement.

Your information serves multiple purposes in helping us deliver exceptional budget planning services. We use data responsibly to enhance your experience while respecting your privacy and maintaining the security of your personal information.

Analytics data helps us understand which budget categories are most commonly used, where users spend the most time planning, and which features provide the greatest value. This insight drives our product development and helps us prioritize improvements that matter most to our community.

We also use information to ensure platform security, prevent fraudulent activity, and maintain the reliability of our services. Technical data helps us identify performance issues before they affect your experience and optimize loading times across different devices.

Marketing-related information helps us share relevant educational content about budget planning, notify you about new features that match your interests, and measure how effectively we're serving different types of event planners.

You have several options for controlling how cookies and tracking technologies work on your device. While essential cookies are necessary for basic functionality, you can adjust settings for other types of tracking based on your comfort level.

Keep in mind that disabling certain cookies may affect your experience on valenthiorque.com. Essential cookies are required for login functionality, security features, and basic budget planning tools. However, you can typically disable analytics and marketing cookies without impacting core functionality.

If you choose to block cookies entirely, some features like remembering your preferred currency, saving budget templates, and maintaining login status between visits may not work as expected.

We retain information only as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Different types of data have different retention periods based on their function and relevant legal requirements.

Essential cookies typically expire when you close your browser or after a set period of inactivity. Functional cookies that remember your preferences may persist longer – usually up to one year – to maintain consistency across your visits.

Analytics data is generally retained for up to 26 months to identify long-term trends and patterns in platform usage. This timeframe allows us to make informed decisions about feature development while eventually removing older data that's no longer relevant.

When you delete your account or request data removal, we work to eliminate your personal information from our systems within 30 days. Some information may be retained longer if required for legal compliance, security purposes, or to prevent fraud.

valenthiorque works with carefully selected third-party services to provide comprehensive budget planning functionality and analyze platform performance. These partners may place their own cookies on your device when you interact with certain features.

We use analytics providers to understand user behavior, payment processors for subscription management, and cloud services for secure data storage. Each of these partners has their own privacy policies governing how they handle information.

Our partnerships are designed to enhance your experience while maintaining your privacy. We regularly review our third-party relationships to ensure they meet our standards for data protection and user respect.

You can typically opt out of third-party tracking through industry opt-out tools, browser settings, or directly through the third-party service's privacy controls. However, some functionality may be limited if you choose to block all third-party services.

This cookie policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology improvements, or regulatory requirements. We're committed to maintaining transparency about any modifications that affect how we collect or use your information.

When we make significant changes, we'll notify active users through email and display prominent notices on valenthiorque.com. Minor clarifications or technical updates may be implemented without individual notification, though we'll always update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially if you have concerns about privacy or data usage. Your continued use of valenthiorque.com after policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
