We're not going to pretend this is the most exciting document you'll read today. But if you're curious about how our website works behind the scenes and what information gets collected when you visit pezarilvo.com, this explains everything in straightforward terms.
Like most financial platforms, we collect certain data to make sure the site functions properly and to understand how people actually use our investment analysis tools. Some of this happens automatically through browser technologies.
What Are These Tracking Technologies Anyway?
Small text files get stored on your device when you browse websites. They're not programs and can't do anything on their own. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help the website remember things between visits.
Your browser talks to our server, and these tiny bits of data get exchanged. Some expire when you close your browser. Others stick around for months. They serve different purposes depending on what the site needs to remember.
The Technical Side
When your browser requests a page from our server, it can send back instructions to store information locally. This might include your session identifier, display preferences, or which pages you've already viewed during your visit.
We also track pixel-based activity and use local storage technologies. These work similarly but have different technical specifications and lifespans.
Categories We Use at pezarilvo
Essential Operations
These keep the site working. Without them, you can't log in, save your investment watchlists, or access secure areas of the platform. They're not optional if you want to use our services.
Functional Preferences
Remember your display settings, timezone preferences, or whether you prefer charts in AUD or USD? That's what these handle. They make repeat visits more convenient.
Performance Analytics
We track which features get used most often, where people get stuck, and how quickly pages load. This helps us identify what needs improvement in our analysis tools.
Content Targeting
These track your interests across the site so we can show relevant educational content about investment strategies that match what you're researching.
Specific Uses on Our Platform
Authentication and Security
When you log into your pezarilvo account, we create a session token. This proves you've already authenticated and prevents you from having to re-enter credentials every time you click to a different page.
We also track unusual login patterns. If someone tries accessing your account from three different countries within an hour, that triggers security protocols.
Portfolio and Watchlist Management
Your saved stock watchlists and portfolio configurations get stored both server-side and locally. The local version loads faster and works as a backup if our servers experience any issues.
Feature Usage Analytics
We monitor which analytical tools people actually use versus which ones get ignored. Last year, this data revealed that most users never discovered our dividend projection calculator because it was buried three menus deep. We moved it to the main dashboard in January 2025.
We don't sell your browsing data to third parties. The information we collect stays within pezarilvo and gets used solely for improving our platform and understanding usage patterns.
Data Retention Periods
| Category | Typical Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Management | Until browser closes | Maintains your logged-in state while actively using the platform |
| Preference Settings | 12 months | Remembers your display choices and tool configurations |
| Analytics Data | 24 months | Tracks usage trends and feature performance over time |
| Security Logs | 6 months | Helps identify suspicious activity patterns |
After these periods expire, the data gets automatically deleted from our systems. We don't keep it indefinitely just because we can.
Managing Your Browser Settings
Every modern browser gives you control over what tracking technologies get accepted. The exact location of these controls varies, but they're usually under privacy or security settings.
Access Browser Settings
Look for the menu icon in your browser toolbar. Settings or Preferences will be listed there. On mobile browsers, this might be under a More Options menu.
Find Privacy Controls
Within settings, locate the Privacy, Security, or Privacy & Security section. Different browsers organize this differently, but it's always prominently placed.
Configure Tracking Preferences
You'll see options to block all tracking, allow only first-party, or customize on a site-by-site basis. Some browsers offer a middle ground that blocks known trackers while allowing functional ones.
Clear Existing Data
Most browsers also let you delete all previously stored tracking data. This wipes your browsing history, saved preferences, and login sessions across all sites.
What Happens If You Block Everything?
You won't be able to log into pezarilvo or save any preferences. The site will still load, but you'll essentially be using it as a guest every single time, and certain features simply won't function.
Our recommendation? Allow functional and essential categories while blocking marketing if you prefer. That gives you a working platform without the targeting components.
Third-Party Services We Work With
We use a handful of external services that place their own tracking mechanisms on our site. These include our analytics provider, security monitoring service, and content delivery network.
- Analytics platforms that help us understand traffic patterns and user behavior flows
- Security services that monitor for malicious activity and protect against attacks
- Performance monitoring tools that track page load times and identify technical issues
- Content delivery networks that store cached versions of our site for faster loading
Each of these services has its own privacy policy. We've vetted them all, but you should know they collect data independently according to their own terms.
Your Rights and Control Options
Australian privacy regulations give you specific rights regarding your data. You can request a copy of everything we've collected, ask us to delete it, or correct inaccuracies.
To exercise any of these rights, send a request to contact@pezarilvo.com with "Data Request" in the subject line. We'll respond within 30 days with the information or confirmation of action taken.
Keep in mind that deleting certain data might affect your ability to use some platform features. We'll explain what the impacts would be before processing any deletion request.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Regulations evolve. We might add new features that require different tracking approaches. When we make significant changes to how we collect or use data, we'll update this document and the date at the top.
For major changes that affect your privacy in meaningful ways, we'll send notification through email to all registered users. Minor clarifications or additions might just appear here without separate notification.
