Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

When you allow tracking, we can provide personalized recommendations for financial wellness resources, remember which calculators you use most frequently, and suggest relevant educational content based on your interests.

For example, if you frequently use our budgeting tools, we might suggest advanced budgeting workshops. If you're interested in investment basics, we'll prioritize showing you beginner-friendly investment education content.

Analytics help us identify which features are most valuable so we can focus our development efforts on tools that actually help reduce financial stress for our Philippine community.
