[Last updated: 30 September 2024]

At getInto.finance, we value your privacy and are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how we use it. This Privacy and Data Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how it is used, and your rights regarding your data.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://getinto.finance. This website is an initiative by the Scottish Financial Enterprise (SFE).

What Data We Collect and Why

While we do not intentionally collect personal information, certain non-personal data may be automatically captured by third-party services and tools used to monitor website performance and improve the user experience. This data includes:

  • IP addresses (which may provide general location data)
  • Browser and device information (e.g., browser type, operating system, screen resolution)
  • Pages visited and time spent on the site
  • Referring website (the site that led you to ours)

This information helps us understand how visitors interact with our site and allows us to improve our content and services. We do not use this data to identify individual users.

Slimstat Analytics

We use the Slimstat Analytics plugin for WordPress to collect website traffic and usage statistics. Slimstat may automatically capture data such as:

  • IP addresses (which can be anonymized)
  • Browser and device type
  • Pages viewed, referring pages, and clicks
  • Time spent on the site

Slimstat does not share any personally identifiable information with us, and its primary purpose is to help us analyze traffic trends and website performance. You can learn more about Slimstat’s privacy practices here.

Cookies

Slimstat may use cookies to track anonymous session data. These cookies are used solely for the purpose of monitoring user behavior on the site and are not used to collect personally identifiable information. If you prefer, you can block cookies by adjusting your browser settings, but this may impact the functionality of our site.

Third-Party Services

Aside from Slimstat, we may use other third-party services (such as our hosting provider) that may collect data automatically for site management and improvement. These services have their own privacy policies, which govern how they handle such data.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content.

Your Rights

You have the right to request information about any data collected and processed by third-party services related to your use of this site. If you have any concerns or requests regarding your data, please contact us at [email protected].
