Data Usage Policy

Understanding how we collect and use information to enhance your experience with our budget approval workflow platform

What Are Tracking Technologies?

When you visit ignitebrainwave.com, we use various tracking technologies to understand how you interact with our budget approval workflow solutions. Think of these as small data collectors that help us make your experience smoother and more relevant.

These technologies include cookies, web beacons, and similar tools that store information about your preferences and browsing patterns. We've been refining our approach throughout 2024 and into 2025 to ensure transparency while maintaining the functionality you expect from our platform.

Types of Data Collection We Use

Essential Cookies Cannot Be Disabled

Our budget approval platform requires certain cookies to function securely. These handle user authentication, maintain session security, prevent fraud, and ensure data integrity during workflow processes. Disabling these would break core functionality and compromise security for financial data handling.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Here's what our data collection actually does for you: When you return to create a new budget approval workflow, the system remembers your preferred template format and common approval routes. If you frequently work with certain departments, those get prioritized in your interface.

Our analytics help us spot when users struggle with specific workflow steps. Last year, we discovered people were getting confused during the multi-level approval setup, so we redesigned that entire section. Without usage data, we would never have known where the pain points were.

Performance tracking also alerts us to technical issues before they become major problems. When load times increase or certain features start failing, we can address these proactively rather than waiting for complaints.

Data Retention and Your Control

Most tracking data gets automatically purged after 24 months, though essential security logs may be retained longer to meet financial compliance requirements. Analytics data is anonymized after 90 days, so individual behavior patterns can't be traced back to specific users.

You have several control options: Use the button above to reject non-essential tracking entirely. Clear your browser's stored data to reset all preferences. Or adjust your browser settings to limit what gets collected in the first place.

Managing Browser Settings

Most modern browsers let you block or limit tracking technologies. Look for privacy settings in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. You can set rules about what sites can store, how long data persists, and whether cross-site tracking is allowed. These controls give you granular management beyond our simple opt-out button.
