When you visit gemehcelioleva.com, we use small data files called cookies along with other tracking technologies to make your banking experience smoother and more secure. Think of cookies as helpful notes that remember your preferences – like keeping you logged in securely or remembering which language you prefer.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage technologies. These work together to help us understand how our platform performs and where we can improve your experience. For instance, if many users struggle with a particular step in our mobile app, these tools help us identify and fix the issue.

We're pretty specific about how we use the information these technologies collect. Here's what actually happens with your data:

• Security monitoring: We watch for unusual patterns that might indicate fraud or unauthorized access attempts on your account
• Performance optimization: We track loading times and error rates to keep our platform running smoothly
• Feature improvement: We see which tools and features get used most, helping us focus development efforts
• Customer support: When you contact us, we can see your recent activity to help resolve issues faster
• Compliance reporting: We generate anonymized reports for Canadian banking regulators as required

Different types of data have different lifespans, and you have various levels of control over each:

Every major browser gives you control over cookies. Here's how to manage them if you want more granular control beyond our simple opt-out button:

We work with several trusted partners who help us provide better service. Each has their own privacy practices, though we've vetted them all for Canadian privacy compliance:

• Analytics providers: Help us understand site performance and user experience patterns
• Security services: Monitor for threats and help protect against fraud
• Customer support tools: Enable features like live chat and help desk functionality
• Communication platforms: Power our email notifications and SMS alerts

When you reject non-essential cookies, we'll also stop most third-party tracking on your behalf. Some security-related services will continue working since they're necessary for protecting your account.

We update this policy occasionally – usually when we add new features or services, or when privacy regulations change. We'll notify active account holders about significant changes via email or through your account dashboard.

For smaller updates, we'll post the changes here with a "last updated" date. We try to keep the language straightforward and explain what any changes mean for you in practical terms.
