1. General provisions
This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) governs how personal data of users of the Finaim platform, available at app.finaim.org (the “Platform”, the “Service”), is obtained, stored, used and disclosed.

3. Purposes of processing personal data

Once the retention period expires, the data is destroyed or anonymised in the manner set out in the Operator's internal procedures.

7. Cookies
The Platform uses session cookies required to maintain your authenticated session; they are deleted when you close your browser.
To count visits the Platform uses the web analytics service Yandex Metrica (YANDEX LLC). The service stores persistent cookies in your browser and receives data about a visit: the addresses of the pages viewed, the referring page, information about the browser and the device, and the IP address. This data is used in aggregate, for traffic statistics. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies, and no data is passed to advertising networks.
You can opt out of being counted by installing the Yandex Metrica opt-out add-on.
You can configure cookie settings in your browser. Disabling cookies will make the features that require authentication unusable.
8. Data security
The Operator takes the organisational and technical measures necessary to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. In particular:
- Data is transmitted between the browser and the server over HTTPS.
- Data is stored on secured servers with restricted access.
- Passwords and sensitive identifiers are stored in hashed form.
9. Changes to the Policy
The Operator may amend this Policy. A new version takes effect from the moment it is published on the Platform. The date of the latest version is stated at the top of this document. Continuing to use the Service after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the new version of the Policy.
