Last Updated: May 1, 2024
Welcome to Boostmenai's Privacy Policy. Your privacy is critically important to us. At Boostmenai, we have a few fundamental principles regarding your privacy:
- We only collect personal data that we need for operating our business and providing you with our services.
- We are thoughtful about the personal information we ask you to provide and the personal information that we collect about you through the operation of our services.
- We store personal information only for as long as we have a reason to keep it.
- We aim for full transparency on how we gather, use, and share your personal information.
Below is our Privacy Policy, which incorporates and clarifies these principles.

Information We Collect
We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so — for example, to provide our Services, to communicate with you, or to improve our Services. Let's go over the information we collect.
Information You Provide to Us
We collect information that you provide to us directly. Here are some examples:
- Basic Account Information: We ask for basic information from you in order to set up your account, such as your name, email address, and password.

Information We Collect Automatically
We also collect some information automatically:
- Log Information: We collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information.
- Usage Information: We collect information about your usage of our Services, such as the pages you visited, the links you clicked, and the features you used.
- Location Information: We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address to provide localized content and services.
- Information from Cookies & Other Technologies: A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's device and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Pixel tags (also called web beacons) are small blocks of code placed on websites and emails. We use cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies to help us identify and track visitors, usage, and access preferences for our Services, as well as track and understand email campaign effectiveness and deliver targeted ads.
How We Use Information
We use information about you as mentioned above and for the purposes listed below:
- Provide, maintain, and improve our Services: Including to operate our website, process transactions, and provide customer service.
- Further develop and improve our Services: For example, by adding new features that we think our users will enjoy or that will help them create and manage their financial education more efficiently.
- Monitor and analyze trends: And better understand how users interact with our Services, which helps us improve our Services and make them easier to use.
- Measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness of our marketing: For example, by targeting our marketing messages to groups of our users and analyzing the performance of our marketing campaigns.
- Protect against, identify, and prevent fraud and other illegal activity, security issues, and technical issues.
- Communicate with you: For example, through email, to solicit your feedback, share important product updates, or keep you up to date on Boostmenai. If you don't want to hear from us, you can opt out of marketing communications at any time.
- Personalize your experience: For example, to provide content recommendations and customize your experience by taking into account your preferences indicated by your past usage, your location, or your browsing history.
Sharing Information
We do not sell our users' private personal information. We share information about you in the limited circumstances spelled out below and with appropriate safeguards on your privacy:
- Third Party Vendors: We may share information about you with third party vendors who need to know information about you in order to provide their services to us, or to provide their services to you. This group includes vendors that help us provide our Services to you (like payment providers that process your credit and debit card information, fraud prevention services that allow us to analyze fraudulent payment transactions, postal and email delivery services that help us stay in touch with you, customer chat and email support services that help us communicate with you, web hosting providers, those that assist us with our marketing efforts, and those that help us understand and enhance our Services (like analytics providers).
- Legal and Regulatory Requirements: We may disclose information about you in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request.
- Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that Boostmenai goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. If any of these events were to happen, this Privacy Policy would continue to apply to your information and the party receiving your information may continue to use your information, but only consistent with this Privacy Policy.
- With Your Consent: We may share and disclose information with your consent or at your direction. For example, we may share your information with third parties with which you authorize us to do so, such as the social media services that you connect to our Services.
- Aggregated or De-Identified Information: We may share information that has been aggregated or reasonably de-identified, so that the information could not reasonably be used to identify you. For instance, we may publish aggregate statistics about the use of our Services and we may share a hashed version of your email address to facilitate customized ad campaigns on other platforms.
How Long We Keep Information
We generally discard information about you when we no longer need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it (described in the "How We Use Information" section above) and we are not legally required to continue to keep it.
For example, we keep web server logs that record information about a visitor to our website, such as the visitor's IP address, browser type, and operating system, for approximately 30 days. We retain the logs for this period of time in order to, among other things, analyze traffic to our website and investigate issues if something goes wrong.
Security
While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so, such as monitoring our Services for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.
To enhance the security of your account, we encourage you to:
- Use a strong password (a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters).
- Not reuse passwords used on other services.
- Enable any additional security features we provide, such as two-factor authentication if available.
Your Rights
You have several rights regarding your personal data:
- Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: You can ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information we hold about you.
- Deletion: You can ask us to delete your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Restriction: You can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Data Portability: You can ask us to transfer your personal data to another service provider in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Objection: You can object to our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Withdraw Consent: If we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
Please note that these rights are not absolute, and we may be entitled to refuse requests where exceptions apply.
Data Transfers
Boostmenai operates globally, and we may transfer your personal data to countries other than the one in which you live. We rely on mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses, or your consent (where applicable), to lawfully transfer data across borders.
