We use the information we collect for a broad range of purposes integral to our business operations, including:
- To Provide the Service: To operate the calculator, generate your personalised calculations and projections, and deliver your results to you.
- To Facilitate Introductions to Third-Party Partners: This is a core function of the Service. With your explicit consent, we will use and share your information (including your contact details and financial data) to facilitate an introduction to our network of third-party professionals, such as licensed financial planners, mortgage brokers, or insurance specialists ("Third-Party Partners").
- For Direct Marketing and Advertising: To contact you via email or phone with information about our services or the services of our partners. We also use your data for targeted advertising and remarketing across various platforms (e.g., Meta). You can opt out of direct marketing at any time.

- For Security and Legal Compliance: To protect the security and integrity of our Service, prevent fraud, and comply with our legal obligations.
4. Disclosure of Your Information
We may share your information with the following parties:
- Third-Party Partners (With Your Explicit Consent): We will only share your information with our Third-Party Partners when you provide clear, affirmative consent within the Service (e.g., by ticking a box or clicking a button that authorises the referral). You acknowledge that once your information is passed to a Third-Party Partner, it is subject to their privacy policy and practices, over which we have no control.
- Technology and Analytics Partners: We share usage and technical data with our technology providers, such as Meta (for advertising) and PostHog (for product analytics). These parties may process data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
- Service Providers: We engage third-party companies that provide services on our behalf, such as cloud hosting, email delivery, and data storage. They are contractually bound to only use the information to perform services for us.
- Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred as a business asset.
- Legal Authorities: We may disclose your information if required by law or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or protect our rights and property.
