Which policy is this?

Financial Life Simulation has two separate privacy policies, and it matters which one you're reading:

  • The Simulation App — everything at app.financiallifesim.org, where students and teachers log in and play. That has its own policy: it collects only your first and last name (email optional), never shares or sells anything, and deletes student data at the end of each class. You can read it on the About page.
  • This marketing website — the public pages at financiallifesim.org that you're on right now. It works a little differently, and that difference is what the rest of this page explains.

What this website collects

Financial Life Simulation, LLC does not collect, store, track, or sell any personal information about you through this marketing website. There are no accounts, no logins, and no analytics database of our own sitting behind these pages. The contact form simply opens your own email program with a message drafted to us — we only ever see what you choose to send.

The one exception: Facebook/Meta advertising

We run ads on Facebook and Instagram to help teachers, parents, and students find the tool. To measure whether those ads actually work, the marketing pages include the Meta Pixel — a small piece of code provided by Meta Platforms, Inc.

When you visit a page that has the pixel, your visit and standard technical details (such as your IP address, browser type, and which page you viewed) may be sent to Meta. We use this only to understand how our advertising is performing. We do not sell your data, and we do not combine this information with anything else about you. Meta's own handling of that data is governed by Meta's Privacy Policy.

The app is never tracked

The Meta Pixel lives only on these public marketing pages. It is not present anywhere inside the simulation app at app.financiallifesim.org. Nothing a student or teacher does inside the app — no logins, no decisions, no results — is ever tracked for advertising.

Cookies

When the pixel is active, Meta may set cookies in your browser to recognize ad interactions. Aside from those, this website sets no cookies of its own. If you opt out below — or your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal — the pixel never loads, so those cookies are never set.

For California & Canada visitors

California residents have the right under the CPRA to opt out of the “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. The Meta Pixel described above counts as that kind of sharing, so the control below — and any Global Privacy Control signal your browser sends — is how you exercise that right. We honor a Global Privacy Control signal automatically.

For visitors in Canada, this advertising measurement is the only personal information the website handles, and the opt-out below stops it. We never sell personal information in any jurisdiction.

Your privacy choices

You can opt out of the Facebook/Meta marketing pixel at any time. Your choice is saved in this browser and takes effect as you keep browsing the site. We also automatically respect your browser's Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, if you have one turned on.

Marketing tracking is ON in this browser.

This controls only the Facebook/Meta marketing pixel on this website. It does not affect the simulation app, which has no advertising tracking of any kind.

In short

We don't collect, track, or sell your data on this website. The only tracking is the Facebook/Meta advertising pixel, used to measure our ads — and you can switch it off right here. The simulation app has no advertising tracking at all.
