Understanding how CastDynamo collects, uses, and manages your browsing data to enhance your storytelling experience

Last Updated: January 15, 2025

What Are Tracking Technologies?

When you visit castdynamo.com, we use various tracking technologies to understand how you interact with our content and services. These tools help us improve your experience and provide more relevant storytelling resources.

Tracking technologies are small pieces of data stored on your device or transmitted between your browser and our servers. Think of them as digital breadcrumbs that help us remember your preferences and understand which parts of our site are most useful to our community of storytellers and editors.

We've been refining our data collection practices since 2024 to better serve our Taiwan-based and international users. Our approach focuses on gathering insights that directly improve the storytelling tools and educational content we provide, rather than collecting unnecessary personal information.

E

Essential Tracking

Required for basic website functionality, login sessions, and security. These ensure our editing tools work properly when you're logged in and help protect your account from unauthorized access.
F

Functional Tracking

Remembers your preferences like video quality settings, preferred tutorial formats, and interface customizations. This makes your return visits more personalized and efficient.
A

Analytics Tracking

Helps us understand which storytelling techniques are most popular, how long users spend learning different editing methods, and which tutorial sections need improvement.
M

Marketing Tracking

Used to show you relevant content about new storytelling courses, editing workshops, and creative opportunities that match your interests and skill level.

Types of Data We Collect

Our tracking systems collect different types of information depending on how you use our storytelling platform. We've organized this data into categories to help you understand exactly what information we gather and why it's useful for improving your creative experience.

Technical Information

  • Browser type and version for optimal video playback compatibility
  • Device information to ensure our editing interface works smoothly
  • Screen resolution to optimize tutorial and workspace layouts
  • Operating system details for software recommendation accuracy
  • Internet connection speed to suggest appropriate video quality settings

Behavioral Patterns

  • Pages visited and time spent learning different storytelling techniques
  • Tutorial completion rates and most replayed sections
  • Search queries within our educational content library
  • Download patterns for resources and project templates
  • Interaction with community features and discussion forums

Location and Context

  • Geographic region to provide localized content and scheduling
  • Time zone information for live workshop participation
  • Language preferences for educational material presentation
  • Referral sources to understand how users discover our content

Managing Your Data Preferences

You have control over how tracking technologies interact with your browsing experience. Most modern browsers allow you to customize these settings based on your privacy preferences.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

The data we collect directly improves your storytelling journey on our platform. For example, when our analytics show that users frequently pause during specific editing techniques, we create additional detailed tutorials for those areas.

If you're consistently interested in documentary storytelling methods, our tracking helps surface relevant workshops and connects you with similar creators. We've found this approach particularly effective for our international student community, where personalized recommendations help bridge different creative backgrounds and experience levels.

Our functional tracking remembers your workspace preferences — whether you prefer timeline views or storyboard layouts, your favorite export settings, and which creative resources you use most frequently. This means less time configuring settings and more time focused on your storytelling craft.

Data Retention and Your Control

We keep analytical data for 24 months to identify long-term trends in storytelling education effectiveness. Personal preferences and functional data remain active as long as you use our platform, but you can reset these at any time through your account settings.

Marketing-related tracking data is evaluated every 12 months and automatically purged if it's no longer relevant to current course offerings or if your engagement patterns indicate changed interests.
