Budgetrove publishes Budgetrove. This policy sets out what visiting budgetrove.com involves in data terms, and what you can do about it.

Retention & Security

Retention is purpose-bound: analytics records expire on their provider’s cycle, mailing-list entries persist only while you remain subscribed, and comment data stays as long as the comment does. We restrict who can reach the data, serve the site over encrypted connections, and apply safeguards proportionate to the (limited) sensitivity of what we hold — no system is completely secure.

Why We Hold It

Purposes: operating budgetrove.com; measuring which of our guides, comparisons and reference pages draw readers; sending the newsletter to subscribers; and supporting advertising where it is displayed.

Your Rights

Rights available to you may include access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and opting out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising. The GDPR covers UK and EU readers; the CCPA/CPRA and similar state statutes cover much of the US. We act on Global Privacy Control signals. See Do Not Sell or Share and the State Privacy Notice.

The Information Involved

Two kinds of information reach us. The first is automatic: standard server and analytics data such as IP address, approximate location, device and browser details, and which pages of budgetrove.com were viewed. The second is whatever you deliberately hand over — a comment, a newsletter signup, or a message you send us.

• Given what we write about, this is worth being explicit about: we ask readers not to send us sensitive personal details, and we delete rather than retain anything of that kind that reaches us unprompted.

Third Parties

Running a site of this kind involves outside providers. Hosting and content delivery, analytics (we may use a provider such as Google Analytics), an email platform if you subscribe, and any advertising network we work with. Where these act on their own account rather than ours — as independent controllers rather than processors acting on our instruction — their own privacy policies apply alongside this one.

The Mailing List

Email goes only to people who asked for it, verified by a double opt-in step. Each send includes an unsubscribe link and a postal address, and unsubscribing takes effect straight away.

Age and This Site

Our audience is adult. We do not target children under 13 — under 16 in jurisdictions that set the higher bar — and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If such data is identified, it is removed.

Cookies

See the Cookie Policy for the categories of cookie involved and the controls available to you.
