Privacy Policy (RunTheMoney.com)

Effective Date: January 1, 2026
Last Updated: December 23, 2025

RunTheMoney.com (the “Site,” “Run The Money,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how we collect, use, and share information when you visit RunTheMoney.com.

This Privacy Policy applies only to this Site. It does not apply to third-party websites, apps, or services that may be linked from our Site.

1) Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

A. Information you provide to us

  • Contact information (e.g., name, email address) when you subscribe, fill out a form, or contact us.

  • Message content you send to us (e.g., questions, requests, or feedback).

  • Comments and any info you choose to submit if commenting is enabled.

B. Information collected automatically
When you browse the Site, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect:

  • Device and browser data (IP address, device type, browser type, operating system)

  • Usage data (pages viewed, time on page, clicks, referring/exit pages)

  • Cookie and similar technology data (described below)

C. Information from third parties
We may receive limited information from:

  • Email/newsletter providers (e.g., delivery, opens/clicks, unsubscribes)

  • Affiliate networks/advertisers (e.g., confirmation that a referral occurred)

  • Analytics providers (e.g., aggregate traffic and usage insights)

2) Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (pixels, tags, scripts) for:

  • Site functionality and security

  • Analytics and performance measurement

  • Advertising/affiliate tracking (where used)

  • Remembering preferences

Your choices: You can control cookies through:

  • Your browser settings (block or delete cookies)

  • Our cookie/consent tool (if enabled), where you can accept/reject non-essential cookies

If you have a cookie banner/consent tool, add a link here: Cookie Settings / Manage Consent

3) How We Use Information

We may use information to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site

  • Respond to inquiries and provide support

  • Send newsletters or updates you opted into (you can unsubscribe anytime)

  • Understand audience interests and site performance

  • Prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents

  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies

4) How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense of “selling a list.” However, some privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly to include certain advertising and analytics practices. If we use third-party advertising/analytics cookies, those activities may be considered a “sale” or “share” under some state laws.

We may share information in these situations:

A. Service providers
We may share information with vendors who help us run the Site (hosting, analytics, email delivery, security, forms). They are permitted to use information only to provide services to us.

B. Affiliate and advertising partners
If you click an affiliate link, the merchant or affiliate network may receive information needed to track the referral (often via cookies or similar tech). We may receive confirmation that a referral or transaction occurred.

C. Legal and safety reasons
We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, and security.

D. Business transfers
If the Site is transferred as part of a transaction (for example, sale of the Site/assets), information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5) Email and Marketing Communications

If you subscribe to our email list, we will send emails to the address you provided. You can unsubscribe anytime by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us.

If you subscribe via a third-party platform (for example, Substack), your subscription data may also be governed by that platform’s privacy policy.

6) Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

Our Site may link to third-party websites and may include embedded content (videos, social media widgets, etc.). Those third parties may collect information directly from you and may set cookies. We do not control third-party privacy practices.

7) Data Retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. For example:

  • Email subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe (or we remove it)

  • Contact messages may be kept for recordkeeping and support

  • Server/security logs may be retained for a limited period

8) Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect information. However, no website or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9) Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

10) Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

  • Request access to personal information we have about you

  • Request deletion or correction (where applicable)

  • Opt out of certain processing, including targeted advertising

  • Opt out of “sale” or “sharing” as defined by some state laws

Global Privacy Control (GPC): Some browsers allow you to send a GPC signal that communicates an opt-out preference. Where required and technically feasible, we will treat a GPC signal as a request to opt out of applicable “sale/sharing” activities.

How to submit a request:
Email: RunTheMoneyBlog@gmail.com with subject line “Privacy Request”.
Please include: your name, the email you used (if applicable), and what you want to request.

We may need to verify your request before completing it. You will not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.

11) Do Not Track

Some browsers include “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no uniform standard, we do not respond to Do Not Track signals at this time.

12) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective Date” at the top indicates when it was last revised.
