Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information FinancialRoots (financialroots.co) collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. We do not sell your personal information.

Information we collect

• Contact form submissions: the name, email address, subject, and message you choose to send us.
• Technical data: like most websites, our hosting provider automatically processes basic data such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested, to deliver and secure the site.
• Advertising cookies: Google and its partners may set cookies or use similar technologies to show and measure ads (see below).

Our calculators run entirely in your browser. We do not store or transmit the numbers you enter. We never ask for bank logins, card numbers, or Social Security numbers.

How we use your information

• To reply to messages you send us and fix errors you report.
• To keep the site secure and working properly.
• To show advertising that keeps the site free to read.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and/or other sites on the internet.

• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu.
• Learn more in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Ads are clearly separated from our articles. Advertisers do not influence what we write.

Cookies and your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland may be asked for consent before personalized ads are shown; you can change that choice at any time. If you decline, you may still see non-personalized ads.

Third-party services

We rely on Google AdSense (advertising) and our hosting and database provider (site delivery and storing contact messages). Articles link to outside sources such as government agencies; those sites have their own privacy policies.

How long we keep data

Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to respond and keep a reasonable record, then deleted. You can ask us to delete your message at any time.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or California privacy laws), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to object to certain uses. We do not sell or share personal information for money. To make a request, use our contact form.

Children's privacy

FinancialRoots is intended for adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The date above shows the latest version.
