A cookie is a small file or identifier stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website.

The types of cookies and similar technologies we may use include:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies support essential website functions such as security, fraud prevention, form functionality, and remembering your privacy preferences.

Because these technologies are necessary for the Site to operate properly, they may not require consent where permitted by law.

Disabling certain technologies may affect some Site functionality or our ability to understand how the Site is being used.

Advertising

The Savings Guide may advertise through websites, search engines, social networks, digital advertising platforms, and other channels.

We may use website activity and advertising measurement information to understand whether our advertising results in visits, subscriptions, or other interactions.

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money.

Certain uses of advertising technologies may be considered “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or similar activity under some privacy laws. Where an applicable law provides a right to opt out and applies to our business, eligible individuals may exercise that right through available privacy controls or by contacting us.

  • Email delivery
  • Website security
  • Analytics
  • Advertising and campaign measurement

These service providers may process information on our behalf or according to their own applicable terms and privacy policies.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable law or valid legal process
  • Investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents

  • Protect the rights, property, or safety of others

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and for legitimate business, legal, security, and recordkeeping purposes.

Subscriber information may be retained while you remain subscribed.

If you unsubscribe, limited information may continue to be retained so that we can maintain a record of your request and avoid sending communications you have declined.

Website analytics, advertising information, technical logs, form submissions, and consent records may have different retention periods depending on their purpose and system configuration.

Information that is no longer reasonably necessary may be deleted or anonymized.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information under our control.

However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Please do not submit highly sensitive personal information through the digital-paper subscription form.

Children’s Privacy

SavingsGuide.net is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 in circumstances where parental consent would be required.

A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information may contact us.

Third-Party Websites and Advertisements

The Site and digital editions of The Savings Guide may contain advertisements, links, QR codes, website addresses, or other references to third-party businesses and services.

Interacting with an advertisement, website link, QR code, or other third-party feature may direct you away from SavingsGuide.net.
