Your privacy
matters to us

We collect information in two ways — information you give us directly, and information collected automatically when you use our site.

We only use your information for legitimate purposes directly related to running MoneyMapJournal. We do not use your data for advertising profiling or sell it to data brokers.

• Send you our newsletter and financial content updates you opted in to receive
• Respond to your messages, questions, and contact form submissions
• Analyse site traffic to understand which content is helpful and improve the site
• Prevent spam, fraud, and abuse on our platform
• Comply with legal obligations where applicable
• Send occasional updates about significant changes to this site or policy

We use cookies to make the site work properly and to understand how people use it. Here's a breakdown of the types of cookies we use:

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies without affecting first-party functionality.

MoneyMapJournal uses several trusted third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle data:

• Google Analytics — website traffic and behaviour analysis
• Mailchimp / ConvertKit — newsletter delivery and email list management
• WPForms — contact form processing and submission storage
• Cloudflare — CDN, security, and performance optimisation
• Amazon Associates & other affiliate networks — referral tracking for recommended products
• WordPress / Automattic — our hosting and CMS platform

We select third-party services carefully and only share the minimum data necessary for them to provide their service.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers — trusted vendors who help us operate the site (hosting, email delivery, analytics) under strict data processing agreements
• Legal requirements — if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users
• Business transfers — if MoneyMapJournal is acquired or merged, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction with equivalent privacy protections maintained

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure:

• HTTPS encryption across all pages of the site
• Regular security updates and WordPress hardening best practices
• Limited staff access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
• Cloudflare DDoS protection and Web Application Firewall

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data. To exercise any of these, contact us at Support@moneymapjournal.com.

We will respond to all requests within 30 days. In complex cases, we may need up to 60 days and will notify you accordingly.

MoneyMapJournal is intended for adults and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with their data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, our practices, or the services we offer. When we do:

• We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
• For significant changes, we will notify newsletter subscribers by email
• Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy

We recommend checking this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
