This page explains what information FinLit collects when you read our guides, sign up for the newsletter, or contact our editorial team. We keep the language plain because privacy decisions should not require a law degree.
When you submit a question through the contact form, request a guide by email, or leave a comment on an article, we receive the details you type: your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this information only to respond to your inquiry and to send you the material you asked for. We do not sell this data or share it with advertisers.
Like most informational websites, we log basic technical details when you visit: browser type, device category, approximate region, pages viewed, and time spent on each page. This helps us understand which topics are useful and which sections need improvement. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
We use a small number of cookies to remember your preferences, such as whether you have dismissed a notice or chosen a reading mode. Our analytics provider processes anonymised usage events so we can measure article performance and site reliability. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may work less smoothly without them.
Contact form submissions are stored on our hosting provider's servers in encrypted form and retained for up to 24 months, after which they are deleted. Access is limited to the editorial team. We do not maintain a customer database, process payments, or collect financial account numbers through this website.
We rely on a small set of service providers to run the site: web hosting, email delivery for newsletter requests, and analytics. Each provider processes data under a data processing agreement and only for the purposes described in this policy. We do not allow third parties to use your data for their own marketing.
You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccuracies, or request deletion at any time. You can also withdraw consent for analytics by blocking cookies. To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@finlit.example with the subject line "Privacy Request" and we will respond within 30 days.
FinLit is an educational resource. We do not promise guaranteed returns, endorse specific financial products, or imply affiliation with any bank, brokerage, or government agency. All articles are written for general information and should not be treated as personalised financial advice. If a claim seems too certain, read the underlying data before acting on it.
If you have questions about this policy or want to exercise your rights, write to us at 8B Mustafa Grange, Skilesfort, NSW 2693, call +61-2-3727-2611, or email info@finlit.example. This policy was last updated on 14 March 2025.
