How Long We Keep Your Data

Third-Party Services We Work With

Several trusted services help us provide better financial planning resources. Each has their own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies if you're interested in how they handle data.

Google Analytics: Helps us understand which financial topics interest visitors most and how people navigate our educational content. Their data retention and privacy controls are managed through Google's systems.

Email Marketing Platform: When you subscribe to our financial planning tips, we use an email service to send you relevant information. You can unsubscribe anytime, and we don't share your email with other businesses.

Contact Form Processing: Form submissions for consultation requests are processed securely and stored in our client management system for follow-up and service delivery.

Your Data Control Options

You have several ways to control how we collect and use your information. The easiest method is using the cookie rejection button at the top of this page, which will stop all non-essential tracking immediately.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely, though this might affect how well our website works for you. We've designed our site to function properly even with strict privacy settings, but some convenience features may not work as smoothly.

For any questions about your data or to request information about what we've collected, you can contact us directly. We're happy to explain what information we have and help you understand how it's being used to improve your experience with our financial planning resources.
