Privacy Policy

The Finance Monk (“we,” “us,” or “the site”) operates thefinancemonk.com. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little as possible — our tools run in your browser and we don’t ask you to create an account.

Information we collect

Information you provide. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to share.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies to gather standard log and usage data — such as your approximate location, browser type, device, pages viewed, and how you arrived. This helps us understand traffic and improve the site.

Tool inputs stay with you. The numbers you enter into our invoice generator and rate calculator are processed in your browser and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

Cookies, advertising, and analytics

We use cookies for analytics and advertising. Specifically:

• Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies (including the DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits here and across the internet.
• Google Analytics. We use Analytics to measure traffic and usage in aggregate.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info/choices. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as well.

How we use information

We use the information above to operate and improve the site, measure performance, serve and optimize advertising, respond to your messages, and keep the site secure. We do not sell your personal information for money.

Your California privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. Under California law, the use of advertising cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered “sharing.”

To opt out, use the Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info/choices tools above, or email us at sachin@thefinancemonk.com with the subject “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.” We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Data retention and security

We retain data only as long as needed for the purposes above and use reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by a new effective date at the top of this page.
