Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 7, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Budgeting with Claudia (“we,” “us,” or “this site”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit budgetingwithclaudia.com.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://budgetingwithclaudia.com. You can reach us anytime at hello@budgetingwithclaudia.com.

Information We Collect

Newsletter signup. If you sign up for our free tracker or newsletter, we collect the email address you provide. This is sent directly to our email newsletter provider, Kit (formerly ConvertKit), who sends you a confirmation email and manages our mailing list. We do not sell or rent your email address. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send. See Kit’s own privacy policy at https://www.kit.com/privacy for details on how they handle your data.

Contact form. Our “Say hello” contact form opens your own email application with a pre-filled message addressed to us. The message content is sent from your email account to ours; it is not stored on our servers or database.

Automatically collected data. Like most websites, our hosting provider (Hostinger) automatically logs standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited, for security and performance purposes.

Advertising and Cookies

This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses data at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting https://adssettings.google.com.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you will be shown a consent banner asking for your permission before any personalized advertising cookies are set, and you can change your choice at any time.

Analytics

We may use Google Analytics and Google Search Console to understand overall site traffic and search performance, such as which pages are popular and how visitors find us. These tools use cookies and provide us with aggregated, anonymized statistics; we do not use them to personally identify individual visitors. You can read Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Affiliate Links

Some links on this site, including product links in our Shop section, are affiliate links (such as Amazon Associates). If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This does not affect the price you pay or our editorial opinions.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above to: send the newsletter and free resources you sign up for; respond to messages you send us; keep the site secure and working properly; and understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the limited information we collect, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure.

Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to withdraw consent (such as unsubscribing from our newsletter). To make a request, email us at hello@budgetingwithclaudia.com.
