USA Money respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit usa-money.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. We've tried to write this in the same plain English we use everywhere else on the site.
01Information We Collect
We collect two general categories of information:
Information you provide
If you email us, sign up for a newsletter, or send us a tip, we receive the information you choose to share — typically your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
Information collected automatically
When you visit our site, our servers and analytics tools may automatically record standard log information, including your IP address, browser type and version, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit, and the referring page. We also use cookies and similar technologies described below.
02How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the site;
- Respond to questions, tips, and feedback;
- Send newsletters or updates if you've requested them;
- Understand how readers use the site so we can make it better;
- Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or abuse;
- Comply with legal obligations.
03Cookies & Analytics
We use cookies — small text files stored in your browser — to remember preferences and measure site usage. We may also use third-party analytics services (such as those provided by Google) that set their own cookies to help us understand reader behavior in aggregate.
You can disable cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work as expected without them.
04How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers who help us operate the site (hosting, email delivery, analytics) and are bound to handle data only on our behalf;
- Legal authorities when required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights, safety, or property;
- Successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets — in which case we'll notify you of any material changes to how your information is handled.
05Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Newsletter subscribers can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email.
06Your Choices & Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict its use, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, email us at support@usa-money.com and we'll respond within a reasonable timeframe.
California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and EU/UK residents have rights under the GDPR. We honor those rights regardless of how you reach us.
07Children's Privacy
USA Money is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have, please contact us and we'll delete it.
08Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold, but no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We can't guarantee absolute security.
09Third-Party Links
Our site may link to external sites we don't operate. We're not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their policies before sharing information with them.
10Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes will be highlighted on the site or sent to subscribers directly.
