By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. Information we collect
We collect two types of information: information you give us directly, and information collected automatically when you browse the site.
Information you provide directly:

WE DO NOT COLLECT
Financial account details, social security numbers, credit card numbers, or any sensitive personal financial data. Our interactive calculators run entirely in your browser — we never see the numbers you enter.
2. How we use your information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To send our newsletter (only if you subscribed — you can unsubscribe any time)

We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
3. Cookies and tracking technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites remember your preferences and understand how you use the site. We use the following types:
- Essential cookies — necessary for the site to function correctly (e.g. security, session management)
- Analytics cookies — we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This data is anonymous and aggregated. You can opt out via Google’s opt-out tool.
- Advertising cookies — if we display ads through a network like Ezoic or Mediavine, they may place cookies to show relevant advertisements. You can manage ad preferences at aboutads.info.
- Third-party cookies — some embedded content (such as YouTube videos or social share buttons) may set their own cookies.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the site function. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing ones.
4. Third-party services
We use the following third-party services that may collect or process data on our behalf:
- Google Analytics — website traffic analysis (Google Privacy Policy)
- Mailchimp — email newsletter delivery (Mailchimp Privacy Policy)
- WordPress.com / hosting provider — website hosting and infrastructure
- Disqus or WordPress comments — comment functionality, if enabled
Each of these third parties has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data. We encourage you to review their policies directly.
5. Affiliate links disclosure
MoneySwap participates in affiliate marketing programmes. This means some links on our site are affiliate links — if you click one and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or recommendations. We only recommend products and services we believe are genuinely useful to our readers. All affiliate links are disclosed in articles where they appear.
We are a participant in affiliate programmes including ShareASale, Impact, and the Amazon Associates Program. Commissions help us keep this site free for readers.
