Spending.College ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. By using our website at spending.college, you agree to the practices described below.
Information you provide: If you fill out our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content solely to respond to your inquiry.
Automatically collected data: Like most websites, we collect standard log data when you visit, including your browser type, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and approximate geographic location (country or state level). This is collected anonymously and used only in aggregate form.
Calculator inputs: When you use the budget calculator, your selections (state, housing type, etc.) are processed locally in your browser. We do not store, transmit, or retain your individual calculator inputs.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
We use cookies to operate the site and to serve ads through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to show ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
We also use Google Analytics to understand site traffic patterns. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. You can opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
You have the right to request access to any personal information we hold about you, and to request its deletion. Since we collect very little personal data, most requests can be fulfilled within 48 hours. Contact us at hello@spending.college.
If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not sell personal information and do not discriminate against users who exercise their privacy rights.
Our site may contain links to external sites (such as job boards or financial resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies before providing any personal information.
Spending.College is intended for college students (generally 18 and older) and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
