Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Retirement Planning Guide (“we”, “us”) collects when you use this website, how we use it, and the choices and rights you have. This is a general template and should be reviewed by a qualified professional for your jurisdiction before launch.

Information we collect

  • Usage data. Like most websites, we may collect anonymous, aggregated statistics about visits, such as pages viewed, approximate region, device and browser type, and referring site, to understand which content is useful and to keep the site working.
  • Information you provide. If you email us or use a contact form, we receive your email address, your name (if you give it), and the contents of your message.
  • Technical data. Standard server and delivery information, such as IP address, is processed by our content delivery network to serve pages securely.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data, and you should not send us account numbers, passwords, or other confidential financial details.

How we use your information

We use the information above only to:

  • operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website;
  • understand which content is helpful so we can prioritize it; and
  • respond to messages and corrections you send us.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising profiling.

Cookies and analytics

We aim to keep the site simple and use only what is necessary to serve pages. Where analytics are used, we choose a privacy-conscious provider configured to minimise the data collected, for example with IP anonymisation and no cross-site tracking. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Third parties

This site is served through a content delivery network and may use a privacy-conscious analytics provider. These providers process limited technical data on our behalf to deliver and measure the site. We do not share your personal information with third parties except as needed to operate the site or where required by law.

Data retention

We keep email correspondence only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any follow-up, and aggregated analytics for no longer than necessary to understand trends.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details on our Contact page and we will respond as required by applicable law.

Children’s privacy

This website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited information we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent version, and continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
