This privacy policy explains how FrugalHarpy.com may collect, use, and protect your personal information. Your privacy is taken seriously and transparency is a priority.
Who We Are
FrugalHarpy.com is an independently owned and operated personal finance blog focused on frugal living and financial independence. It is the data controller for any personal information collected through this website.
Information We May Collect
Personal data is collected only when you voluntarily provide it — for example, an email address submitted via a newsletter sign-up or contact form. This data may be used solely for the purpose it was submitted (such as sending updates or responding to inquiries).
Analytics and Cookies
This site may use third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. These services may collect anonymized usage data — such as pages visited, time on site, and general location — in accordance with their own privacy policies. No personally identifiable data is collected through analytics.
Essential cookies may be used for site functionality. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.
Affiliate Networks
This site participates in affiliate programs including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and select other partner networks. These programs may use cookies to track referrals. No personal information is shared with affiliate networks beyond standard referral tracking.
Display Advertising
This site does not currently run display advertising. If this changes, this policy will be updated to reflect it.
Embedded Content
Some posts may include embedded content from third-party sites (such as videos or images). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited those sites directly — refer to their privacy policies for details.
Data Sharing and Security
Personal data is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties except as required by law or with trusted service providers (such as email platforms and hosting providers) under strict confidentiality. Reasonable technical measures are in place to protect against unauthorized access, though no system can be guaranteed 100% secure.
Data Retention
Data is retained only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected (for example, newsletter subscriptions until you unsubscribe) or as required by applicable law.
Your Rights
We do not sell your personal information. You have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data held about you. California residents (under CCPA/CPRA) may request details on data collected and opt out of any data sales. Residents of the EEA and UK (under GDPR) have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or request portability of personal data, and to object to certain processing activities. To exercise any of these rights, use the contact page.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated occasionally. Changes will be posted here with a revised effective date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
