Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 7, 2026

CrowdfundedWealth ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website crowdfundedwealth.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you visit our website.

We take your privacy seriously. This policy is written in plain language so you can actually understand it — not just scroll past it.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

  • Email address:If you subscribe to our newsletter through Buttondown, we collect your email address. That's it. We don't ask for your name, phone number, or anything else.
  • Contact information:If you email us directly, we'll have whatever information you include in your message.

Information Collected Automatically

  • Analytics data: We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how people use our site. This collects anonymized data about pages visited, time on site, device type, browser, approximate location (city/country level), and referral source. GA4 does not collect your name or email.
  • Cookies and tracking technologies: Our site uses cookies set by Google Analytics and our affiliate partners. These help us understand traffic patterns and track affiliate referrals. See the Cookies section below for details.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • Newsletter: Your email address is used solely to send you our weekly newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time with one click.
  • Analytics: We use aggregated, anonymized analytics data to understand which content is useful, improve the website, and make better content decisions.
  • Affiliate tracking: When you click an affiliate link, our affiliate partners may set a cookie on your browser to track whether you sign up for their service. This is how we earn commissions. We do not have access to your account information on those platforms.

3. We Do NOT Sell Your Data

Let's be crystal clear: we do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information to anyone. Period. Your email address stays between you, us, and Buttondown (our newsletter provider). Your browsing data is anonymized through Google Analytics and is never tied to your identity.

4. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Here are the types we use:

  • Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*): These track anonymized usage data like page views and session duration. They expire after 2 years or when you clear your browser data.
  • Affiliate tracking cookies:When you click an affiliate link, the affiliate network (such as Impact.com, Awin, ShareASale, or a platform's in-house program) may set a cookie to attribute your signup. These cookies have varying durations depending on the affiliate program (typically 30-90 days).

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect affiliate link tracking but will not impact your ability to read our content.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Google Analytics 4: For website analytics. Google's Privacy Policy
  • Buttondown: For newsletter delivery. Buttondown's Privacy Policy
  • Affiliate networks: Impact.com, Awin, ShareASale, and individual platform affiliate programs. Each has their own privacy policy governing cookie and data use.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

6. Data Retention

  • Email addresses: Retained as long as you remain subscribed to our newsletter. When you unsubscribe, your email is removed from our active mailing list.
  • Analytics data:Google Analytics data is retained according to Google's data retention settings (default 14 months).

7. Your Privacy Rights (California Residents)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you specific rights:

  • Right to delete: You can request deletion of your personal information (e.g., your email from our newsletter list).
  • Right to opt-out of sale: We do not sell your personal information, so this right is automatically satisfied.

8. Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. Our website uses HTTPS encryption. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
