1099wealth (“we”, “our”, “the site”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide directly. If you contact us through our contact form or by email, we receive your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We use this only to respond to you.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we collect standard technical data when you visit: your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, time spent, and referring site. We collect this through:
- Google Analytics — to understand which content is useful so we can make more of it. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized where possible.
- Server logs — kept by our hosting provider for security and troubleshooting.
Cookies and advertising. We use cookies to remember basic preferences and to measure traffic. If and when we display advertising (for example, through Google AdSense), Google and its partners may use cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google’s Ads Settings. Learn more in Google’s Privacy & Terms.
2. How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the site and its content
- Respond to your messages
- Monitor for security issues, spam, and abuse
- Measure readership in aggregate (we never sell personal data)
We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
3. Sharing
We share data only with the service providers required to run the site: our hosting company, Google Analytics, and (once enabled) Google AdSense. These providers process data under their own privacy policies. We may disclose information if required by law.
4. Data retention
Contact-form messages are kept for as long as needed to handle your inquiry. Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics’ standard retention settings.
5. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us through our Contact page and we will respond within a reasonable time.
6. Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
7. External links
Our articles link to external sites (IRS.gov, brokerages, and others). We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be noted here with a new effective date.
9. Contact
