If you use CollegeBudgetHacks.com without signing up for anything, we collect very little: anonymous analytics (which pages you visit, general geographic region, device type) via privacy-respecting analytics. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites.
If you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address. That's it. We don't ask for your name, school, or anything else.
If you contact us via our contact form, we collect whatever you put in that form so we can reply to you.
Some outbound links are affiliate links. When you click one and sign up or buy, the destination site may set its own cookies. We don't control those — read the destination site's privacy policy for details.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter in one click using the link at the bottom of any email. You can request deletion of any data we hold about you by emailing privacy@collegebudgethacks.com. We'll respond within 30 days.
If we materially change this policy, we'll note it at the top of this page. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated version.
