Privacy Policy
Last Updated: December 3, 2025
Introduction
At BalancedWealth Journal, we take privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. No legalese gymnastics - just straightforward information.
Information We Collect
Here's what we gather when you use our site:
- What You Tell Us: Your name, email, phone number - anything you share when you contact us or sign up for our newsletter.
- Automatic Stuff: Standard technical info like your IP address, browser type, which pages you visit, and how long you stick around.
- Cookies: Small files that help us remember preferences and understand how people use our site.
How We Use Your Information
We use your data to:

Information Sharing and Disclosure
We don't sell your information. Full stop. We might share it only in these situations:

- Legal Stuff: If the law requires it or someone's safety is at stake.
- Business Changes: If we merge with or get acquired by another company, your data goes with us.
Data Security
We use proper security measures to keep your data safe. That said, nothing online is 100% bulletproof. We do our best, but we can't promise perfect security - nobody can.

- Ask to see what data we have about you
- Fix anything that's wrong or incomplete
