Privacy Policy

Our privacy-first approach

RetireEarlyGuide.com is designed to respect your privacy. There are no user accounts, no logins and no registration. We collect the minimum amount of information necessary to operate the website.

Information we do not collect

• We do not require you to create an account or provide personal details to read.
• We do not sell your personal information.
• We do not build advertising profiles from account data (we have no accounts).

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic patterns and improve our content. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, approximate location, device and browser type, and how you arrived at the site. This data is used in aggregate and we aim to minimise the collection of personally identifiable information. IP addresses are anonymised by Google Analytics 4 by default.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by blocking cookies in your browser settings. Learn more from Google's Privacy Policy.

Advertising

We may display advertising, including through Google AdSense, to support our free educational content. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can learn about your choices and opt out of personalised advertising through your browser settings and the ad settings of the relevant provider.

Cookies

We use cookies only where required for the website to function or to support the analytics and advertising described above. Where legally required, we will request your consent and provide clear disclosures.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click them, the destination website may set its own cookies. Please review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit. See our disclaimer for our full affiliate disclosure.

Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct or delete it. Because we collect very little personal data, these requests are usually straightforward. To make a request, contact us via the contact page.

Children's privacy

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
