WHO WE ARE
Our website address is: https://simplemoneymap.blog. This site is run by Sam, a blogger focused on helping people save and make money through tips, resources, and personal insights.
WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY
Comments: When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and browser user agent to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (hash) from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. Their privacy policy is at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Email Subscriptions: If you sign up for updates or newsletters, we collect your name and email address. This is used only to send you updates you’ve opted into and will not be shared or sold.
Cookies: This site uses cookies to:
- Save your preferences when commenting,
- Analyze website traffic (via tools like Google Analytics),
- Provide affiliate tracking (e.g., if you click on a referral link).
You can disable cookies in your browser at any time.
EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES
Articles may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, Instagram posts, etc.). These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with the content as if you visited their site directly.
ANALYTICS AND AFFILIATE LINKS
We use analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to understand how our site is used. We may also use affiliate links, which means we earn a small commission if you make a purchase through those links — at no extra cost to you.

We do not sell or share your data with third parties for marketing. Data may be shared with service providers (like email tools, spam filters, or payment processors) solely to operate this site securely and effectively.
HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR DATA
