Privacy Policy

A legal disclaimer

Last Updated: February 11, 2026

Welcome to FinancialSupportResources.com (the “Site”), operated by Financial Support Resources (“FSR,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit or use the Site and any related services, content, features, newsletters, forms, or communications (collectively, the “Services”).

By using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1) What This Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect:

  • On the Site and through the Services

  • From communications with us (email, forms, newsletter sign-ups)

  • Through advertising and analytics technologies (including cookies and similar tools)

It does not apply to third-party websites, services, or platforms that link to or from our Site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties.

2) Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide to Us

We may collect information you provide voluntarily, including:

  • Contact information (name, email address)

  • Message content you submit via contact forms or emails

  • Newsletter preferences and subscription details

  • Any information you include in a free-text form field (you control what you share)

Do not submit sensitive personal information (e.g., Social Security number, bank account details, health records) through the Site unless we explicitly request it in a secure manner. If you choose to include sensitive information in a message, you do so at your own discretion.

B. Information Collected Automatically

When you access the Site, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect:

  • Device and usage data (IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system)

  • Log data (pages visited, time spent, referring/exit pages, clicks)

  • Approximate location (generally derived from IP address)

  • Cookie and similar technology data (see Section 5)

C. Information from Third Parties

We may receive information from:

  • Advertising partners (e.g., ad measurement and reporting)

  • Analytics providers

  • Social platforms if you interact with our social pages (subject to those platforms’ policies)

3) How We Use Information

We use information to:

  1. Provide and operate the Services

  2. Improve site content, user experience, accessibility, and performance

  3. Communicate with you (respond to requests; send newsletters if you opt in)

  4. Maintain security, prevent fraud, abuse, and policy violations

  5. Measure and optimize advertising performance and revenue

  6. Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms

We may use data in aggregated or de-identified form for analytics, research, and reporting.

4) Advertising, Analytics, and Monetization

The Site may display ads and use analytics tools. These third parties may use cookies, pixels, SDKs, or similar technologies to collect information about your device and browsing activity over time and across websites or apps.

A. Google AdSense and Ad Partners

We may use Google and other advertising partners to serve ads. These partners may:

  • Use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this Site and/or other sites

  • Collect information for ad delivery, reporting, fraud prevention, and measurement

  • Provide interest-based advertising (where permitted by law and based on your choices)

You can manage ad personalization via relevant platform settings and/or cookie controls described below.

B. Analytics

We may use analytics providers to understand how users engage with the Site (e.g., page views, clicks, time on page). Analytics tools may also use cookies or similar technologies.

5) Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixels, tags, local storage) for:

  • Essential site operations

  • Analytics and performance

  • Advertising and measurement

  • Remembering preferences (where applicable)

Your Choices

Depending on your location, you may be presented with a cookie banner or consent tool. You can also:

  • Adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies

  • Use browser “Do Not Track” controls (see Section 11)

Blocking cookies may impact site functionality and may reduce the relevance of ads.

 

6) How We Share Information

We may share information:

  1. With service providers that help operate our Services (e.g., email delivery, hosting, analytics, security, ad tech). They may access information only to perform services for us and are obligated to protect it.

  2. With advertising and analytics partners for ad delivery, measurement, and optimization.

  3. For legal and safety reasons: to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights and safety, prevent fraud, or enforce policies.

  4. In business transfers: if we undergo a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

  5. With your consent: if you explicitly authorize sharing.

We do not sell your personal information in the sense of handing over your name/email for someone else’s direct marketing. However, some privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly to include certain advertising technologies. We address those rights in Section 9.

 

7) Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for:

  • The purposes described in this Policy

  • Legitimate business needs (e.g., security logs, recordkeeping)

  • Legal obligations and dispute resolution

Retention periods vary depending on data type and purpose.

 

8) Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

 

9) Privacy Rights and Choices (U.S. State Laws, EEA/UK, and Similar Frameworks)

A. U.S. State Privacy Disclosures (e.g., CA/CO/CT/UT/VA and others)

Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights to:

  • Access and receive a copy of certain personal information

  • Correct inaccuracies

  • Delete certain personal information

  • Opt out of certain processing (including targeted advertising and certain “sales”/“sharing”)

  • Limit the use of certain sensitive personal information (where applicable)

  • Non-discrimination for exercising your rights

Opt-out of targeted advertising / sale / sharing:
If we use advertising technologies that qualify as “targeted advertising” or “sale/sharing” under certain laws, you can opt out by using any cookie/consent tool we provide (if available) and/or by contacting us (see Section 13). You may also use browser-based opt-out signals where supported (see below).

 

B. EEA/UK (GDPR) Notice (If Applicable)

If you are in the EEA/UK, we process personal data under one or more legal bases, including:

  • Consent (e.g., email newsletters; certain cookies where required)

  • Legitimate interests (e.g., site security, analytics, improving Services, non-intrusive measurement)

  • Contract (where applicable if you request a service)

  • Legal obligation

You may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object, and data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time (without affecting prior processing).

 

C. Authorized Agent Requests (Where Permitted)

In certain jurisdictions, you may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. We may require proof of authorization and identity verification.

 

10) Children’s Privacy

The Services are not intended for children under 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

 

11) Do Not Track and Global Privacy Controls

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no consistent industry standard, the Site may not respond to all such signals.

If a legally recognized opt-out preference signal (such as a “Global Privacy Control” signal) is detected and applicable law requires recognition, we will make reasonable efforts to honor it for covered activities, subject to technical feasibility and our service providers’ capabilities.

 

12) International Transfers

If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries where we or our service providers operate. Those countries may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.

Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international data transfers.

 

13) Contact Us

To ask questions or submit a privacy request, contact us at:

14) Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top indicates when changes were made. Continued use of the Services after changes become effective means you accept the updated Policy.
