1. Scope and definitions

This policy applies to moneysweep.co, guide.moneysweep.co, and any subdomains, sub-pages, emails, and PDF resources we publish. It does not apply to third-party government agency websites we link to, which have their own policies.

"Personal information" means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be linked with you, as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020), and equivalent definitions under other privacy laws applicable to where you live.

2. What we collect

We collect only what you provide voluntarily and what is required to operate the service.

From watchlist signup (guide.moneysweep.co)

From email engagement

What we do not collect on this site

Inside the authenticated app (post-launch): certain features may require additional information that is sensitive (for example, prior names or addresses to improve match accuracy). When that happens, we will request explicit consent at the point of collection, explain why it is needed, and provide an option to skip the feature if you decline. We will never request information you do not need to provide for the feature you are using.

3. How we use it

We use the information we collect to:

We do not use your information to train AI/ML models, build third-party advertising profiles, or sell to data brokers.

4. How we share it

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only in the following narrow situations:

  1. Service providers who process data on our behalf under standard data processing agreements (see Vendors below).
  2. Legal compliance: when required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of MoneySweep, our users, or the public.
  3. Business transfer: if MoneySweep is acquired or merged, your information may be transferred to the acquirer subject to this policy. We will notify affected users via email at least 30 days before any such transfer takes effect, where the law allows.

5. Categories of service providers

We use third-party service providers to operate the service. Each receives only the minimum information required to perform its function under standard data processing agreements. We disclose the categories below; specific vendor names are kept confidential for operational security.

If you need the specific identity of any service provider for a privacy or security request, contact privacy@moneysweep.co and we will provide it under a confidentiality understanding.

6. Cookies and tracking

We use a minimal set of first-party cookies and similar technologies:

We do not use third-party advertising cookies on this site. We do not participate in any advertising network's audience matching or retargeting on the marketing site.

9. Your rights

If you live in California (CCPA / CPRA)

You have the right to:

To exercise: email privacy@moneysweep.co. We respond within 45 days. We may extend by another 45 days with notice.

If you live in the EU/UK (GDPR / UK GDPR)

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, and port your personal data, and to object to processing. The lawful bases we rely on are: consent (for marketing), contract (for delivering the service you signed up for), and legitimate interest (for fraud prevention and security). You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. Email privacy@moneysweep.co to exercise rights.

If you live in another US state with a privacy law (CO, CT, VA, UT, OR, TX, etc.)

You have rights substantially similar to California. Same email contact, same response window.

Universal: opt-out signals

We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a request to opt out of sale/sharing for browsers that send it.

10. Children and minors

MoneySweep is not directed at children under 18 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact privacy@moneysweep.co and we will delete it promptly.

11. Changes to this policy

Material changes will be notified to active subscribers via email at least 14 days before they take effect. Non-material changes (formatting, clarifications, vendor list updates) will be reflected here without separate notice but will be timestamped in the meta line at the bottom of this page.
