1) Who We Are (Controller / Business)

Controller (EU/UK GDPR): Make Moneyq

Business (CCPA/CPRA): Make Moneyq

Email: admin@makemoneyq.com

Online contact: via the Site’s contact form (or other published contact methods)

Operational note: If Make Moneyq operates through a legal entity (company name, registered address, VAT/registration number), add those details here for stronger GDPR transparency.

2) What We Collect (Categories of Data)

We collect information in three main ways: (a) you provide it, (b) we collect it automatically, and (c) we receive it from third parties.

A) Information you provide directly

  • Contact details: name, email address, and any info you include in messages (e.g., contact forms, support requests).
  • Subscription data: email address and preferences for newsletters/updates.
  • User-generated content: comments you post, including the username you provide and the content of your comment.
  • Transaction-related details (if applicable): if you purchase a product/service from us, we may receive limited order metadata (e.g., purchase confirmation, product name). We typically do not store full payment card details if payments are processed by a third-party payment provider.

B) Information collected automatically (online identifiers & usage data)

When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect:

  • Device and browser data: device type, operating system, browser type, language settings.
  • Usage data: pages viewed, time on page, referring/exit pages, clicks, scrolls, link interactions.
  • Log data: approximate location (derived from IP), IP address, timestamps, error logs, performance data.
  • Cookie and tracking data: cookie IDs, advertising IDs, analytics tags, and similar identifiers.

C) Information from third parties

Depending on how the Site is configured, we may receive information from:

  • Analytics providers (traffic and event analytics).
  • Advertising networks (interest-based advertising performance).
  • Affiliate networks (click attribution and related attribution data).
  • Email service providers (delivery, opens/clicks if tracking is enabled).
  • Social platforms (embedded content interactions, share buttons).

3) Why We Use Your Data (Purposes)

  • Operate and maintain the Site (performance, debugging, security, fraud prevention).
  • Provide content and features you request (comments, downloads, resources).
  • Respond to inquiries and provide support.
  • Send newsletters/marketing if you opt in (and to manage preferences/unsubscribes).
  • Analyze traffic and improve content, user experience, and conversion performance.
  • Measure advertising and affiliate performance and improve monetization.
  • Comply with legal obligations (recordkeeping, lawful requests).

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

  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): marketing emails, non-essential cookies where required, certain tracking technologies.
  • Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): to deliver a product/service you request.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): site security, analytics (where allowed), improving content, measuring performance, preventing abuse—balanced against your rights.
  • Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): compliance, recordkeeping, responding to lawful requests.

You can withdraw consent at any time (see Section 10).

5) Cookies & Tracking Technologies

What cookies are

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We may also use pixels, tags, local storage, SDKs, and similar technologies.

Cookie categories (typical)

Depending on your settings and region, we may use:

  1. Strictly Necessary Cookies — used for core site functions (security, basic preferences). These are usually always on.
  2. Performance / Analytics Cookies — help us understand how users use the Site (traffic sources, page performance, conversions).
  3. Functional Cookies — remember preferences and enhance functionality.
  4. Advertising / Targeting Cookies — used by advertising partners to deliver interest-based ads and measure ad performance.
  5. Affiliate Tracking — affiliate networks may set cookies or similar methods to attribute a purchase to a referral link.

Managing cookies

  • You can control cookies through browser settings and, where implemented, a cookie banner/consent tool.
  • If you block cookies, some site features may not work properly.
  • For EU/UK visitors, where required, non-essential cookies should only be used after consent.

Cookie Consent & Preferences (Recommended Site Block)

We use cookies to improve Site performance, understand usage, and support advertising/affiliate tracking where applicable. You can manage your preferences using our cookie banner (if shown) and your browser settings.

If you are in the EEA/UK, non-essential cookies will be used only after consent where legally required.

6) Affiliate Links, Advertising, and Third-Party Content

Make Moneyq may monetize via affiliate links and/or advertising.

  • Affiliate links: When you click an affiliate link, the partner may collect data to track referrals and purchases (often via cookies or similar tech). We don’t control third-party practices.
  • Advertising partners: Ad networks may collect device/usage identifiers to show ads and measure performance.
  • Embedded content: Third-party embeds (videos, social posts, widgets) can collect data as if you visited the third-party site directly.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of those third parties.

7) Sharing of Personal Information (Third Parties)

We share personal information only as needed, typically with:

  • Hosting and infrastructure providers (website hosting, CDN, security services).
  • Analytics providers (measurement and performance).
  • Email and communication providers (newsletter delivery, customer support).
  • Advertising partners (ad delivery and measurement).
  • Affiliate networks (click attribution and reporting).
  • Professional advisors (legal/accounting) under confidentiality.
  • Authorities when required to comply with law, enforce rights, prevent fraud/security issues.

No “Selling” of data (CCPA/CPRA clarification)

Under some privacy laws, “sell” can include sharing identifiers for cross-context behavioral advertising. If we use advertising cookies/partners, that may be considered “selling” or “sharing” under CPRA definitions even if money doesn’t change hands.

California Opt-Out (Recommended Site Block)

California residents can opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (as defined by CPRA) for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Implementation: Add a footer link labeled “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” that opens your consent/preferences panel or opt-out flow. If you support recognized opt-out preference signals (e.g., Global Privacy Control), state that clearly in your cookie tool settings and honor it where applicable.

8) Data Retention (How Long We Keep It)

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Typical retention examples:

  • Contact inquiries: up to 24 months after resolution (unless ongoing issues require longer).
  • Email subscription data: until you unsubscribe, plus a limited time to maintain suppression lists to respect opt-outs.
  • Analytics data: typically 14–26 months, depending on configuration.
  • Security logs: typically 30–180 days, depending on risk and system needs.
  • Legal/compliance records: as required by law (e.g., tax/accounting retention rules).

We may anonymize or aggregate data so it is no longer identifiable; we can keep that longer.

9) Security Measures

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information, such as:

  • HTTPS encryption in transit
  • Access controls and least-privilege access
  • Security monitoring and malware protections (where implemented)
  • Regular software updates and patching practices

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. You use the Site at your own risk.

10) Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location and circumstances, you may have the right to:

  • Data portability
  • Withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent)
  • Lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority (DPA)

  • Even if you unsubscribe, we may still send non-marketing messages (service notices, legal updates).

D) How to exercise your rights

Email admin@makemoneyq.com with the subject line: “Privacy Request”.

Include your name (and the email used on the Site), what you’re requesting (access, deletion, correction, etc.), and any relevant context (e.g., comment username, subscription email). We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling the request.

11) International Transfers

If you access the Site from outside the country where our servers or service providers operate, your information may be transferred internationally.

For EEA/UK users: where we transfer personal data to countries without an adequacy decision, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and/or other lawful transfer mechanisms, plus supplementary measures where appropriate.

12) Children’s Privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 13 (and under 16 where applicable by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided us personal information, contact admin@makemoneyq.com and we will take steps to delete it.

13) Breach Notification

If we become aware of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to individuals’ rights and freedoms, we will investigate and contain the incident and notify affected users and/or regulators when required by applicable law. Where appropriate, we will provide guidance on protective steps.

14) Third-Party Websites

The Site may link to third-party websites (tools, offers, affiliate partners). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before providing personal data.

15) Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, or business practices. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes may be highlighted or notified where required.

16) Severability

If any part of this Policy is found unenforceable, the remaining sections will continue in full force and effect.

17) Jurisdiction / Governing Law

This Policy is governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where Make Moneyq is established, unless applicable privacy laws in your location require otherwise (e.g., GDPR/UK GDPR for EEA/UK users, CPRA for California residents).

Action item: For maximum enforceability, replace the sentence above with a specific governing law and venue (example: “Italy; courts of [City]”). Use your actual business jurisdiction.
