This Privacy Policy explains what information The Money Watch (https://themoneywatch.com) collects when you visit, how it is used, and the choices you have. It was last updated on September 14, 2026.
Who runs this site
The Money Watch is an independent publication operated by Eric Dawson. For any privacy question, contact admin@themoneywatch.com.
Information collected automatically
Like almost every website, the hosting server records standard access logs: your IP address, browser type, the pages you request, the referring page, and the time of each request. These logs are used to keep the site running, to diagnose problems, and to block abusive traffic. They are retained for a limited period by the hosting provider and are not sold or shared for marketing.
Cookies
The site sets only functional cookies. WordPress may set a cookie to remember a preference such as a closed notice, and the server’s page cache may set a cookie that helps deliver pages faster. None of these track you across other websites. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings without losing access to any article.
Analytics
Traffic is measured through search engine webmaster tools, which report aggregate figures such as which queries led visitors here. If a separate analytics service is added in future, this policy will be updated to name it and explain how to opt out.
Advertising and affiliate links
As of September 14, 2026, The Money Watch does not run third-party advertising. Some articles may contain links to retailers or services. If any of those links become affiliate links that earn a commission, the article will say so, and the affiliate network’s own privacy policy will govern any data it collects when you click through.
Information you send us
If you email admin@themoneywatch.com, your name, address, and message are kept only as long as needed to reply and to keep a record of corrections. They are never added to a mailing list without your explicit consent.
Embedded content
Articles may embed videos or maps from other services such as YouTube. Embedded content behaves as if you had visited that service directly, and the service may collect data and set its own cookies.
Children
The site is written for a general adult audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.
Your rights
You can ask what personal data the site holds about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and object to its use, by emailing admin@themoneywatch.com. Requests are answered within 30 days.
Changes to this policy
Any change will be posted on this page with a new date at the top.
