Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Blaze & Budget (“we”), published by Type 5 Marketing LLC, handles information when you visit this site. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run a content website, and we do not sell your personal information.

Information we collect

• Analytics data.We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful and how the site is performing. It collects standard, largely anonymized data such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser, and referring site. We use it in aggregate; we don’t use it to identify you personally.
• Contact form data. If you message us through the contact form, we receive the name, email and message you provide, so we can reply. We use it only to respond to you.
• Server logs. Our hosting provider may keep standard technical logs (such as IP address and request time) for security and reliability.

Cookies and affiliate links

Analytics uses cookies or similar technology to function. When you click an affiliate link and buy from a retailer such as Amazon, that retailer may set its own cookie to credit the referral — this is how we earn a commission at no extra cost to you (see our affiliate disclosure). Those cookies are governed by the retailer’s own privacy policy, not ours. You can control or block cookies in your browser settings.

How we use information

We use the information above to operate and improve the site, respond to your messages, keep the site secure, and understand aggregate traffic. We do not use it for automated decision-making that affects you, and we do not build advertising profiles about you.

Sharing

We don’t sell or rent your personal information. We share data only with the service providers that make the site work — our analytics provider (Google), our hosting and email-delivery providers — and only as needed for them to provide their service, or where required by law.

Your choices

• You can block or delete cookies in your browser, and use browser add-ons to opt out of Google Analytics.
• You can ask us what personal data we hold about you (realistically, just any contact message you sent) and ask us to delete it, by emailing info@blazeandbudget.com.

Children

This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the site evolves; material changes will be reflected here. For any privacy question, contact us at info@blazeandbudget.com or through the contact page.
