Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information BudgetBirdie ("we," "us") collects when you visit budgetbirdie.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep this deliberately simple, because we collect very little.
Information we collect
- Analytics data: basic, aggregated information about how visitors use the site (pages viewed, general location, device/browser type). This helps us understand what content is useful. It does not personally identify you.
- Email address: only if you choose to subscribe to our newsletter. We use it solely to send you our gear emails, and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
- Cookies: small files stored by your browser. We (and our partners) use them for analytics and for affiliate tracking (see below).
Affiliate links and cookies
BudgetBirdie contains affiliate links. When you click one, the retailer (for example, Amazon or a golf brand) may place a cookie on your device so they can credit us if you make a purchase. These cookies are set by those third parties and governed by their own privacy policies. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more.
How we use information
- To operate and improve the website and its content.
- To send our newsletter to subscribers who opted in.
- To measure which articles and products are helpful to readers.
We do not sell your personal information.
Third-party services
We rely on reputable third parties to run the site — including our web host, our email/newsletter provider, analytics, and affiliate networks. Each processes data under its own privacy policy.
Your choices
- You can unsubscribe from emails at any time.
- You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings (some features may work less smoothly).
- You may request that we delete any personal information we hold about you by emailing us.
Children
This site is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the latest version.

This is a general, good-faith privacy policy template, not legal advice. If you later collect more data or expand internationally, have it reviewed for GDPR/CCPA specifics.
