Privacy Policy

At Economy Talking we respect your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it and your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws. By using our website, you agree to the terms of this policy.

Information We Collect

We collect personal data that you voluntarily provide—for example, when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us via our form. This may include your name and email address. We also collect non‑personal data automatically through cookies and similar technologies to improve site performance and display relevant advertisements.

As required by Google’s EU User Consent Policy, we use a Google‑certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) to obtain consent for personalised advertising. Traffic from the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland will see a consent banner. Personalised ads will only be served if you consent.

How We Use Information

We use your personal data to send you newsletters, respond to inquiries and provide services you request. Non‑personal data is used to analyse website traffic, deliver ads through Google AdSense and measure the effectiveness of our content. We never sell your data to third parties.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, pixels and local storage to remember your preferences and to deliver personalised advertising. You can control cookie settings through the CMP or your browser settings. For more information on cookies, please refer to Google’s policies and the settings within our CMP.

GDPR Rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the right to access, rectify or erase your personal data, restrict processing, object to processing and request data portability. To exercise these rights, please contact us via the form on the Contact page. You may also withdraw your consent for personalised ads at any time through the CMP interface.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy and to comply with legal obligations. When we no longer need your data, we will securely delete or anonymise it.

Third‑Party Services

Our site uses Google AdSense for monetisation. AdSense may collect information to tailor ads to your interests. For personalised ads, AdSense requires us to obtain user consent via a CMP. Please review Google’s privacy policy for more details. We also use analytics services such as Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our site. These services may set cookies or collect anonymised data. Our site contains external links; we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites.

Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, alteration or destruction. However, no internet transmission is completely secure. Please use caution when sharing personal information online.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in regulations or our practices. We will notify users of significant changes through our website. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last updated.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, rectify inaccuracies, erase your data, restrict or object to processing and receive your data in a portable format. To exercise these rights, please contact us through the form on our Contact page. We will respond within 30 days and endeavour to fulfil your request unless legal obligations prevent us from doing so. You can also manage your cookie preferences at any time by adjusting settings in the consent banner or through your browser.

International Data Transfers

Our servers are located in the European Union. If you access our site from outside the EU, your data may be transferred internationally. We use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses to ensure that your information is protected when transferred across borders. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your data to countries that may have different data protection standards.

Children’s Privacy

Economy Talking does not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 16. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us immediately so that we can remove such information.
