Privacy Policy | The Money GPS

This Privacy Policy explains what information The Money GPS ("we", "us") collects when you use themoneygps.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site you consent to the practices described here.

Information we collect

Account data — your email address and authentication details when you create an account (handled by Google Firebase Authentication).
Payment data — handled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number. We retain your subscription status, tier, and customer/subscription IDs.
Email / newsletter — if you subscribe, your email is stored with our email provider (Kit / ConvertKit) to deliver the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Usage & device data — pages viewed, clicks, session identifiers, browser/user-agent, and approximate engagement, collected to improve the product and understand traffic sources. This is processed by Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity (see below).
Cookies / local storage — used for sign-in sessions, attribution (e.g. which link or campaign referred you), and analytics.

How we use it

To provide, maintain, and secure your account and subscription.
To process payments and manage billing through Stripe.
To send the content and emails you signed up for.
To understand how the site is used so we can improve it.
To comply with legal obligations and prevent abuse.

Analytics tools we use

Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymized, aggregated data about how visitors use the site — including pages visited, traffic sources, session duration, and conversion events (e.g. starting checkout or subscribing to the newsletter). GA4 uses cookies to distinguish users and sessions. Google may use this data in accordance with its own Privacy Policy. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Microsoft Clarity

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors interact with the site. Clarity records anonymized session replays (mouse movements, clicks, scrolls) and generates heatmaps so we can identify usability issues and improve the experience. Clarity may collect IP addresses (anonymized), browser and device information, and interaction data. No audio, video, or keystrokes from password fields are captured. Data is processed by Microsoft in accordance with the Microsoft Privacy Statement. By using the site you consent to Microsoft Clarity processing data about your interaction with us. You can opt out via the Microsoft Privacy Choice page.

Third parties we share data with

We use trusted processors to run the service. Each handles your data under its own policy:

Google Firebase / Google Cloud — authentication, database, hosting.
Stripe — payment processing.
Kit (ConvertKit) — email delivery.
Google Analytics 4 — behavioral analytics and traffic attribution.
Microsoft Clarity — session recording and heatmap analytics.

We do not sell your personal information.

Data retention

We keep account and billing data for as long as your account is active and as required for legal and accounting purposes. Raw analytics activity logs are retained on a rolling short-term basis.

Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and you may unsubscribe from emails at any time. To make a request, contact us at support@themoneygps.com or via our contact page.
