When you visit Counted Wealth, I want you to know what information the website may receive, why it may be collected, and what happens if you contact me directly.
This Privacy Policy covers ordinary website visits, technical operation, cookies and third-party services, and information readers choose to send.
Who Operates Counted Wealth
Counted Wealth is available at countedwealth.com.
Questions about privacy can be sent to [email protected]
The legal name and business details of the website operator should be added before publication:
Information You Send Me
If you contact me by email, I receive the email address you use along with any name, message, attachment, or other information you include.
I may use that information to reply, review a correction, consider a topic suggestion, respond to a business inquiry, or deal with another issue related to Counted Wealth.
Because this is a finance website, please do not send sensitive information through ordinary email. That includes bank account numbers, credit card details, Social Security numbers, tax documents, login credentials, investment account information, or other private financial records.
I do not need that information to answer ordinary questions about the site.
Technical Information
Like most websites, Counted Wealth relies on hosting and technical services that may process basic information when someone visits.
That information can include:
- IP address
- Browser type
- Device type
- Operating system
- Referring website
- Pages visited
- Date and time of access
- Basic security and server-log information
Technical data can be used to deliver pages, keep the website running, diagnose errors, protect against abuse, and investigate suspicious activity.
The exact information stored and how long it remains available depend on the hosting and technical services connected to the website.
Cookies
Counted Wealth may use cookies or similar technologies.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. Others may be used by analytics, advertising, affiliate, or other third-party services.
Depending on which services are active, cookies can help with things such as:
- Remembering website settings
- Measuring traffic
- Understanding how readers use the site
- Preventing fraud or abuse
- Displaying advertising
- Measuring advertising performance
- Tracking qualifying affiliate referrals
The final published version of this policy should reflect the tools actually being used on the website:
Where applicable law requires consent before nonessential cookies are used, visitors should be given the appropriate choice.
Analytics
Counted Wealth may use analytics tools to understand how people find and use the website.
Analytics can show information such as which pages receive the most visits, how readers move through the site, what type of device they use, and how long pages are viewed.
I use that information to understand what readers find useful and where the site can be improved.
Analytics providers may process information under their own privacy policies.
Advertising and Affiliate Tracking
Counted Wealth may display advertising or use affiliate links.
Advertising networks and affiliate platforms can use cookies, tracking links, device information, or similar technologies to measure ad performance and determine whether a qualifying action came through Counted Wealth.
If advertising or affiliate services are active, the relevant providers should be identified here:
A commercial relationship does not change the editorial standards used on the site.
How Long Information Is Kept
Reader emails and other direct correspondence are kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the conversation, keep appropriate records, deal with security issues, or meet legal obligations.
Hosting logs, analytics information, advertising data, and other technical records may follow different retention periods set by the relevant provider.
The site’s actual retention settings should be confirmed before publication:
External Links
Counted Wealth links to other websites throughout its articles.
Those can include government agencies, regulators, financial institutions, public companies, research organizations, data providers, news publications, and other sources.
Once you leave Counted Wealth, the privacy practices of the website you visit apply.
I do not control how an external website collects or uses information. If you plan to submit personal or financial information elsewhere, check that website’s privacy policy first.
Your Privacy Rights
Privacy rights depend on where you live and which laws apply.
Depending on your location, you may have rights involving:
- Access to personal information
- Correction of inaccurate information
- Deletion
- Restriction of certain processing
- Objection to certain uses of data
- Data portability
- Information about how personal data is collected and used
- Withdrawal of consent where processing depends on consent
Privacy requests can be sent to:
Requests will be reviewed and handled according to the law that applies to the request.
Children’s Privacy
Counted Wealth is intended for a general audience and is not directed specifically at children under 13.
If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the website, contact me so it can be reviewed and removed where required.
Data Security
Reasonable steps should be taken to protect information handled through Counted Wealth.
No website or online service can guarantee complete security. Hosting platforms, email providers, analytics tools, advertising systems, and other internet services all carry some level of risk.
That is another reason not to send sensitive financial information through ordinary email.
Do Not Track and Privacy Signals
Some browsers and devices provide privacy signals or settings intended to limit tracking.
How Counted Wealth responds to those signals depends on the technical services used by the website and the legal requirements that apply.
If the site supports specific privacy signals, that information should be added here:
