Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and the rights you have over your data.
Effective: 1 March 2026 | finlyinsights.com
1. Who We Are
Finly Insights is an independent digital publication operated by Finly Insights Media. This privacy policy applies to all pages and features available at finlyinsights.com. For questions about how we handle your data, contact us at info@finlyinsights.com or through our contact page.
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly: When you use our contact form or newsletter subscription, we collect the name and email address you submit. We do not request or store payment information.
Information collected automatically: When you visit the site, our hosting infrastructure and analytics tools automatically log standard technical data — your approximate IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and time spent on each page. This data does not identify you personally.
Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies for three purposes: measuring how articles are read (analytics), personalising advertisements (advertising), and remembering your site preferences (functional). You can manage cookie preferences using the consent banner displayed on your first visit, or by adjusting your browser settings.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to: respond to your enquiries; send newsletters to subscribers who have opted in; analyse how content is used so we can improve it; display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense and its partners; and comply with legal obligations we may be subject to.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties, and we do not use it for automated decision-making that would have a legal or similarly significant effect on you.
4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads based on your interests and prior browsing activity. This may involve the use of your data across websites that participate in Google’s advertising network.
You can review Google’s advertising privacy practices and opt out of interest-based ads at Google Ads Settings. You may also manage preferences via the Your Online Choices tool (EU) or aboutads.info (US).
5. Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our content. Data collected by Google Analytics is anonymised — we do not have access to personally identifiable information from this service. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Data Retention
Contact form submissions are retained for up to 24 months and then securely deleted unless ongoing correspondence requires longer retention. Newsletter subscription data is held for as long as you remain subscribed. You may withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing or contacting us directly.
7. Your Rights
Depending on where you are located, you may have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate data; request deletion of your data; object to or restrict certain types of processing; and receive a portable copy of your data.
To exercise any of these rights, email info@finlyinsights.com. We will respond within 30 days. If you are in the UK or EU, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.
8. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the data we hold. Our site uses HTTPS encryption for all connections. However, no method of internet transmission is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when our practices change or when required to do so by law. The date at the top of this page reflects when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
10. Contact Us
If you have questions or concerns about this policy, contact us at info@finlyinsights.com or via our contact page.
