Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites remember information about your visit. We use the following categories of cookies:
- Essential cookies — required for basic site functionality (e.g., remembering your cookie consent choice)
- Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the site (see Google Analytics below)
- Advertising cookies — used by our advertising partners to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance
Managing cookies. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Doing so may affect how parts of the site function. You can also opt out of personalized advertising through industry tools such as the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or Your Ad Choices.
Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Advertising
Google Analytics (GA4). We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site — pages viewed, time on site, traffic sources, and general device/location information. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this data. You can learn more about how Google uses this data at Google’s Privacy & Terms and opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Google Tag Manager. We use Google Tag Manager to manage the various tracking and analytics tags on our site. Google Tag Manager itself does not collect personal information; it triggers other tags (like Google Analytics) according to rules we configure.
Advertising. We display advertising through third-party ad networks [Google AdSense, Ezoic, Mediavine, and other networks]. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can learn more about Google’s advertising practices at Google’s Advertising Policies and manage ad personalization at Google Ad Settings.
Third-Party Links and Services
Our site may contain links to third-party websites, financial products, tools, or services—including, where applicable, affiliate links for which we may earn a commission if you sign up or make a purchase. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, accuracy, or content of any third-party site. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site before providing personal information.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We may share information with:
- Service providers who help operate the site (hosting, analytics, email delivery, ad serving) — these providers only access data needed to perform their function
- Legal authorities when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, safety, or property
- A successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets, in which case visitor data may be among the transferred assets
We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Your Privacy Rights
If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom (GDPR): You have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data, and the right to data portability and to object to processing. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
If you are a California resident (CCPA/CPRA): You have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to request deletion of that information, to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.

Data Retention and Security
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Analytics data is generally retained according to the default retention settings of the tools we use (e.g., Google Analytics).
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
Equity Guy Pro is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
