Personal Finance Standards is an independent resource maintained by Lyfe Course. We collect only the information needed to operate, understand, and improve the site or respond when you contact us.
Information we collect
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting and security providers may receive technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, referring page, and the date and time of a request. This information is generally used to deliver the site, maintain security, and diagnose technical problems.
Analytics
The site does not load analytics, advertising, tag-manager, session-recording, or social-tracking scripts. Core browsing, state search, downloads, and navigation do not depend on tracking services.
Correction submissions
The correction form prepares an email in your own email application. The website does not transmit or store the form contents. If you send that email, we receive the information you choose to include through our email provider.
How we use information
We may use information to:
- Provide, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the website.
- Understand which pages and resources are useful to visitors.
- Review corrections and supporting sources.
- Respond to questions or requests.
- Improve the site’s research, navigation, and accessibility.
- Comply with legal obligations and protect the rights and safety of the site, Lyfe Course, and others.
We do not sell personal information. We do not use correction submissions to add visitors to marketing lists.
Data retention
We keep correction emails and related correspondence only as long as reasonably necessary to review the issue, maintain an accurate research record, respond to follow-up questions, and meet legal or operational requirements. Hosting and security logs are retained according to the hosting provider’s operational settings.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect information. No website, email system, or transmission method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not submit sensitive personal information through the correction form.
Children’s privacy
This site provides general educational-policy information and is not designed to collect personal information from children under 13. Visitors can use the site without an account. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it when appropriate.
Your choices
- You may browse the site without submitting the correction form.
- You may block or delete cookies using your browser controls.
- You may block cookies and third-party requests without losing access to core site content.
- You may contact us to ask about, correct, or request deletion of personal information you submitted directly to us, subject to legal and operational requirements.
Third-party links
The site links to state agencies, legislatures, official publications, and Lyfe Course. Those sites are opened only when you choose a link, and their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the site, its service providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when material revisions are published.
