Welcome to Hustle and Sparkle! Your privacy matters to me, and I want to be completely transparent about how this blog handles your information. This policy explains what data is collected, how it’s used, and what your rights are — in plain English, not legal jargon.
Who runs this blog?
Hustle and Sparkle is run by Mo. If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how your data is handled, you can reach me via the Contact page.
What information is collected?
1. Information you give me directly
When you interact with Hustle and Sparkle, you may voluntarily provide:
- Your name and email address — when you sign up for the newsletter or submit a contact form
- Your comment name and email — if you leave a comment on a blog post
- Any other information you choose to include in a message to me
I will never ask for more information than is needed, and I will never sell your details to anyone. Ever.
2. Information collected automatically
Like most websites, Hustle and Sparkle automatically collects some basic technical information when you visit, including:
- Your IP address
- Browser type and version
- Pages you visit and how long you spend on them
- How you arrived at the blog (e.g. from Google or social media)
This information is collected through WordPress.com and Google Analytics (if enabled) and is used only to understand how readers use the blog so I can make it better.
3. Cookies
Hustle and Sparkle uses cookies — small text files stored on your device. These are used for:
- Keeping the blog running smoothly (essential cookies)
- Understanding how visitors use the site (analytics cookies)
- Remembering your preferences
You can control cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the blog work.
How is your information used?
Your information is used only for the following purposes:
- To send you the newsletter — if you signed up, I’ll send you money tips, style inspo, and blog updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every email.
- To respond to your messages — if you contact me, I’ll use your details to reply.
- To improve the blog — anonymous analytics help me understand what content is most useful to readers.
- To moderate comments — email addresses left with comments are used only to notify you of replies, never for marketing.
Email newsletter
If you subscribe to the Hustle and Sparkle newsletter, your email address is stored securely through WordPress.com’s built-in subscription system.
- You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email
- I will never share your email address with third parties
- I will never send spam — only content related to money tips, saving, and style
Affiliate links
Some posts on Hustle and Sparkle may contain affiliate links. This means if you click a link and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
I only recommend products and services I genuinely believe in. Affiliate links will always be clearly disclosed at the top of any post that contains them.
Third-party services
Hustle and Sparkle is hosted on WordPress.com, which has its own privacy policy. I also use:
- Google Analytics — to track anonymous visitor statistics
- Google AdSense — to display ads on the blog (when enabled). Google may use cookies to serve relevant ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
- Canva — for creating blog graphics
- Rakuten / Awin / Amazon Associates — affiliate networks that may use cookies to track referrals
Each of these services has its own privacy policy and handles data independently of Hustle and Sparkle.
Sharing your information
I do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to anyone. Your data may only be shared in the following very limited circumstances:
- If required by law
- To protect the rights or safety of Hustle and Sparkle or its readers
How long is your data kept?
- Newsletter subscribers — your email is kept until you unsubscribe
- Contact form messages — kept for as long as needed to respond, then deleted
- Comments — kept as long as the blog post exists, unless you request removal
Your rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information I hold about you
- Correct any information that is inaccurate
- Request deletion of your personal data
- Unsubscribe from emails at any time
- Object to your data being used for analytics
To exercise any of these rights, contact me via the Contact page and I’ll respond as soon as possible.
Children’s privacy
Hustle and Sparkle is intended for adults. I do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to this blog, please contact me and I will delete it immediately.
