Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-09

Classbudget covers Classbudget. This page describes the information handled when you read classbudget.com and the control you have over it.

Data Lifespan and Security

Anything we hold has a limited life: it is kept while needed for the purpose it was collected for, then removed or allowed to expire. We use access controls and encryption in transit, and take reasonable steps overall, while being clear that no method of transmission or storage is entirely secure.

Service Providers

The parties that may receive data are our hosting provider, any analytics service in use, the email platform behind the newsletter, and advertising networks where advertising is served. Advertising and analytics vendors generally act as independent controllers; the rest act as processors on our instruction.

Storage on Your Device

There is a dedicated Cookie Policy covering what is stored on your device and how to control it.
Where advertising is served, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Subscribing and Unsubscribing

Mailing-list signup requires confirmation from the address given, which stops anyone subscribing you without your knowledge. Unsubscribe links and a postal address appear in every message, and we do not pass the list to anyone.

Information Received

When you read classbudget.com, our host and any analytics provider we use may log technical details of the request — IP address, user agent, referring URL, pages and timestamps. Separately, you may choose to give us an email address, post a comment, or write to us, and that information is collected too.
On the point most relevant to readers interested in Classbudget — we ask readers not to send us sensitive personal details, and we delete rather than retain anything of that kind that reaches us unprompted.

What It Is Used For

The information is used to keep the site working, to understand which of our guides, comparisons and reference pages are actually read, to send the newsletter to people who asked for it, and — where advertising is served — to support that advertising.

Age Restrictions

Our audience is adult. We do not target children under 13 — under 16 in jurisdictions that set the higher bar — and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If such data is identified, it is removed.

Your Control

Subject to your location, you may request access to your data, its correction or deletion, a portable copy, or restriction of its use, and you may opt out of sale or sharing for advertising. These entitlements flow from the UK/EU GDPR and from US state law including the CCPA/CPRA. Global Privacy Control signals are respected automatically. See our State Privacy Notice and Do Not Sell or Share.

Contact Details

If any of this needs clarifying, or you want to make a request, email hello@classbudget.com.
