Privacy Policy
This policy describes how DebtBridge handles information when you use the website, its calculators, and its editorial pages. The service is designed to minimise personal data collection and to explain clearly where cookies or analytics are involved.
1. Scope of this policy
This policy applies to all public pages on DebtBridge, including the budget planner, debt payoff calculator, blog, about page, and privacy page. It covers information collected automatically through basic website operations and information you choose to submit through any contact form on the site.
2. Information we process
DebtBridge may process limited categories of information such as browser type, device information, approximate location derived from IP, page views, and interaction data related to calculator usage. Calculator inputs are processed in the browser to generate results for the current session.
- Technical data required to deliver pages securely
- Usage data that helps us understand which tools are being used
- Cookie preferences stored on your device
- Any information you choose to include in a web form submission
3. Legal bases for processing
Where GDPR-style standards apply, DebtBridge relies on legitimate interests for essential website operations, consent for non-essential cookies where required, and compliance obligations where records must be retained for security or fraud prevention purposes.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
DebtBridge uses cookies to remember whether you accepted the cookie banner and to support basic measurement of website performance. We do not use cookies to profile users for unrelated advertising purposes inside the website itself.
5. Analytics
We may use privacy-conscious analytics to measure page performance, understand how tools are used, and identify technical issues. Analytics data is reviewed in aggregate where possible. We aim to avoid collecting information that is not necessary for service improvement.
6. Data retention
Technical logs are retained only for as long as necessary for security review, service stability, and abuse monitoring. Cookie preference records remain on the user device until cleared. Form submissions, where present, are retained only for the period required to respond and maintain reasonable records.
7. Sharing of information
DebtBridge may use infrastructure and analytics providers that process limited data on our behalf. We require those providers to handle data under contractual safeguards and only for service delivery, security, or analytics purposes that support the website.
8. International transfers
Where service providers operate in more than one jurisdiction, data may be processed outside the user's country. In those cases, DebtBridge aims to apply appropriate safeguards, including contractual measures and limited data access.
9. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability in relation to personal data. You may also withdraw consent for non-essential cookies. Use the contact form on this page if you wish to make a privacy-related request.
10. Security measures
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the website and any limited data processed through it. No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security, but we review access controls, provider security, and operational practices on a continuing basis.
11. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when legal requirements, service features, or provider arrangements change. The latest version published on this page will apply from the date it appears here.
