Privacy Policy

Information you send us

FedRetire Guide does not require an account. We receive personal information only when you choose to send a message through our contact form. The form asks for your name, email address, a topic, and your message. We use this information only to read and reply to your message.

Server logs and security

Our web hosting provider keeps standard server records, which can include your IP address, the browser and device type, the pages requested, and the time of each request. These records help keep the site running, diagnose problems, and protect against misuse. We do not combine them with other information to identify you.

The contact form includes a hidden spam trap and a limit on how many messages one browser can send in a short period. The server also checks that form submissions come from this website.

Cookies

The site sets one essential session cookie when the contact page loads. It is used only for form security and the message limit described above, and it is removed when you close your browser. See our Cookie Policy for details.

Analytics and advertising

This website does not currently use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads conversion tracking, remarketing, or personalized advertising. We do not sell personal information. If any of these tools are added in the future, this policy will be updated first, and any consent required by law will be requested before they run.
