Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 20, 2025

Welcome to Josh Hudson — my personal blog found at www.joshjhudson.com. This site covers all things personal finance, real estate, and moving — and just like I believe in transparency when it comes to money, I believe in transparency when it comes to your privacy too.

This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your information when you visit or interact with this website.

1. Information I Collect

I may collect information from you in a few different ways:

Directly from you: When you subscribe to a newsletter, download a guide, or fill out a contact form, you might share your name, email address, or other details.
Automatically: Like most websites, I use cookies and analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to see how visitors use the site — things like pages visited, time on page, and general device/browser information.
Affiliate links: Some posts include affiliate links that track clicks or purchases so I can earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you).

2. How I Use Your Information

Your information helps me improve the site and provide more relevant, useful content. I may use it to:

Send you updates, newsletters, or free resources you’ve signed up for
Respond to messages or inquiries
Track and improve website performance and user experience
Monitor affiliate link performance and commissions

I never sell or rent your personal information — ever.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your browser to help the site run smoothly and understand how you use it.
Here’s what I use cookies for:

Understanding which content is most popular
Improving navigation and user experience
Tracking affiliate links and ad performance

You can disable cookies anytime through your browser settings — the site will still work, but some features may be limited.

4. Affiliate Disclosure

This blog participates in various affiliate programs, which means I may earn a small commission if you click on certain links or make a purchase through them.

These programs help keep this site running and allow me to continue creating free content. I only recommend products or services I believe offer genuine value to readers.

5. Email Communication

If you sign up for updates, I’ll occasionally send newsletters or announcements related to personal finance, real estate, or moving resources.
You can unsubscribe anytime using the link at the bottom of any email.

I use reputable email marketing platforms that comply with CAN-SPAM and GDPR standards to securely manage your data.

6. Third-Party Services

I use trusted third-party tools like:

Google Analytics – to understand site performance
Affiliate networks (such as Amazon Associates and others) – to track referrals
Email marketing providers – to manage newsletters and subscriber lists

These third parties may use cookies or tracking pixels, but they only process information as needed to perform their services.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

Access or request a copy of your personal data
Ask for corrections or deletion
Withdraw consent to data use (for example, unsubscribing from emails)

If you’d like to exercise any of these rights, just reach out at info@joshjhudson.com.

8. Data Security

I take reasonable steps to protect your data — including using secure hosting, SSL encryption, and trusted third-party tools.
That said, no online platform is 100% immune from risks, so please use caution when sharing information online.

9. Updates to This Policy

I may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect new features, tools, or legal requirements. The updated date at the top will always show when the latest version was posted.
