Please note that this Privacy Policy is applicable only to our online activities and is relevant for visitors to our website in relation to the information they share and/or collect with Ok Save Money. This policy does not extend to information collected offline or through channels other than this website.
About Consent
This Privacy Policy should be read together with the Terms of Use, particularly for legal matters. Both documents encompass Ok Save Money’s stance on the collected information and the obligations stemming from the relationship developed through our website maintenance and your use of it.
It’s important to note that by simply visiting the website, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, you should discontinue using the Ok Save Money website and refrain from accessing its information.
I. Information We Collect
Ok Save Money is a news and promotional site for financial products like credit cards and loans. It’s important to understand that Ok Save Money doesn’t engage in personal contracts with users but advertises these products through news and content.
Any business dealings are independently made between users and Advertising Partners, without Ok Save Money’s involvement in personal or financial information, such as bank details.
Users should be aware that Ok Save Money doesn’t request personal financial information. If you receive such requests (via email, SMS, etc.), contact [email protected] for verification. However, Ok Save Money is not responsible for third-party fraud attempts.
Visiting Ok Save Money may lead to the collection of both identifiable and non-personal user data.
A. INFORMATION WE GATHER DIRECTLY FROM YOU
Ok Save Money does not collect personal information from users simply browsing our website. However, users can register in a restricted area to access exclusive content. This requires voluntarily providing personal details like name, email, phone number, and address.
Collecting this information in the restricted area enables us to deliver exclusive content and verify the user’s identity, whether an individual or a legal entity. This process helps us tailor unique strategies for each user.
Additionally, we may collect personal data if a user contacts us for inquiries or to report issues. In such cases, the data is retained for administrative purposes related to website management.
B. INFORMATION GATHERED AUTOMATICALLY
Ok Save Money collects non-personal data in addition to the personal information provided by users. This data, automatically gathered during a user’s visit, includes IP addresses, browser types, referring/exit pages, ISPs, dates and timestamps, and clickstream data, and is essential for customizing user experiences and guiding advertising strategies.
We also use Cookies and Web Beacons to understand user preferences. These tools track user activity, such as clicks, helping us offer tailored products and services. Users can disable Cookies in their operating system settings, but not doing so implies consent to this collection method.
C. INFORMATION FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES
Ok Save Money produces educational content on financial markets and directs users to the webpages of its Advertising Partners, where they can explore products and services of interest.
It’s important to understand that viewing Ok Save Money’s ads creates a data report for these Advertising Partners. They collect the user’s IP address through Cookies, Web Beacons, and JavaScript technologies to measure ad effectiveness.
The Cookies used by Advertising Partners are beyond Ok Save Money’s control. Users can disable these Cookies via their operating system settings.
Simply redirecting to an Advertising Partner’s page or viewing ads does not establish any relationship. This Privacy Policy applies only to Ok Save Money visitors.
Each website, including those of Advertising Partners, has its own Privacy Policy. Users should familiarize themselves with these policies. Ok Save Money has no control over the registration processes of its Advertising Partners.
As an example, Google, an Advertising Partner of Ok Save Money, uses Dart Cookies for data collection. Users can opt out of Dart Cookies and learn more about Google’s Privacy Policy here:
