Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 9, 2025

At Investozora, we deeply value the privacy of our readers and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. As a finance-focused digital publisher, we understand that trust is everything especially when our audience is seeking critical advice on topics such as credit cards, banking, investing, insurance, and mortgages. This Privacy Policy outlines the ways we collect, use, and safeguard your data while also detailing your rights as a user of our website.

By accessing or interacting with https://investozora.com, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you disagree with any part of the policy, we respectfully request that you discontinue your use of the Website. We reserve the right to update this policy to reflect best practices and comply with international laws like the GDPR, CCPA, and other global data privacy standards.

Who We Are

Investozora is a U.S.-audience finance publication delivering long-form, expert-level guides, comparisons, and insights on major personal finance topics. Our mission is to empower readers with data-driven, transparent information they can use to improve their financial decision-making. Our platform is run by a dedicated team of financial content creators, analysts, and editorial reviewers.

As an independent media publisher, we do not sell products or collect payments from users. Instead, we earn revenue through advertising, affiliate partnerships, and content sponsorships, all of which are carefully disclosed. As such, we take privacy seriously not just to meet legal obligations, but to honor the trust you place in us when visiting our platform.

We are aware of the sensitive nature of financial topics and personal details that may arise during newsletter sign-ups, contact forms, or user interactions. That’s why every measure we take, technical or administrative, is designed to minimize risk and maximize transparency.

Investozora is a finance-focused content platform based in the digital media industry.

  • We operate under ethical editorial and advertising standards.
  • Our business model is ad-supported and affiliate-driven, but never at the cost of user trust.
  • We maintain full transparency about how user data is handled.
  • Our website is designed for adults aged 13 and over and is U.S.-focused.

Information We Collect

To improve your experience and provide relevant content and services, Investozora collects both personally identifiable information (PII) and non-personally identifiable information (non-PII). We collect this information in two main ways: directly when you voluntarily submit it, and indirectly through technologies like cookies and analytics tools.

Personally identifiable data may include your name, email address, and information submitted through contact forms or newsletter opt-ins. We collect this data only when you choose to provide it never without your consent. This data helps us send you updates, respond to your messages, or keep you informed about relevant financial content and tools.

Non-personal information is gathered automatically using cookies, pixels, tags, or similar technologies. This includes IP addresses, device types, browser versions, referral links, session durations, and on-site interactions. This information helps us understand how users engage with our content so we can improve your browsing experience and offer more targeted services.

We are committed to not collecting sensitive financial information such as Social Security numbers, bank account credentials, or credit card details unless explicitly required and disclosed. We also never ask for passwords or login information to external services.

Under some U.S. state laws (e.g., California), allowing ad partners to collect data via cookies for targeted advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. You can opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and targeted advertising as described in Your U.S. State Privacy Rights below.

Notice at Collection (California):
