Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 28, 2025

FreelancerMortgage.guide ("this site," "we," "us") is committed to being transparent about how it operates. This policy explains what data is collected, how it is used, and what choices you have.

Who we are

FreelancerMortgage.guide is an independent informational website providing resources for self-employed individuals navigating the mortgage process. We have no affiliation with any mortgage lender, broker, or financial institution.

Data we collect

The readiness assessment: The assessment tool runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are never transmitted to our servers, stored in a database, or associated with any identifying information. When you close the tab, the results are gone. We designed it this way deliberately.

Usage analytics: Like most websites, we use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. This data is aggregated and anonymous. We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information through analytics.

Advertising: This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads that are relevant to your interests, based on your browsing history across websites. This is standard behaviour for AdSense placements.

Cookies

This site uses cookies in the following ways:

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of analytics tracking by using your browser's privacy settings or an ad blocker.

Third-party services

This site uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

Advertising disclosure

This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. These are clearly identifiable as ads. FreelancerMortgage.guide has no paid editorial relationships with any advertiser. Advertisers do not influence the content of articles, the assessment tool, or any other part of this site. The fact that a mortgage lender or broker may advertise here does not constitute an endorsement of that company.

No financial advice

The content on this site — including the readiness assessment, all articles, and any other resources — is provided for informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial, legal, or mortgage advice. Always consult a qualified mortgage professional before making any lending decisions.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect any information from children.

Your rights

Since this site does not collect personally identifiable information, there is no personal data to access, correct, or delete. If you have questions about data collected by third-party services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense), please refer to Google's privacy policy and their tools for managing your data.

If you are in the European Economic Area, you have rights under the GDPR including the right to access personal data held about you and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. As noted above, this site does not hold personal data — but third-party services used by this site may. Please contact those services directly regarding your GDPR rights.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
