Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 23, 2026
Side Hustle Tools (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website sidehustlestools.org. This page explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit our site.
1. Data We Collect
We do not require registration or account creation. We collect:
- Analytics data (via Google Analytics 4): pages visited, session duration, browser type, approximate country, and referring URL. No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected directly by us.
- Tool inputs: values entered into our free calculators and tools are processed entirely in your browser and are never sent to our servers.
2. Cookies
We use cookies solely for analytics via Google Analytics 4. These cookies help us understand aggregate traffic patterns. They do not store your name, email, or any other personal information.
You can disable cookies at any time in your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect the functionality of our free tools.
3. Affiliate Links & FTC Disclosure
Side Hustle Tools participates in affiliate marketing programs. Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase or sign up — at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate links are clearly marked with “*Affiliate link” or similar labelling. We only recommend products and platforms we genuinely believe provide value. Our editorial content is not influenced by affiliate relationships.
Affiliate programs we participate in may include: Fiverr, Upwork, Teachable, Bluehost, Printful, Semrush, Buffer, TubeBuddy, Toptal, Shopify, and others. Each program operates under its own privacy policy governing data they collect.

| Google Analytics 4 | Aggregate traffic analytics | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Vercel | Website hosting & CDN | vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy |
5. Your Rights
Because we do not collect PII directly, there is no personal data for us to delete or transfer. For data held by Google Analytics, you can use Google's Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Children's Privacy
Our website is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy 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 changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
