Privacy Policy

Template — have reviewed before launch. This policy was drafted to describe how this site is built. Have it reviewed by a qualified professional and update it if you add analytics, forms, email sign-ups, or advertising pixels.

Short Til Friday ("we," "us") runs this website at https://www.shorttilfriday.com. This policy explains what information is and isn't collected when you visit.

The short version

• This is a static information website. It has no forms: no loan-request form, no application, no account sign-up, and no email sign-up.
• We do not collect, sell, or share loan requests, and we do not pass your personal information to lenders.
• If analytics are enabled, we collect usage data such as pages viewed and buttons clicked, as described below.
• When you click to a provider, you leave our site. That provider's own privacy policy applies from then on.

Information we don't collect

Because the site has no forms, we don't ask for or receive your name, phone number, email address, Social Security number, income, bank details, or any loan-request information.

Information collected automatically

Hosting logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log technical information such as IP address, browser type, the page requested, and the time of the request. This is used to operate and secure the site.

Analytics (if enabled). We may use a web analytics service, such as Google Analytics 4 or Plausible Analytics, to understand how the site is used. This can include pages viewed, time on page, approximate location (city/region level), device and browser type, referring website, how far you scroll, which provider buttons you click, and campaign tags in the link you arrived from (for example, "utm_source"). Some analytics services use cookies or similar technologies to do this. We use this information to improve the site and to understand which content is useful. We don't use it to identify you personally.

Campaign tags. If you arrive through a link with campaign tags (utm parameters), our site script may keep those tags in your browser's session storage for the length of your visit so they can be included in analytics events. They are cleared when you close the browser tab.

Cookies

The site itself doesn't need cookies to work. If analytics are enabled, the analytics provider may set cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the site will still work.

Links to providers and affiliate tracking

This site links to third-party financial providers. When you click one of those links, you go to the provider's website, and any information you give them is governed by their privacy policy and terms, not ours.

Some links may be affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, the provider or its affiliate network may use cookies, link parameters, or similar technology to record that you came from our site, so they can credit us if you complete a qualifying action. That tracking is controlled by the provider or network. We may receive reports of aggregate activity (for example, number of clicks or sign-ups), but we don't receive your application details.

How we share information

We don't sell personal information. We share information only with service providers that help us run the site (such as hosting and analytics), when required by law, or to protect the site and its users.

Children

This site is intended for adults. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Your choices and rights

You can block cookies, use browser privacy settings or extensions that block analytics, and browse the site without giving us any personal information. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to or deletion of personal information. Because we don't collect identifying information through forms, we may hold little or none about you. Contact us with any request.

Changes to this policy

We'll update this page if our practices change, and revise the effective date above.
