- ✓We do not sell your personal information. Ever.

Who We Are
WealthCornerstone is a financial education website operated by WealthCornerstone (“we,” “us,” or “our”). Our contact email is hello@wealthcornerstone.com. For privacy-related inquiries, that is the correct address.
What We Collect
Calculator data
The DIME calculator and all other financial tools run entirely in your browser. Financial inputs you enter — income, debts, insurance amounts, retirement targets — are never transmitted to or stored on our servers. All calculations happen client-side. The moment you leave or refresh the page, your inputs are gone.
Contact form submissions
If you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content. We use this only to respond to your inquiry and do not add you to a mailing list without your explicit consent.
Analytics data
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how readers use the site — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and what searches brought them here. Analytics data is anonymized and aggregated. We do not use it to identify individual users. IP addresses are anonymized in our configuration.
Cookies
WealthCornerstone uses three categories of cookies:
Essential cookies
Required for basic site functionality — page navigation and form security. These cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
Analytics cookies (Google Analytics)
Track aggregate usage patterns. You can opt out via your browser settings or the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising cookies (Google AdSense)
Google uses cookies to serve ads relevant to your interests based on your browsing history across sites. Manage ad personalization at adssettings.google.com or opt out at aboutads.info.
Google AdSense
This site participates in Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads on our pages. These cookies enable Google to show you ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by the Google Privacy & Terms. For more information on how Google uses data when you visit partner sites, see How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.
How We Use Your Information
| Data | How We Use It |
|---|---|
| Contact form submissions | Respond to your inquiry — not retained longer than needed |
| Analytics data | Understand site usage; improve content and navigation |
| Ad data | Managed by Google; used to serve relevant advertising |
| Calculator inputs | Never collected — processed locally and discarded on page exit |
We do not sell, rent, or share personally identifiable information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
Data Retention
Contact form enquiries are retained for up to 12 months and then deleted. Google Analytics data is retained per Google's default retention settings (14 months). We do not maintain a separate user database or email list.
Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Correction — request correction of inaccurate data
- Deletion — request deletion of your personal data
- Objection — object to processing for certain purposes
- Portability — receive your data in a portable format
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@wealthcornerstone.com. We respond within 30 days. California residents: we do not “sell” personal information as defined under CCPA.
Children's Privacy
WealthCornerstone is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us immediately and we will delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices change or as laws require. Material changes will be noted at the top of this page with a new effective date. Continued use of WealthCornerstone after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
