How Free Hustle Finder collects, uses, and protects your information. Last updated September 2026.
Information we collect
- Account information: if you create an account, we store your email address and a display name derived from it so you can sign in and save your progress.
- Saved activity: side hustles you save, quiz answers and results, earnings calculator inputs, and startup plans you generate, so they are there when you come back.
- Usage and analytics events: pages visited, searches, filters used, and outbound clicks, used to understand which side hustles and guides are most helpful.
- Contact and advertising inquiries: if you contact us or submit an advertising inquiry, we store the details you provide so we can respond.
How we use information
- To operate the site: sign you in, restore your saved hustles, quiz results, and plans, and remember your preferences.
- To personalize recommendations, such as matching quiz answers to side hustles that fit your time, budget, and skills.
- To improve the site: aggregate, anonymized analytics help us decide what content and tools to build next.
- To respond to messages and advertising inquiries you send us.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and measure site usage. Analytics data is used in aggregate to improve content and is not used to identify individual visitors. You can block cookies in your browser settings, though sign-in and saved features may stop working.
Affiliate links
Some buttons and links on this site are affiliate or referral links. When you click one, the destination company may place a tracking cookie or record the referral so we can be credited. That tracking is governed by the destination company's own privacy policy. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
Third-party services
We rely on trusted third parties to run the site, including cloud hosting and database providers, authentication (such as Google sign-in), analytics, and affiliate networks (such as Amazon Associates and Impact). These providers process data only as needed to provide their services and under their own privacy policies.
Data retention and security
Account and saved data is kept while your account is active. We use industry-standard safeguards, including encryption in transit and row-level access controls, to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
Your choices
You can update saved items, quiz results, and plans from your dashboard at any time. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data by contacting us.
Children
Free Hustle Finder is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the latest version. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
