How GigsAhoy handles information.

GigsAhoy may collect information that you choose to submit through the site. This may include your name, email address, message, side hustle suggestions, correction requests, advertising inquiries, partnership questions, or other information you send through a contact form.

If you contact GigsAhoy, your information is used to read your message, respond when appropriate, improve the site, and manage legitimate site-related communication.

GigsAhoy may save your side hustle quiz answers, match profile, and quiz results in your browser using localStorage. This allows the site to remember your preferences when you return and may allow other parts of the site to show more personalized recommendations.

This quiz information is stored locally on your device/browser. It is not sent to GigsAhoy through the quiz unless a future feature clearly tells you otherwise. Clearing your browser data, using a different browser, or clicking a clear/reset option on the site may remove your saved quiz preferences.

The quiz may save information such as your preferences for work from home, travel, startup cost, skill level, time commitment, income goals, flexibility, people interaction, tech skill, writing, sales, passive income potential, stress level, and related match results.

GigsAhoy may use browser-based storage, such as localStorage, to remember site preferences and quiz results. Local storage is different from a traditional cookie, but it can still save information in your browser so the site can work better when you return.

In the future, GigsAhoy may also use cookies or similar technologies for analytics, advertising, affiliate tracking, performance improvements, saved settings, or other site features.

GigsAhoy may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site. This may include information such as pages visited, links clicked, general device or browser information, referring pages, approximate location based on general internet data, and other usage patterns.

Analytics help improve the site, understand which side hustle pages are useful, find broken pages, improve navigation, and make better decisions about future guides, tools, and resources.

GigsAhoy may include affiliate links, sponsored links, advertisements, product recommendations, tool recommendations, or other monetized content. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, GigsAhoy may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate programs and advertising partners may use their own tracking technologies to measure clicks, purchases, referrals, conversions, or ad performance. Those third-party services may have their own privacy policies and data practices.

Purchasing through affiliate links and supporting advertisers helps support the work being done on GigsAhoy and helps the site continue growing.

GigsAhoy may link to third-party websites, tools, products, services, apps, platforms, guides, marketplaces, or affiliate partners. Once you leave GigsAhoy, the privacy practices of those outside websites are controlled by those companies, not by GigsAhoy.

You should review the privacy policies and terms of any third-party website, product, service, or platform before using it or making a purchase.

Information collected or stored through GigsAhoy may be used to operate the site, respond to messages, improve content, personalize recommendations, analyze usage, prevent spam or abuse, display relevant resources, support affiliate or advertising features, and improve the overall visitor experience.

GigsAhoy does not sell your personal contact form messages to third parties.

If you use the contact form, the information you submit may be sent to GigsAhoy by email. This may include your name, email address, reason for contact, subject, and message.

The contact form may use basic spam prevention methods, such as hidden form fields or timing checks, to reduce automated submissions and protect the site from abuse.

GigsAhoy aims to use reasonable measures to protect the site and any information submitted through it. However, no website, email system, browser storage method, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should avoid sending sensitive personal, financial, medical, legal, or highly confidential information through the contact form.

You can clear saved quiz answers and match results by using any clear/reset option provided on the quiz page, or by clearing your browser’s localStorage/site data for GigsAhoy.

You can also control cookies, tracking, and local storage through your browser settings. Some site features may not work as intended if browser storage is blocked or cleared.

GigsAhoy is intended for a general audience interested in side hustle ideas, tools, and guides. The site is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

This Privacy Policy may be updated as GigsAhoy grows, adds new features, uses analytics, adds advertising, joins affiliate programs, or changes how the site works.

When updates are made, the revised version will be posted on this page.
