Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Who we are

Investing for Children ("we", "us") is a trading name of Andrew Howe, a sole trader and the data controller for the personal information described in this policy. We operate investingforchildren.co.uk and sell the Investing for Your Child guide.

Correspondence address: Unit A, 82 James Carter Road, Mildenhall, IP28 7DE, United Kingdom. You can reach us at hello@investingforchildren.co.uk.

What we collect, and why

• When you buy the guide — payment is processed entirely by Stripe: they collect your card details, email, and billing information on their own secure pages, and we never see or store your card number. We can see your name, email, and purchase record in our Stripe dashboard, which we keep to deliver the product, re-send download links, provide support, and meet our accounting obligations. Legal bases: performance of a contract, and legal obligation (tax records, kept 6 years).
• When you email us — we hold the correspondence to reply and provide support (legitimate interest). We delete old support threads periodically.
• When you visit the site — our host, Cloudflare, processes visitor IP addresses transiently to serve and secure the site (legitimate interest in running a functioning, secure website).
• Analytics and advertising (with your consent) — we use, or may use, tools such as Google Analytics and advertising pixels (for example the Meta Pixel and Google tags) to understand how the site is used and to measure and improve our marketing, including showing relevant ads to previous visitors. These only run if you accept them via the cookie banner, and you can change your mind at any time. Legal basis: consent.
• When you use the calculator — the figures you enter stay in your browser. They are not sent to us or stored anywhere.
• When you download the guide — your checkout session is verified with Stripe to generate a time-limited download link. Nothing extra is collected.

Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies (such as those Stripe sets on its own checkout pages to process your payment securely) run without consent, as the law allows. Analytics and advertising cookies — used for site statistics, ad measurement, and showing relevant ads to previous visitors — are set only after you opt in via the cookie banner, and you can withdraw that consent at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser. See also Stripe's privacy policy.

Who we share data with

Our processors, used to run the service: Stripe (payments and receipts), Cloudflare (hosting, content delivery, and file download), and Google Workspace (our email). Where you consent to analytics or advertising cookies, data is also shared with those platforms (such as Google and Meta) as described in their own privacy policies. We never sell or rent personal information. We may disclose information where required by law.

How long we keep it

Purchase records: 6 years (UK tax law). Support emails: routinely cleared. Download links expire within 24 hours by design.

Children

This site is for adults investing on behalf of children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18, and we never ask for any information about your child.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, object to or restrict our use of it, and receive it in a portable format. Email hello@investingforchildren.co.uk and we'll respond within one month. If you're unhappy with how we've handled something, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
