Unclaimed Money (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website unclaimedmoney.info. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. We have written it to reflect what this website actually does.
1. About This Website
Unclaimed Money is an informational website only. We publish guides, articles and reference information to help people understand how to search for and reclaim unclaimed funds, forgotten bank accounts, uncashed cheques, insurance proceeds and other lost or dormant assets.
We want to be explicit about what we are not:
- We are not a government agency, bank, insurer, escrow service or financial institution.
- We do not sell products or services, and we do not process payments.
- We do not ask for, collect or store credit card numbers, bank account numbers, Social Security numbers or any other financial account details.
- We do not file claims on your behalf, and we do not charge any fee to recover funds.
- We do not operate user accounts, memberships or customer portals.
All actual claims are made directly by you, free of charge, through the relevant official state treasury or government unclaimed-property programme.
2. Information We Collect
Information you give us voluntarily
If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we receive the details you choose to send — typically your name, your email address and the content of your message. We use this solely to reply to you.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools automatically record limited technical information when you visit, including:
- Your IP address and general geographic region (such as country or city).
- Browser type, device type and operating system.
- Pages you viewed, time spent on the site, and the referring website.
- Date and time of your visit.
This information is aggregated and statistical. We do not use it to identify you personally.
We never ask you to submit sensitive personal or financial information on this website. If you ever encounter a page on our site requesting such details, please do not enter them and contact us immediately.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We and our third-party partners use them to remember your preferences, understand how the site is used, and deliver and measure advertising. You can disable or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time, though some parts of the site may not function as intended.
4. Google AdSense and Advertising
This website displays advertisements served through Google AdSense and Google’s advertising network. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites across the internet.
To understand exactly how Google collects and uses data on sites that use its services, please review Google’s official notice: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Third-party advertising partners may also place cookies to serve interest-based advertising. We do not share your name, email address or any directly identifying information with advertisers.
5. Managing and Opting Out of Personalised Advertising
You have control over how personalised ads are shown to you. You can review, adjust or opt out of personalised advertising using these official tools:
- Google My Ad Center — review and control the ads Google shows you: https://myadcenter.google.com
- Google Ads Settings — manage ad personalisation: https://adssettings.google.com
- YourAdChoices / AboutAds (DAA) — opt out of interest-based ads from participating vendors: https://optout.aboutads.info
Opting out does not stop you seeing ads; it means the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.
6. Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use our site, so we can improve our content. Google Analytics collects the technical and usage information described in Section 2. You can opt out across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
7. How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain and improve the website and its content.
- To respond to questions or messages you send us.
- To analyse traffic patterns and measure which articles are useful.
- To display and measure advertising that supports the site.
- To protect the website against abuse, spam and security threats.
8. Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. Information may be handled by service providers acting on our behalf (such as our hosting provider, Google Analytics and Google AdSense), each subject to their own privacy terms. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
9. Third-Party Links
Our articles link to official government, state treasury and other external websites so you can search and file claims directly. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit.
10. Data Retention
Email correspondence is kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry. Analytics and advertising data are retained according to the retention settings of the relevant Google service.
11. Children’s Privacy
This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
12. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. Because we do not operate user accounts or collect financial data, the information we hold is usually limited to email correspondence and anonymous analytics. To make a request, contact us using the details below.
Residents of California (CCPA/CPRA) and the EEA/UK (GDPR) may have additional rights, including the right not to have personal information sold. We do not sell personal information.
13. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the limited information we hold. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
15. Contact Us
