How Nuts & Bolts Investing collects, uses, and protects personal information.
Last updated: 28 April 2026
Nuts & Bolts Investing provides beginner-friendly investing education, resources, email updates, and course information. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have under UK data protection law.
This website and its content are for educational purposes only and are not financial advice.
1. Who We Are
Nuts & Bolts Investing is the controller of the personal information collected through this website, our mailing list, and our contact form.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is used, you can contact us at support@nutsandboltsinvesting.com.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect the following information when you use this website:
- Your email address when you sign up to the mailing list or request a free resource.
- Your name, email address, subject, and message when you use the contact form.
- Information you choose to send us by email.
- Basic technical information that may be processed by our website hosting provider, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited.
- Information processed by third-party services if you click through to external platforms, such as Kit or Gumroad.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use personal information to:
- Send you the free resources you request, such as the Beginner Investing Starter Checklist.
- Send beginner-friendly investing education, resources, course updates, and marketing emails if you subscribe.
- Respond to contact form messages and support enquiries.
- Improve the website, resources, and educational content.
- Maintain website security and prevent misuse.
- Comply with legal obligations.
4. Mailing List and Email Marketing
We use Kit to manage our mailing list and send emails. When you sign up through a form on this website, your email address is processed by Kit on our behalf.
We only send marketing emails where we have a lawful basis to do so, such as your consent or where the law allows a soft opt-in for similar products and services. Our signup forms should clearly explain what you are signing up for.
You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in our emails. You can also contact us at support@nutsandboltsinvesting.com and ask to be removed.
5. Contact Form Messages
When you submit the contact form, the information you provide is used to send your message to our support inbox. The form may be processed by a third-party form service, FormSubmit, so that messages can be delivered from this static website.
Please do not send sensitive personal information through the contact form.
6. Course Purchases and External Links
If you click a course purchase link, you may be taken to Gumroad or another external payment platform. Payment information is handled by that third-party platform, not directly by this website.
External websites have their own privacy policies. You should review those policies before providing personal information to them.
7. Legal Basis for Processing
Under UK data protection law, we need a lawful basis to process personal information. The lawful bases we may rely on include:
- Consent, for example when you sign up to receive emails from us.
- Legitimate interests, for example responding to enquiries, improving our resources, and keeping the website secure.
- Contract, where processing is necessary to provide something you request or purchase.
- Legal obligation, where we need to keep records or comply with the law.
8. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share or process information with trusted service providers who help us operate this website and communicate with subscribers.
These providers may include:
- Kit, for mailing list management and email delivery.
- FormSubmit, for contact form delivery.
- Vercel, for website hosting.
- Gumroad or other payment/course platforms, if you choose to purchase a course.
- Namecheap Private Email, for business email services.
9. International Transfers
Some of the services we use may process personal information outside the UK. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards used by those providers, such as adequacy arrangements, the UK extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, the International Data Transfer Agreement, or standard contractual clauses where applicable.
10. How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy.
- Mailing list information is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
- Contact form messages may be kept for as long as needed to respond and manage the enquiry.
- Records related to purchases may be kept where required for accounting, tax, or legal reasons.
11. Your Rights
Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
- Ask us to delete your information.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Withdraw consent where we rely on consent.
- Ask for a copy of your information in a portable format, where applicable.
To make a request, email support@nutsandboltsinvesting.com.
12. Cookies and Analytics
At present, this website is not intended to use advertising cookies or advanced analytics tracking. Basic technical data may still be processed by hosting and security providers when you visit the site.
If we add analytics, advertising pixels, or similar tracking tools in future, we will update this policy and, where required, provide appropriate cookie notices and choices.
13. Keeping Your Information Safe
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information and use reputable service providers. However, no website or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
14. Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we handle your personal information, please contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue.
You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office. You can find more information at ico.org.uk.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page, with the date at the top showing when it was last updated.
