Our commitment to privacy
Chicago Wealth Solutions is an educational publisher that believes in privacy-first practices. We collect minimal data, never sell personal information, and are transparent about our practices.
This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.
What we collect
Automatically collected information
Like most websites, we collect basic analytics data to understand how our content is used:
- •Pages visited and time spent on site
- •Browser type and device information
- •Referring website (where you came from)
- •General location (city/state level, not precise)
Voluntarily provided information
If you choose to contact us or request an introduction to a professional, we collect only what's needed:
- •Name and email address (required for communication)
- •Optional: Phone number, city, brief description of needs
- •Concierge form responses (topic interests, preferences)
How we use your information
Educational improvement: Analytics help us understand which topics are most useful so we can create better content.
Responding to requests: If you contact us or request an introduction, we use your information to respond and facilitate the connection.
Compliance monitoring: We track content performance to ensure our educational materials are accessible and effective.
What we don't do
We never sell your data. We are not in the business of selling user information to third parties.
We don't use invasive tracking. No cross-site tracking, fingerprinting, or surveillance capitalism.
We don't share without consent. Introductions to professionals only happen if you explicitly request them.
We don't collect sensitive financial data. This is an educational site - we don't ask for account numbers, SSNs, or financial details.
Data security
We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information:
- Encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all site traffic

- Access controls limiting who can view user data
