Privacy Policy
We only collect your email address so we can send the newsletter you asked for. We don’t sell it, share it or use it for anything else. Ever.
Last updated: February 2026
Our privacy policy is simple.
The only personal information we ask for is your email address if you choose to subscribe to one of our newsletters. We don’t require your name.
We do not sell, rent or share your email address with anyone. That has been our policy since The Dollar Stretcher began in 1996 and it will not change.
Email Newsletters
We use Kit to manage our email newsletters and subscriber list.
When you subscribe, your email address is stored on Kit’s secure servers so we can send you the newsletter and occasional related updates. Kit may collect basic technical information such as your IP address, the date and time you signed up and information about which emails you open or links you click. This helps us understand what content is useful and improve future newsletters.
We only send emails to people who choose to subscribe. We do not send unsolicited messages.
Some newsletters or pages on this site may include recommendations for products or services. We may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you if you make a purchase through an affiliate link.
You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email or by contacting:
andrea @ thedollarstretcher dot com
When you unsubscribe, your email address is removed from active mailings. It may remain in the system for record-keeping unless you request its full deletion.
You can read Kit’s privacy policy on their website.
