Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 August 2026
YOB247.com (“YOB247,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have whether you’re reading a guide, using one of our free tools, or joining our community.
1. Who We Are
YOB247 is a website providing guides, software reviews, free tools, and community support for people building and growing an online business. If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us using the details in Section 9.
2. Information We Collect
Information you give us directly
- When you join our community on Skool, Skool collects your name and email address as part of their own sign-up process. We receive limited information from that connection, such as your community membership status.
- If you contact us directly (e.g. by email), we collect whatever information you include in that message.
Information collected automatically
- Usage data: pages visited, time spent on site, referring pages, browser type, and device information, typically gathered via analytics tools such as Google Analytics.
- Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored on your device to remember preferences, understand site usage, and support advertising or affiliate tracking. See Section 5 for more detail.
Information from tools on this site
Our free tools (such as calculators and generators) run entirely in your browser. Inputs you enter into these tools, like a business name, a cost price, or an ad spend figure, are not sent to or stored on our servers unless the specific tool clearly states otherwise.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the website and its content
- To understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it
- To respond to enquiries you send us
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or misuse
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
4. How We Share Information
We may share information with:
- Service providers who help us run the site (e.g. hosting providers, analytics providers, and Skool for community hosting), who are only permitted to use your information to provide services to us.
- Affiliate and advertising partners, in aggregate or pseudonymised form, where relevant to tracking a referral (see our Affiliate Disclosure).
- Legal or regulatory bodies, where required by law, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
5. Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies for:
- Essential functionality — enabling core parts of the site to work.
- Analytics — understanding how visitors use our site (e.g. Google Analytics).
- Affiliate tracking — recognising when a visit to a partner site originated from a link on YOB247, so a commission can be correctly attributed if you make a purchase.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site function.
6. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under data protection law (such as UK GDPR, EU GDPR, or equivalent legislation), including the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 9. We may need to verify your identity before actioning a request.

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.
8. Children’s Privacy
YOB247 is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take steps to remove it.
