What we collect
- Browsing: anonymous page views and which outbound links get clicked, so we know what's useful. No advertising cookies, and no tracking across other sites.
- Your shortlist: saved in your own browser (local storage) by default. We only see an anonymous count of saves per hustle.
- Optional email link for your shortlist: if you ask for one, we store your email address and the hustles you've saved so we can send the link and keep your devices in sync. Opening the link sets one essential cookie that keeps that browser linked.
- Newsletter: only if you sign up or tick the box, we store your email to send the 5 weekly picks.
- Things you send us: hustle suggestions, earnings reports and sponsor enquiries.
Why we can use it
Your shortlist email and link are used to provide the service you asked for. The newsletter is based on your consent, which you can withdraw any time. Anonymous stats are in our legitimate interest in running a useful site.
Who helps us
We use Vercel (website hosting), Neon (database, hosted in London) and Resend (sending email, EU region). They process data on our behalf. We never sell your data.
How long we keep it
Shortlist email links expire after 48 hours and work once. A linked browser stays linked for up to 12 months unless you unlink it. Your stored shortlist and newsletter signup are kept until you delete them or unsubscribe. Rate-limit records store only scrambled (hashed) values.
Your rights and deleting your data
You can ask to see, correct or delete your data. The quickest way: open your shortlist on a linked device and press Delete my data, or use the “Delete my data instead” option on any shortlist email link. Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link. You can also contact us via the contact form on our sponsor pagequot;Get in touchcontact form on our sponsor pagequot; form on our Sponsor page. You have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
Not financial advice
Everything on Hustle Hub is general information for UK readers, not personal financial, tax or legal advice. Earnings are not guaranteed and figures, including the rough monthly estimate on your shortlist, are estimates from public sources. Always check the platform's own terms. Extra income may need declaring to HMRC.
Affiliate and referral links
Some links may be affiliate or referral links, which means we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes what we list or how we rank things.
