Overview
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices. We keep things lightweight by design; the calculator is built to run in your browser without requiring an account.
Information we collect
- Calculator inputs: Your rate, hours, and slider values are processed locally in your browser. We do not send them to a server.
- Local storage: We may store a small value (e.g., your selected state) to improve navigation. You can clear this anytime in your browser settings.
- Site analytics: We may use privacy‑friendly analytics to understand aggregate usage (pages viewed, approximate device type). These analytics do not include your calculator inputs.
How we use information
- Operate and improve the site (fix errors, measure page load, understand which pages are helpful).
- Respond to messages you send via the contact form.
- Protect our services, including abuse and fraud prevention.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share minimal operational data with service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics) under contracts that require them to use it only to provide services to us.
Your choices
- Clear local storage or cookies in your browser to remove saved preferences.
- Use a private window if you prefer not to persist any settings between visits.
- Contact us at Contact to request deletion of messages you’ve sent through the form.
Data retention
Messages you send via the contact form are retained as long as needed to respond and maintain records. We do not retain calculator inputs on a server.
Children’s privacy
Our site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child provided us personal information, please reach out and we’ll delete it.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
We use Google AdSense to show ads. AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before using cookies for ads.
- You can manage your ad settings at adssettings.google.com.
- Learn how Google uses data: Google’s partner sites policy.
Cookies & consent
We use minimal cookies for site operation and to support advertising. You can control cookies in your browser, and you may also use our on‑site consent controls.
- Essential: basic site preferences (e.g., selected state) stored in your browser.
- Analytics/ads: only used with your consent where required.
If you change your mind, clear your browser storage or update your cookie settings below.
