Privacy policy

What you enter into the calculators

Amounts, rates, currencies and country selections are processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. They are not transmitted to us, not stored on any server, and not linked to you in any way. There are no accounts on this site. Closing the tab clears them.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we collect standard technical information when you visit: pages viewed, approximate location (country level, derived from IP address), device and browser type, and referral source. We use this in aggregate to understand which tools are useful and where pages need work.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to measure visits and interactions at an aggregate level. Google processes this data on our behalf under its own privacy terms. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors, and we never combine analytics data with calculator inputs (which, again, never reach us).

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use them, and allow selected third parties to use them, for two purposes: measuring site usage (analytics) and displaying advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser at any time; the calculators work fully without them.

Advertising — how Google AdSense works here

• This site displays advertising served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info (US) or youronlinechoices.com (EU/UK).
• For more detail on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see Google's partner-sites explanation.

Your consent choices

In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, we ask for your consent before non-essential cookies (including advertising cookies) are set, using a consent message. You can change your choice at any time by clearing the site's cookies and reloading the page. Where consent is not required by local law, ads may be served based on legitimate interests as permitted — with the opt-outs above always available.

Sharing and retention

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it except as needed to run the services described above (analytics and advertising, processed by Google). Analytics data is retained in aggregate form per Google's standard retention settings; we hold no server-side database of visitor data.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under GDPR or UK GDPR), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of personal data. Since we hold no personal profiles, the practical steps are: manage cookies via your browser, use the ad opt-outs above, and contact us if you believe we hold something we should not.

Children

This site is a business tool and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
