Privacy Policy

home-calc ("we", "us") operates home-calc.com. This policy explains what information is collected when you use the site, how it is used, and the choices you have.

Calculator inputs stay in your browser

The numbers you enter into our calculators — income, expenses, loan amounts, W-2 figures — are processed in your browser and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers. Some calculators save your inputs in your browser's local storage so they persist between visits; you can clear this at any time through your browser settings.

Information we collect

Usage analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — pages viewed, calculators opened, and general location at the city level. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish visitors.

Newsletter. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and use it only to send you the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.

Contact. If you email us, we keep the correspondence to respond to you. We do not sell or share your email address.

Advertising and cookies

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve personalized ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Managing cookies

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies does not affect the calculators — they work without any cookies at all.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
