Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 15, 2025

Introduction

HomeCalc ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website homecalcapp.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our Site. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

Calculator Inputs

When you use our calculators, all computations happen in your browser. We do not collect, store, transmit, or have access to the financial data you enter into our calculators. Your inputs stay on your device.

Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit:

  • IP address (anonymized)
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • Referring website
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • General geographic location (country/region level)

This information is collected through Google Analytics and is used solely to understand how visitors use our Site and to improve our content and tools.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to analyze website traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect anonymized data about your visit. This helps us understand which calculators are most popular, how users navigate the site, and where we can improve.

Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC. For more information on how Google handles your data, see Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google AdSense & Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Site. Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our Site and other websites. This is known as interest-based or personalized advertising.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info/choices.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior website visits. You can review how Google uses information from sites that use its services at Google's Partner Sites Policy.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Our Site uses the following types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality (minimal use on our Site).
  • Analytics cookies: Used by Google Analytics to understand site usage (e.g., _ga, _gid).
  • Advertising cookies: Used by Google AdSense and advertising partners to deliver relevant ads.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect your experience on some websites.

Data Storage & Security

We do not store personal financial data. Calculator inputs are processed entirely in your browser and are never transmitted to our servers. We do not have user accounts, login systems, or databases containing personal information.

Our Site is served over HTTPS (encrypted connection) to protect data in transit.

Children's Privacy

Our Site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Opt out of personalized advertising
  • Opt out of analytics tracking

Since we do not store personal financial data or maintain user accounts, most data rights can be exercised by clearing your browser cookies or using the opt-out links provided above.

California Residents (CCPA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California residents have additional rights regarding their personal information. Because we do not sell personal information and our data collection is limited to analytics and advertising cookies, your primary option is to opt out of personalized advertising via the links above.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
