Privacy Policy

Information we collect

You don’t need an account to use FinanceTool, and we don’t ask for your name, email, or any personal details to run a calculator. Every calculation happens locally in your browser, and the numbers you enter are never transmitted to or stored on our servers.

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, and the pages you visit. This is used only to keep the site secure and reliable, and to understand aggregate traffic.

Cookies and local storage

We use cookies and similar technologies (such as your browser’s local storage) to remember preferences like light or dark mode and to support the features described below. In addition, third parties, including our advertising and analytics partners, may set their own cookies. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; disabling them will not stop the calculators from working.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to serve ads when you visit FinanceTool. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google’s use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to FinanceTool and/or other sites on the internet.
• Third-party vendors and ad networks may also use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or others.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.

For more on how Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps, see Google’s policy.

Analytics

We may use analytics tools to understand, in aggregate, how visitors find and use the site so we can improve it. These tools report trends such as popular pages and general location, never the figures you type into a calculator.

Third-party links

Our guides sometimes link to other websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their policies.

Children’s privacy

FinanceTool is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA, including the right to access or delete personal data. Because we don’t collect personal information through the calculators, most requests relate to advertising cookies, which you can manage through the opt-out links above or your browser settings. If you have a specific request, contact us and we’ll do our best to help.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
