Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

A. Information you provide

We may receive information you send us directly, such as when you email contact, support, bug, press, or partnership inboxes. This can include your name, email address, and the content of your message.

If you include attachments or screenshots in a support request, those files may contain additional contextual information. We recommend sharing only what is necessary to describe the issue.

B. Calculator input data

Calculator inputs are used to generate results in your browser. We do not intentionally store your raw calculator inputs as user profiles. Tool outputs are estimates and do not require account registration.

Some convenience features, such as bookmarks or preference toggles, may rely on local browser storage so settings persist between sessions. These values stay on your device unless you choose to send related context to us.

C. Automatically collected technical data

Like most websites, we and our service providers may collect technical usage data such as device type, browser type, pages visited, approximate location, referral source, interaction timing, and diagnostic events. We use this to improve reliability, performance, and content quality.

Depending on configuration and region, this data may include truncated or full IP address information, user-agent strings, and page-level interaction signals used for aggregate reporting and abuse prevention.

D. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and related technologies for measurement, site operation, and advertising. Some cookies are set by us, and others are set by third-party services such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense.

Cookie categories can include essential site-operation cookies, analytics cookies, and advertising cookies. Essential cookies support basic functionality. Analytics cookies help us understand aggregated behavior. Advertising cookies support ad delivery and measurement.

2. How we use information

• Operate, maintain, and secure calculatecreator.com.
• Understand product usage patterns and improve user experience.
• Respond to support, correction, and business inquiries.
• Monitor site quality, performance, and abuse prevention.
• Display ads through Google AdSense so tools can remain free to use.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce site policies.

We do not sell personal data as a standalone product. We also do not provide your calculator inputs to unaffiliated brokers for resale.

Our team also uses aggregate behavioral trends to prioritize content refreshes, identify unclear UI flows, and improve methodology explanations for high-impact calculators. These analyses are designed to improve product quality rather than profile individuals.

3. Third-party services

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic and product usage trends. Google Analytics may collect device and interaction information through cookies and similar technologies. You can review Google's privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy.

We use analytics data for trend-level reporting and product decisions. We do not use analytics dashboards to make legal, credit, insurance, or employment decisions about users.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertising. AdSense may use cookies and related technologies to deliver personalized or non-personalized ads, depending on your consent and region. Learn more at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

For ad preference controls, visit adssettings.google.com.

Firebase Hosting and infrastructure

CalculateCreator is deployed on Firebase Hosting. Standard hosting logs and operational diagnostics may be processed to deliver and secure the site.

Service providers process data under their own terms and security controls. Where possible, we configure services to limit unnecessary collection and to align with consent settings and privacy obligations.

Additional detail about our advertising model is provided in our Advertising Disclosure.

4. Cookie and consent controls

We present a consent interface that allows you to accept or decline personalized ad experiences. If you decline personalization, we configure non-personalized ad behavior where applicable. You can also control cookies through browser settings.

Consent choices are stored so your preference can be respected on later visits. You can change your choice by reopening cookie settings, clearing browser storage, or adjusting platform-level ad controls.

• Adjust ad preferences at adssettings.google.com.
• Use browser controls to block or remove cookies.
• Use private browsing modes where appropriate.
• For additional ad-industry controls, review the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tool at optout.networkadvertising.org.

5. Data retention

We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including operational reliability, legal compliance, and dispute handling. Support emails may be retained for workflow continuity and quality assurance. Analytics and ad-related data retention timelines are also influenced by third-party platform settings and policies.

We periodically review retention practices and delete or anonymize data when it is no longer required for legitimate business or legal purposes.

Retention windows vary by data type. For example, support correspondence may be retained longer than short-lived diagnostic logs because it is needed to resolve follow-up requests, investigate repeat issues, and maintain continuity in support conversations.

6. Your rights (all users)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of certain personal data. You may also have rights to object to specific processing activities and to withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis.

To submit a privacy request, email privacy@calculatecreator.com. We may request additional verification to protect account and data security.

We evaluate requests in line with applicable law and may decline requests that are excessive, duplicative, impossible to verify, or prohibited by legal obligations. When we cannot fulfill a request in full, we explain the reason.

7. GDPR notice (EU/EEA/UK users)

If you are located in the EU, EEA, or UK, you may have rights under GDPR or equivalent local law, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection rights. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Where required, we request and record consent choices for advertising preferences. You can revise choices by clearing local consent settings and revisiting the site.

Depending on the context, our legal bases for processing may include consent, legitimate interests in operating and securing the service, and compliance with legal obligations. When consent is the basis, you can withdraw it without affecting prior lawful processing.

8. CCPA/CPRA notice (California users)

California residents may have rights under CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know what categories of personal information are collected, the right to request deletion, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable.

CalculateCreator does not sell personal information in the traditional data-broker sense. To request disclosure or deletion of personal data that may be associated with direct communications, contact privacy@calculatecreator.com.

California residents may also designate an authorized agent to submit requests where permitted by law. We may ask for proof of authority and identity verification before processing agent-submitted requests.

9. Children's privacy (COPPA)

CalculateCreator is intended for general audiences and creator-business research. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact us at privacy@calculatecreator.com and we will investigate and take appropriate action.

Because our site covers social platform monetization topics that may interest younger audiences, we take this section seriously and aim to minimize direct data collection by design.

Parents or guardians who have concerns about child-related data can contact privacy@calculatecreator.com. We will review reported cases promptly and remove information when appropriate.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect data handled through calculatecreator.com. No internet system can be guaranteed fully secure, but we follow a minimal-data approach and secure deployment practices to reduce exposure.

If we become aware of a material security issue affecting user data, we will investigate promptly and provide notice where legally required.

Security controls include access limitations, deployment safeguards, and ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity. While no system is perfect, we routinely review our setup and improve controls as risks evolve.

11. External links and third-party content

Our content may link to third-party websites, documentation, and services. Those sites maintain independent privacy policies and terms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services.

12. Policy updates

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect product changes, legal requirements, or technical updates. We will post revisions on this page and update the Last Updated date. Material changes to core data handling practices will be highlighted prominently.

Prior versions may be retained internally for compliance and record-keeping. We encourage users to review this page periodically to stay informed about how data practices evolve at calculatecreator.com.
