Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 13, 2025
Our Commitment
TikTok Creator Calculator is committed to protecting your privacy. We believe in transparency and minimal data collection. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
Data We Collect
Calculator Inputs (Not Stored)
When you use our calculators, you enter data like follower counts, engagement rates, etc. We do NOT collect, store, or transmit these inputs. All calculations happen in your browser.
Analytics Data (Anonymous)
We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous usage statistics:
- Pages visited
- Calculator usage (which calculators are used, but not the values entered)
- Browser type and device information
- Approximate location (city level, for regional content optimization)
This data is anonymized and aggregated. We cannot identify individual users.
How We Use Data
- Improve calculator accuracy and user experience
- Understand which tools are most valuable to creators
- Fix technical issues and bugs
- Generate aggregated statistics (e.g., "10,000 calculations performed this month")
Data We DON'T Collect
- Personal information (name, email, phone)
- Calculator input values (follower counts, earnings, etc.)
- TikTok account information
- Financial information
- Precise location data
Cookies
We use cookies for Google Analytics. These cookies help us understand how visitors use our site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting calculator functionality.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Google Analytics: Website analytics (subject to Google's privacy policy)
- Firebase Hosting: Website hosting (no additional data collection)
Your Rights
Since we don't collect personal data, there's nothing to access, delete, or export. If you have concerns:
- Disable cookies in your browser
- Use browser privacy mode
- Contact us at privacy@calculatecreator.com
Children's Privacy
Our service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. TikTok's Creator Fund requires users to be 18+, which is our primary audience.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy occasionally. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of changes.
International Users
TikTok Creator Calculator is accessible worldwide. Our services comply with major privacy regulations including GDPR (European Union), CCPA (California), and other international privacy laws.
GDPR Compliance (EU Users)
Under GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access any personal data we hold (which is none, as we don't collect it)
- Request deletion of data (not applicable as we don't store personal data)
- Object to processing (our analytics are anonymous and cannot identify individuals)
- Data portability (not applicable as we don't collect personal data)
- Withdraw consent at any time by disabling cookies in your browser
CCPA Compliance (California Users)
California residents have specific rights under CCPA. However, since we:
- Do not sell personal information
- Do not collect personal information beyond anonymous analytics
- Do not share data with third parties for monetary gain
- Cannot identify individual users from our data
Most CCPA provisions do not apply to our service. You can still opt out of analytics tracking by disabling cookies.
Data Security Measures
While we don't collect sensitive personal information, we still implement industry-standard security practices to protect our infrastructure and ensure service reliability:
- HTTPS Encryption: All traffic to our website uses TLS/SSL encryption to prevent interception
- Client-Side Processing: Calculator inputs never leave your browser, eliminating server-side data exposure risks
- No User Accounts: Without login systems, there's no password database to breach or account information to compromise
- Regular Updates: We maintain our hosting platform and dependencies with the latest security patches
- Minimal Third-Party Code: We limit external dependencies to reduce potential vulnerability vectors
Our privacy-first architecture means the best data protection is built into our core design: we simply don't have your data to protect.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Types of Cookies We Use
Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about pages visited, time spent, and navigation patterns. This data is anonymized and aggregated.
Examples: _ga, _gid, _gat
Functional Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences like display settings or calculator inputs (stored locally only). They enhance user experience but aren't strictly necessary.
Managing Cookie Preferences
You have several options to control cookies:
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing ones. Check your browser's help documentation for instructions.
- Google Analytics Opt-Out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Private/Incognito Mode: Use your browser's private browsing mode to prevent cookie storage
- Ad Blockers: Many ad blockers also block analytics trackers
Note: Blocking cookies won't affect calculator functionality since all calculations happen in your browser without requiring any stored data.
How We Use Analytics Data
The anonymous analytics data we collect helps us improve the service in specific ways:
Understanding Calculator Usage
We track which calculators are most popular to prioritize improvements and ensure our most-used tools remain accurate. For example, if the Engagement Rate Calculator sees heavy traffic, we'll verify its algorithm more frequently.
Identifying Technical Issues
Analytics help us spot bugs and performance problems. If users consistently leave a page quickly or encounter errors, we investigate and fix the issue.
Optimizing User Experience
We analyze navigation patterns to make frequently-used calculators easier to find and improve our site structure based on how creators actually use our tools.
Content Development
By understanding which topics interest our audience, we create relevant guides, add new calculators, and update existing content to address real creator needs.
Regional Customization
City-level location data helps us understand regional differences. For instance, TikTok monetization varies by country, so knowing our audience geography helps us provide region-appropriate estimates.
Important: We never see individual calculator inputs. If you enter "50,000 followers" into a calculator, we don't know that number. We only know "someone used the Engagement Rate Calculator."
Data Retention
Since we don't collect personal data, there's minimal information to retain. Here's our retention policy for the limited data we do collect:
- Analytics Data: Google Analytics retains data for 26 months by default. After this period, older data is automatically deleted from Google's servers.
- Server Logs: Basic server logs (IP addresses, timestamps, requested pages) are retained for 90 days for security monitoring and troubleshooting, then automatically deleted.
- Calculator Inputs: Never stored on our servers, immediately discarded after calculation. Your browser may cache results locally, which you can clear at any time.
- Contact Inquiries: If you email us with questions, we retain correspondence for 2 years for reference purposes.
Our minimal data collection philosophy means there's simply less data to manage, reducing privacy risks and simplifying compliance with data protection regulations.
Third-Party Links and Services
Our website may contain links to external resources, guides, and TikTok's official documentation. When you click these links, you leave our site and are subject to the privacy policies of those third-party services.
Third-Party Services We Use
Google Analytics

Firebase Hosting

We do not: Share your data with affiliate networks, advertising platforms, data brokers, or marketing services. We don't sell data, rent email lists, or participate in cross-site tracking networks.
Privacy for Different User Types
Individual Creators
When you use our calculators for personal TikTok earnings estimates, we don't collect your account information, follower counts, or any metrics you enter. Your financial projections and business data remain completely private.
Brands and Agencies
Marketing professionals using our tools for influencer vetting or campaign planning benefit from the same privacy protections. We don't track which creators you're researching or your budget calculations.
Educators and Students
Academic users studying the creator economy can use our tools without institutional tracking or data sharing requirements. Research data and course materials remain private.
Job Seekers and Career Planners
Individuals exploring creator careers can research earning potential without creating a digital footprint that might be discoverable by current employers or linked to their professional profile.
Your Privacy Rights Summary
You have the right to:
- Use all calculators without providing personal information
- Disable analytics cookies without losing functionality
- Access our site anonymously through VPNs or privacy browsers
- Request information about data practices (contact us anytime)
- Lodge complaints with data protection authorities if you believe your privacy rights have been violated
Bottom Line: We've designed TikTok Creator Calculator with privacy as the foundation, not an afterthought. No personal data collection means no data breaches, no targeted advertising, and no privacy violations.

- A notice banner on the website homepage for 30 days

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of TikTok Creator Calculator after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
Major changes requiring re-consent: If we ever decide to collect personal information (which is not currently planned), we'll implement a clear opt-in consent mechanism and prominently notify all users.
