Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 26, 2025

    Short version: CalculateThisNow.com does not collect, store, or sell your personal information. All calculator inputs are processed locally in your browser. We display third-party ads (Google AdSense) and may use analytics tools that use cookies. You can opt out of personalized ads at any time.
  

1. Who We Are

CalculateThisNow.com is a free personal finance calculator website. We are not a financial institution, advisor, or data broker. We do not offer financial products or services.

For questions about this policy, contact us at: [email protected]

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit:

Your name, email address, or any personally identifiable information (unless you contact us directly)
The numbers you enter into our calculators — all calculations run entirely in your browser (client-side JavaScript)
Payment information of any kind
Account credentials

3. Information Automatically Collected

Like most websites, we may automatically receive certain non-personal technical data when you visit, including:

Your IP address (used for geographic ad targeting by third-party ad networks)
Browser type and version
Device type and operating system
Pages visited and time spent on site (via analytics tools)
Referring URL (how you arrived at our site)

This data is collected by third-party services (described below) and is subject to their respective privacy policies. We do not directly store this data.

4. Cookies

This website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device by your browser. Cookies on this site come from third-party services, not from us directly:

Google AdSense: Serves advertisements and may set cookies to show you relevant ads based on your browsing history. Ad personalization can be turned off (see Section 6).
Google Analytics (if enabled): Tracks aggregate site usage statistics. Data is anonymized and used only to understand traffic patterns.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of ads displayed on this site.

5. Google AdSense & Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this website. Google AdSense:

May use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites
Uses the DoubleClick cookie to serve interest-based ads across the web
Does not receive any calculator inputs or personal financial data from us

Google's use of the DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. For more information about how Google uses data when you use our site, visit: How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.

6. Your Advertising Choices & Opt-Out

You may opt out of personalized advertising from Google and other participating companies:

Google Ads Settings: adssettings.google.com
Network Advertising Initiative opt-out: optout.networkadvertising.org
Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out: optout.aboutads.info

Opting out means you will still see ads, but they will not be personalized based on your interests.

7. Affiliate Links & Third-Party Sites

Some links on this website are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and visit a third-party website, that website's own privacy policy governs the collection and use of your data. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content or privacy practices of any third-party site.

We do not receive or store any personal data you provide to third-party services you access through our affiliate links.

8. Children's Privacy

CalculateThisNow.com is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.

9. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to:

Know what personal data is collected about you (we collect none directly)
Request deletion of your personal data
Opt out of the sale of personal data (we do not sell personal data)

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

10. GDPR (European Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you. Since we do not directly collect personal data, your primary data rights concern the third-party services that operate on this site (Google AdSense, Analytics).

Our legal basis for displaying personalized advertising is consent, which you may withdraw at any time using the opt-out links in Section 6.

11. Data Security

Since all calculator inputs are processed locally in your browser and never transmitted to our servers, your financial inputs are not at risk of a server-side data breach. No financial data you enter into our calculators is stored anywhere outside your own device.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
