This Privacy Policy outlines the practices and policies of USAPaycheckTool.com ("we", "us", or "our") regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information. We are fundamentally committed to your privacy. Our core service is designed to be completely anonymous.
1. The Most Important Thing: We Do Not Collect Your Financial Data
This is the cornerstone of our privacy commitment. Any financial information you enter into our calculators—such as your salary, filing status, or deductions—is processed exclusively within your web browser ("client-side").
- We do not see it.
- We do not store it.
- We do not save it.
- We do not share it with anyone.
Once you close or refresh the page, the information is gone forever. Your calculations are yours and yours alone.
2. Information We Do Collect (Non-Personal Data)
Like virtually all websites, we collect non-personally identifying information to understand how our visitors use the site and to improve our service. This includes:
- Log Files: Our web servers may log standard information such as your browser type, IP address (often anonymized), referring pages, and the date/time of your visit. This is used for website administration, security monitoring, and analyzing broad traffic trends. It is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
- Cookies: We may use cookies for essential website functionality. For example, a cookie might be used to remember your preference for light or dark mode. These cookies do not contain personal information. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect some site features.
3. Third-Party Services & Affiliate Links
To support the free nature of our tools, we may use third-party services.
- Advertising (e.g., Google AdSense): We may display ads from third-party networks. These networks may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. This helps them show more relevant ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting your ad settings with the respective provider (e.g., Google's Ad Settings).
- Affiliate Links: Some links on our site may be affiliate links. If you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. We are transparent about these relationships and only recommend services we believe provide value.
These third-party sites have their own separate and independent privacy policies. We, therefore, have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites.
4. Email Newsletter
If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we will collect your email address. We use this information solely to send you the updates you requested, such as notifications about tax law changes. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of every email.
5. Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any changes.
