By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you use our contact form: your name, email address, and the content of your message. We do not collect or store any salary, income, or financial information you enter into the calculator — all calculations are performed locally in your browser.

Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit: your IP address, browser type and version, pages visited, time and date of your visit, and referring URL. This information is collected through standard server logs and analytics tools.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To respond to inquiries submitted through the contact form
  • To understand how visitors use the Site and improve its functionality
  • To detect and prevent technical issues or abuse
  • To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the Site.

5. Google AdSense and Advertising
