Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 10, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how City Paycheck Calculator (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website and calculators. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here. If you have questions, contact us at contact@citypaycheckcalculator.com or see our Contact page.

Information We Collect

  • Calculator inputs (client-side): Values you enter (e.g., location, pay frequency, gross pay, 401(k)%) are used to compute results. These inputs typically run in your browser. We do not add them to a user profile.
  • Contact information you send us: If you email or use our contact options, we receive your email, message content, and any details you provide (e.g., URL, screenshots).
  • Device & usage data: Standard log data (IP address, browser type, pages visited, referrer, timestamps) and aggregated analytics to understand site performance and improve features.
  • Cookies & similar tech: See our Cookie Policy & Consent for details and controls.
  • Affiliate/advertising signals (if enabled): Click tracking and attribution parameters may be processed to measure referrals; these may use cookies.

How We Use Information

  • Provide calculators & content: Show results and keep the site running.
  • Improve and troubleshoot: Diagnose issues, analyze performance, and develop new features.
  • Communicate with you: Respond to questions, fix reported issues, and handle data requests.
  • Compliance: Meet legal obligations, enforce terms, and protect against misuse.
  • Monetization: Operate ads or affiliate links (if present). Monetization does not change calculator logic.

How We Share Information

  • Service providers: We may share limited data with vendors who host our site, provide analytics, security, or email services—under contracts that restrict use to providing the service.
  • Affiliate/ads partners (if used): To measure referrals or serve ads; cookies may be involved. See Cookie Policy & Consent to control.
  • Legal & safety: To comply with laws, enforce our terms, or protect rights, safety, and security.
  • Business transfers: In a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, data may transfer as part of the transaction.

We do not sell your personal information. If advertising cookies are enabled, certain disclosures may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising in California—use our cookie controls to opt out.
