SalaryCalc.us (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website at salarycalc.us (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights and choices. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

Calculator data (not collected)

The salary calculator runs entirely in your browser. Salary amounts, state selections, filing status, and deduction figures you enter are processed locally and never transmitted to or stored on our servers. We do not require account creation or any personal information to use any feature of this Site.

Automatically collected information

When you visit the Site, we and our third-party partners automatically collect:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited, time on page, and navigation path
  • Referring URL and search terms
  • General geographic location (country/region, derived from IP)
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)

Advertising — Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this Site. Google AdSense is an advertising service provided by Google LLC. By serving ads, Google and its advertising partners may collect data about your visits to this Site and other websites to show you relevant, personalized advertisements.

How Google uses data for advertising

  • Cookies and device identifiers — Google sets cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) and may use device identifiers to recognize your browser across websites.
  • Interest-based advertising — Google uses your browsing history across websites that use Google services to build interest categories and show ads relevant to you.
  • Remarketing — Google may show ads for SalaryCalc.us or other advertisers to you on other websites after you have visited this Site.
  • Conversion tracking — If you interact with an ad and later visit an advertiser's website, Google may use a cookie to attribute that visit to the ad.

Opting out of personalized advertising

You can control interest-based advertising through the following tools:

  • Google Ads Settings — adssettings.google.com to opt out of personalized Google ads.
  • NAI Opt-Out — optout.networkadvertising.org to opt out of interest-based ads from NAI member networks.
  • DAA Opt-Out — optout.aboutads.info for the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out.
  • Browser settings — Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies in your browser privacy settings. Note that blocking all cookies may affect site functionality.

For more information on how Google collects and uses data in connection with advertising, see Google's advertising policies and the Google Privacy Policy.

Analytics — Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site in aggregate. Google Analytics collects usage data (pages viewed, session duration, traffic source) using cookies. This data is anonymized and used only to improve the Site.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

How We Use Information

We use automatically collected information to:

  • Analyze Site traffic and understand which pages and features are most useful
  • Display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
  • Improve the accuracy and usefulness of the calculator
  • Diagnose technical issues and monitor Site performance

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

California Residents — CCPA Rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you specific rights regarding your personal information:

  • Right to Know — You may request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect about you.
  • Right to Delete — You may request deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Right to Opt Out of Sale — We do not sell personal information. However, the sharing of data with Google for interest-based advertising may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” under CCPA. You may opt out using the advertising controls listed above.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination — We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA rights.

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

Data Retention

We do not store any salary or financial data you enter into the calculator — it exists only in your browser session and is cleared when you close the tab. Analytics data is retained by Google Analytics per their standard policies (26 months by default). Advertising data is governed by Google's own data retention policies.

Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

If you access this Site from the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you may have rights under the GDPR or UK GDPR, including the right to access, rectify, erase, and restrict processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
