Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Form8846Calculator.com ("the Site," "we," "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit the Site. By using the Site you agree to the practices described here. This policy is reviewed at least annually. Last updated: October 2026.
Information We Collect
We collect limited information in the ordinary course of operating a website:
- Server logs. Our hosting provider automatically records standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages requested, and timestamps. This data is used for security, performance, and abuse prevention.
- Cookies and similar technologies. The Site and its third-party partners may place cookies or similar technologies on your device. These may be session cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent cookies.
- Analytics data. We use Google Analytics (or a comparable analytics service) to understand aggregate traffic patterns, such as pages viewed, time on site, and approximate geographic region. Analytics data is processed in aggregate form.
- Advertising data. The Site displays ads served by Google AdSense (publisher ID: [VERIFY: AdSense publisher ID — add after AdSense approval]). Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show relevant ads and measure ad performance. See Google's advertising policies and opt-out tools for details.
The calculator itself runs in your browser. We do not require an account, and we do not intentionally collect or store the numbers you enter into the calculator.
How We Use Information
We use the information described above to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
- Measure traffic and usage patterns
- Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and technical problems
- Serve and measure advertising
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell personal information as that term is commonly understood. We do not use calculator inputs for marketing.
Third-Party Partners
The Site relies on third-party services, including:
- Hosting and content-delivery providers
- Google Analytics
- Google AdSense and its advertising partners
These providers have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review Google's privacy policy and the options available at Google's Ad Settings and the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
Cookies and Opt-Out
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Blocking cookies may affect Site functionality, including analytics and advertising. You can also use industry opt-out tools for interest-based advertising. The Site does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals in a uniform way because there is no consistent industry standard for such signals.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws, including the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information, and the right to opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar statutes. Residents of the European Economic Area and United Kingdom may have additional rights under the GDPR. To exercise any available right, contact us using the details below. We will respond in accordance with applicable law. We may need to verify your request before acting on it.
Data Retention
Server logs and analytics data are retained for a limited period consistent with security, operational, and legal needs, then deleted or anonymized. We do not maintain a database of calculator inputs.
Children
The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent age in other jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the Site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
