Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 10, 2025

Your Privacy is Sacred

The short version: We don't collect your personal information. Period.

Your data never leaves your device. All calculations are performed client-side in your browser. We have no servers storing your calculations, no databases with your information, and no tracking of your activity.

What We DON'T Collect

We want to be crystal clear about what we do NOT collect:

  • ❌ No personal information - We don't ask for your name, email, phone number, or any identifying information
  • ❌ No account data - We don't have user accounts, so there's nothing to sign up for
  • ❌ No calculation data - Your financial calculations stay on your device
  • ❌ No form submissions - All form data is processed locally in your browser
  • ❌ No tracking cookies - We don't track your browsing behavior
  • ❌ No analytics - We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar tracking tools
  • ❌ No third-party trackers - No advertising networks, no data brokers
  • ❌ No email addresses - We don't collect emails for newsletters or marketing
  • ❌ No location data - We don't track your geographic location
  • ❌ No device fingerprinting - We don't identify your specific device

How BoringCalc Works (Client-Side Only)

When you use our calculators:

  1. You enter data (e.g., home value, interest rate, deposit amount)
  2. Your browser calculates results using JavaScript that runs on your device
  3. Results display on your screen without ever leaving your browser
  4. No data is transmitted to our servers or anyone else's servers

Think of it like using a calculator app on your phone - your calculations stay private because they never leave your device. That's exactly how BoringCalc works, except it runs in your web browser.

What We MAY Collect (Minimal Server Logs)

Like all websites, our hosting provider may collect basic server logs for security purposes:

  • IP address - To prevent abuse and attacks
  • Browser type and version - For technical diagnostics
  • Date and time of access - For security monitoring
  • Pages visited - To detect unusual activity

Use: These logs are only used to:

  • Prevent denial-of-service attacks
  • Detect security threats
  • Fix technical issues

Not used for: Marketing, tracking, profiling, or any other commercial purposes.

Cookies and Local Storage

Cookies

We do NOT use tracking cookies. We do NOT use advertising cookies. We do NOT use analytics cookies.

Local Storage (Optional)

Your browser may use localStorage to:

  • Remember your calculator preferences (e.g., default values)
  • Store your calculation history locally on your device

This data:

  • Stays on your device - Never sent to our servers
  • You control completely - Clear it anytime via your browser settings
  • Is optional - Calculators work fine without it

To clear localStorage:

  • Chrome/Edge: Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data → Cookies and site data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy → Clear Data → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data

Third-Party Services

We do NOT use:

  • Google Analytics or similar analytics platforms
  • Facebook Pixel or social media tracking
  • Advertising networks
  • Third-party data processors
  • Customer data platforms (CDPs)
  • Marketing automation tools

Your Data Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, there's nothing for us to:

  • Delete (there's no data to delete)
  • Export (there's no data to export)
  • Modify (there's no data to modify)
  • Share (there's no data to share)

You're in complete control:

  • Your calculations exist only in your browser
  • You can clear your browser's localStorage at any time
  • You can use BoringCalc in private/incognito mode for zero local storage

Children's Privacy

BoringCalc is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We don't knowingly collect information from children. Since we don't collect personal information from anyone, this applies to all users regardless of age.

Data Security

Since we don't collect your data, there's no central database to breach. Your calculations exist only on your device, which is the most secure place for them to be.

Best practices we follow:

  • HTTPS encryption for all connections to our website
  • No unnecessary data collection
  • No data storage on our servers
  • Regular security updates to our website code

International Users

BoringCalc can be used from anywhere in the world. Since we don't collect personal data:

  • There's no data to transfer across borders
  • GDPR, CCPA, and similar privacy laws are inherently satisfied
  • No need for data processing agreements

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

If we ever change our data collection practices (for example, if we add optional analytics with your consent), we'll make that very clear and give you the ability to opt out.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Transparency

We believe in radical transparency about privacy. If you have any questions about how we handle (or rather, don't handle) your data, please ask.

What we promise:

  • We will never sell your data (we don't have it to sell)
  • We will never share your data with third parties (there's nothing to share)
  • We will never use your data for advertising (we don't collect it)
  • If we ever change these practices, we'll tell you clearly and prominently

Summary

TL;DR:

Your privacy is 100% protected because we don't collect your personal information. All calculations happen in your browser. Your data never leaves your device. We don't use tracking cookies or analytics. We don't sell or share data (because we don't have any). You're in complete control.

That's it. That's our privacy policy.
