Privacy Policy

Review how Fire-Calc handles privacy, cookies, analytics signals, and third-party service integrations.

The Privacy Policy explains how Fire-Calc handles data, analytics, cookies, and third-party services so users can make informed trust decisions before sharing any information. It clarifies what is processed in-browser, what is not retained as account data, and how external providers may handle telemetry or advertising contexts. This route should be reviewed when evaluating privacy expectations, consent behavior, or regulatory obligations for your region. Keeping this page accessible and current supports transparency and reduces uncertainty for users comparing planning tools. Use it alongside terms of service and about documentation for a complete understanding of platform governance and operating boundaries.

Introduction

Fire-Calc.com ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website and use our financial calculators.

By using Fire-Calc.com, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information We Collect

Calculator Data

We do not collect, store, or transmit any financial data you enter into our calculators. All calculations are performed entirely in your web browser (client-side). The numbers you enter for income, savings, debts, and other financial information never leave your device and are not sent to our servers.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, certain information may be automatically collected, including:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent on pages
  • Referring website (how you found us)
  • General geographic location (country/region level)
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)

This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies, primarily through third-party services described below.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to function properly. They do not collect personal information.

Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors interact with our website, allowing us to improve our content and user experience. We use Google Analytics 4 for this purpose; the data we see is aggregate usage (pages visited, approximate region, device type), not the numbers you enter into any calculator.

Advertising Cookies

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the Internet.

You can control cookie settings through your browser. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing cookies. However, this may affect the functionality of some features.

Third-Party Services

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your browsing patterns.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's My Ad Center. You can also opt out of many third-party advertising cookies through the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page (aboutads.info) or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

For more information about how Google uses data, please visit Google's Privacy & Terms.

Hosting, Fonts, and Delivery

Fire-Calc.com is hosted and delivered through Cloudflare, which may process visitor IP addresses to provide content delivery and security (including the email-address protection used on our contact page). Web fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. These services may collect basic usage data according to their own privacy policies. We do not load third-party CSS or JavaScript frameworks from other CDNs.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the limited information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

Since we do not collect or store your financial calculator data, there is no risk of that sensitive information being compromised on our end.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • The right to access information we hold about you
  • The right to request correction of inaccurate information
  • The right to request deletion of your information
  • The right to opt out of certain data collection practices
  • The right to withdraw consent where applicable

Since we do not collect personal financial data from our calculators, most of these rights relate to data collected through cookies and third-party services, which can be managed through your browser settings and the opt-out links provided above.

European Economic Area and United Kingdom (GDPR)

If you are in the EEA or the UK, the limited personal data described in this policy (such as IP address and usage data collected through cookies) is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating, securing, and improving the site, and on the basis of consent where consent is required for advertising cookies. You have the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability, and you may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. We do not require accounts, and the figures you enter into calculators never leave your device. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

We collect only the categories of personal information described above: identifiers such as IP address, and internet activity such as pages visited, collected through cookies. We do not sell personal information for money. Cookie-based advertising may constitute "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CPRA; you can opt out using the advertising opt-out links above and your browser's cookie controls. California residents also have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date at the top.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes are effective immediately upon posting.
