GetClac ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website getclac.xyz and its free online calculators (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use the Site, how that information is used and disclosed, and what choices you have.
1. Summary
The calculators on this Site run entirely inside your web browser. We do not ask for your name, email address, or any account credentials, because the Site has no user accounts. We do not operate a database of users. Any advertising shown on the Site is served by third-party vendors who may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
2. Information you provide
You do not need to provide any personal information to use the calculators. The figures you enter into a calculator (such as your self-employment profit, W-2 wages, filing status, and state tax rate) are processed locally in your browser by JavaScript running on your own device.
These inputs are not transmitted to us. They are not sent over the network, not written to our servers, and not stored anywhere by this Site. Closing the page discards them completely. Please do not enter information you consider confidential if a future version of the Site adds storage or transmission features.
3. Information collected automatically
Like nearly all websites, this Site may record the following technical information through server logs and analytics:
- Your IP address (which may be anonymized or truncated by the hosting provider)
- Your browser type, version, and operating system
- Your referring page and the pages you visit on the Site
- The approximate geographic region derived from your IP address
- Device screen size and language preference
This information is used in aggregate to understand how visitors use the Site, to diagnose technical problems, and to improve the calculators. It is not used to identify you as an individual.
4. Cookies and local storage
This Site does not set its own tracking cookies. Your calculator inputs are held only in the page's memory while it is open and are never written to browser storage.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may set cookies or use similar technologies (such as web beacons and local storage) when advertising is displayed. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this and/or other sites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
5. Advertising and third-party vendors
This Site is supported by advertising. We may use third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense, to display advertisements. These partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to collect data such as your IP address, your browser, and the pages you view in order to measure and personalize advertising.
Third-party vendors are responsible for their own data collection practices. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies, not this one. We do not control and are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any third-party site, including any site to which a link on this Site may direct you.
Any compensation we receive from advertising does not influence the accuracy of the calculations, the neutrality of the content, or the editorial decisions made on this Site. Advertisers do not have access to your calculator inputs, and the advertisers are not given any personally identifying information by the Site.
6. How we use information
If we collect technical information as described above, we use it to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
- Analyze traffic patterns and understand which calculators are most useful
- Detect abuse, bots, and other automated misuse, and protect the Site
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not share it for money.
7. Data retention
Server log records are retained only for as long as needed for security and operational purposes, typically a short period measured in days or months, after which they are deleted or anonymized. Because calculator inputs never leave your device, there is no user data for us to retain.
8. Children's privacy
This Site is a general-audience tool intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
9. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of personal information, and to object to certain uses. Since we do not collect identifying personal information through the Site, there is generally nothing for us to disclose or delete. You may nonetheless:
- Opt out of personalized ads via Google Ads Settings
- Opt out of third-party vendor cookies via aboutads.info
- Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies
- Use your browser's private or incognito mode to prevent local storage
10. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the Site and any information under our control. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Third-party links
The Site links to external resources, such as the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, for reference. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any third-party website. Following an external link takes you away from this Site, and that site's own terms and policies then apply.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the Site, our advertising partners, or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the revised policy.
13. Contact us
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us at privacy@getclac.xyz. We aim to respond to reasonable privacy inquiries within a reasonable time.
