Privacy Policy

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to understand site usage and improve our calculator tools.

The site transmits interaction events such as page views, completed calculations, search usage, and share actions to Google tags. Result ratings are not sent to Google. Gift amounts, budget figures, personal text inputs, shared result link contents, and the page address are not intentionally transmitted as event parameters. When consent is declined, Google tags may send restricted cookieless pings depending on configuration, while analytics storage remains disabled.

Google Analytics collects standard technical usage data necessary for the service, including truncated or anonymized IP addresses (IP anonymization is enabled), approximate location by country, browser and device info, session identifiers, interaction duration, page paths, and referrer URLs. We configure analytics to transmit page URLs without query parameters to prevent inclusion of selection values from shared links. Google may process data in the United States.

Analytics, non-essential storage, and personalized Google AdSense ads are activated only after you click 'Accept' on our consent banner. You may decline using 'Reject' on the same banner. Your choice is stored locally in your browser (Local Storage: analytics-consent). Until consent is granted, Google Consent Mode v2 sets analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization to denied. If your browser transmits a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we respect it as a refusal and do not display the banner. You can revoke consent by clearing browser site data.

Legal Basis / Consent Framework: Processing relies on user consent where required by applicable Canadian privacy standards including PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25. Google may process data in the United States. More information: Google Privacy Policy.

If you rate a calculator result, we store that score to show an average rating for the tool. A score of 3 stars or lower can include an optional reason (calculation error, wrong currency or region, hard to use, or other) and an optional short comment.

We store pooled totals for each calculator (the sum of scores and the number of votes), the same totals for each calculator and market, counts of low-score reasons for each calculator and market, and the latest 50 comments for each calculator with the market and submission timestamp. We do not ask for your name or email. Please do not include personal details in a comment.

Ratings are saved through our servers in Upstash Redis, operated by Upstash, Inc. Upstash may process this data in the United States. More information: Upstash Privacy Policy.

Session storage: this browser tab remembers that you already rated the current result (session storage key starting with result-rating:) to prevent double-counting. This data remains on your device.

Bot protection: to limit automated submissions, we keep a short-lived counter tied to an anonymized hash of your IP address. We do not store the raw IP address alongside your rating. The counter expires within 10 minutes.

Feedback ratings and temporary security hashes are collected strictly to maintain tool performance and security, adhering to fair collection and data minimization standards.

Result ratings are not sent to Google Analytics.

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Personalized ads are activated only if you provide consent via our banner. Google Consent Mode v2 transmits this preference to Google tags. If declined, storage and personalization signals remain disabled and non-personalized ads may be served.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or alternatively visiting www.aboutads.info.

Legal basis for personalized advertising: Consent under applicable Canadian privacy frameworks where required. More information: Google Advertising and the Google Privacy Policy.

We provide features allowing you to share calculation results via your device's native sharing capabilities (such as messaging apps, email, or SMS) or copy links directly to your clipboard.

How it works: When clicking 'Share result' or 'Copy result link', our application interacts exclusively with local browser or operating system interfaces (the Web Share API navigator.share and clipboard copy functions).

Data processing: No personal data is transmitted to our servers or third parties during this action. Personalized link generation and opening your device share menu happen entirely client-side.

User responsibility: Data processing by third-party apps occurs only after you actively select a service (such as an email client or messaging app) within your system share menu. We have no control over those third-party data practices.

Legal basis: Our legitimate interest in providing a seamless local sharing utility under applicable Canadian privacy guidelines.

Use of sharing or copying features may be tracked as an interaction event based on Google Consent Mode v2 consent signals. Gift amounts, link contents, and the page address are never transmitted.
