Privacy Policy

How information is handled here

This page explains, in plain English, what information the site may collect, how it may be used, and what choices you have. No dense legal language, no hidden practices.

Written to be readable. Updated from time to time as the product evolves.

What may be collected

Information the site may collect

The categories below describe what may be collected when you use the site. Not all of these apply at all times — what's collected depends on how you use the product.

  • Calculator inputs

    Numbers you enter into the calculator (such as profit, salary, distributions, and reserve %) are processed to produce planning estimates.

  • Account / signup information

    If you create an account, basic details such as your email address and authentication identifiers may be collected to manage your account.

  • Usage and device data

    Standard technical information such as browser type, device type, pages visited, and approximate location based on IP may be collected.

  • Cookies or similar technologies

    Small files or similar technologies may be used to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how the site is used.

  • Analytics-related information

    Aggregated, non-identifying information about how visitors use the site may be collected to help improve the experience.

Cookies & analytics

Cookies and analytics in plain English

The site may use cookies or similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how the site is used. Analytics tools may also be used to measure traffic and usage in aggregate.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the site work — for example, staying signed in or remembering preferences.

Third-party services

Third-party services we may rely on

To run the product, the service may use third-party providers for things like the items below. These providers may process limited information on our behalf to deliver their service.

  • Hosting

    Cloud infrastructure used to run the website and the application.

  • Analytics

    Tools that help understand traffic and usage in aggregate.

  • Authentication

    Services that handle account sign-up and sign-in securely.

  • Email delivery

    Providers used to send account-related or reminder emails when applicable.

  • Payments

    Payment processors used when paid plans are active. Payment details are handled by the processor, not stored directly by us.

The specific providers used may change over time as the product evolves. Where relevant, those providers operate under their own privacy policies.

Retention & security

Data retention and security

Reasonable steps are taken to protect information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. That said, no online service can promise absolute security.

Information may be retained for as long as needed to operate the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When information is no longer needed for these purposes, it may be deleted or anonymized.
