Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 1, 2026

At Paycheck Calculator California, your financial privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website. Because our tools are designed for California residents, we adhere strictly to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

1. The Nature of Our Calculations

Our paycheck calculator is designed to be a “client-side” utility.

No Storage of Financial Data: Any salary, hourly rate, or deduction data you enter is processed locally in your browser. We do not store your financial inputs on our servers.
No Personal Linkage: We do not link calculation data to your identity.

2. Information We Explicitly Collect

While we don’t store your “math,” we do collect minimal data in the following ways:

Direct Correspondence: If you contact us via our About Us/Contact Page, we collect your name and email address to provide support.
Log Data: Like most websites, our servers record standard “Log Files” (IP addresses, browser types, and timestamps) to monitor for security threats and site performance.

3. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies to improve your user experience.

Functionality Cookies: These remember your settings (like “Filing Status”) so you don’t have to re-enter them on every visit.
Google Analytics: We use anonymous analytics to understand site traffic. You can opt out of this by using a browser “Do Not Track” setting or an ad-blocker.

4. CCPA/CPRA Rights for Californians

As a California-based service, we provide you with the following rights:

The Right to Know: You can ask what categories of data we collect (as listed in Section 2).
The Right to Delete: You can request that we delete any emails or contact info you’ve sent us.
The Right to Non-Discrimination: We will never provide a different level of service if you choose to exercise your privacy rights.
No Sale of Information: We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Data Retention & Security

Retention: We only keep contact information for as long as necessary to resolve your inquiry.
Security: We use industry-standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption across our entire site. This ensures that your connection to our calculator is private and secure.

6. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover a child has provided us with data, we delete it immediately.

7. Contact & Legal

By using this site, you consent to our Terms & Conditions. If you have any questions about this policy, please reach out via our Contact Page.
