This policy explains what information Best Finance Calculator collects, what it deliberately does not collect, and the control you have over advertising cookies. We have written it in plain English rather than legal jargon.
A plain summary. The full detail follows below.
Best Finance Calculator ("we", "us", "our") operates this website, which provides free financial calculators and educational articles. This policy covers this website only. It does not cover any third-party site you may reach by following a link or advertisement from here.
Using this website means you accept the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with them, please stop using the site.
We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site.
sessionStorage to remember that you dismissed the footer advert bar. It stays on your device, is never sent to us, and is cleared when you close the tab.This is the part most visitors care about, so we want to be unambiguous.
Every calculation runs inside your browser. Your income, loan amount, interest rate, property price, deposit and any other figure you type is processed by JavaScript on your own device. These numbers are never sent to a server, never written to a database, and never seen by us.
We also do not collect, and have no way to collect:
This website is free to use and is funded entirely by advertising. To make that work we display adverts supplied by Adsterra, a third-party advertising network.
You are not obliged to accept advertising cookies. You can:
Blocking advertising cookies does not restrict any feature of this site.
To keep the site fast and reliable we load a small number of resources from third parties. Loading a file from another domain means your IP address is visible to that provider.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these providers. We recommend reading their policies if you have concerns.
Depending on where you live, data protection law — such as the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA in California — may give you the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to object to it being used for direct marketing.
Because we hold no accounts and store none of your calculator inputs, in most cases there is simply no personal data of yours for us to hand over or erase. The main exception is an email you have sent us, which we can delete on request.
For data held by our advertising partner, please exercise your rights directly with Adsterra using the links in section 4. To make a request of us, contact us here.
This website is intended for adults making financial decisions. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please tell us and we will delete it.
The site is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Because the calculators run entirely in your browser and we operate no user database, the amount of data that could be exposed in a breach is extremely small by design.
That said, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this policy as the site develops — for example if we add a new advertising partner or analytics tool. The "last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the current version. Significant changes will be made clear on the site. Please review this page from time to time.
If you have a question about this policy or about how your data is handled, we are happy to hear from you. Please use our contact page and choose "Privacy or data question" as the subject so it reaches the right place.
We aim to reply to every genuine enquiry.
These three documents work together.
