Privacy Policy

Overview

This policy explains what information USPaycheckHQ ("we," "us") collects when you use this website, how it is used, and the choices available to you. We built this calculator to work without collecting the financial information you enter — the details below explain exactly what that means in practice.

Paycheck data you enter

Gross pay, filing status, state, and deduction amounts you type into the calculator are processed entirely in your browser. This data is never sent to, or stored on, our servers. Closing or refreshing the page clears it. We have no way to see, recover, or be asked to delete calculator inputs, because we never receive them.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics tools automatically log standard technical information when you visit: IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring URL, and timestamps. This is used in aggregate to understand site traffic and is not linked to any paycheck data you enter.

Cookies and advertising (Google AdSense)

This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.

Your rights under GDPR (EEA / UK visitors)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data we hold about you, and the right to data portability and to object to processing. Because we do not collect account or paycheck data tied to your identity, most requests will relate to cookie-based advertising data, which is controlled by Google as described above. To exercise these rights regarding site analytics, contact us using the details below.

Your rights under CCPA/CPRA (California visitors)

California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion of personal information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (as those terms are defined under California law), which can include the use of advertising cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can exercise your opt-out choice using the Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info links above, or by enabling the Global Privacy Control signal in a supporting browser.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "last reviewed" date at the top of this page.
