Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 8, 2026

At MyDollarTools, your privacy is our top priority. This policy explains what data we collect (very little) and how we handle it.

The Short Version

  • We do NOT collect or store your financial data. All calculations happen entirely in your browser.
  • No accounts, no logins, no personal data forms.
  • We use standard analytics to understand site traffic (not your financial inputs).
  • We may display ads through Google AdSense.

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

MyDollarTools financial calculators run entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. This means:

  • Your income, savings, debts, and other financial inputs are never sent to our servers.
  • We have no database of user financial information.
  • We cannot see, access, or retrieve any numbers you enter into our tools.
  • If you use the "Share Results" feature, it encodes results in the URL — we do not store these on our servers.

2. Information We May Collect

Like most websites, we collect limited, non-personal information:

  • Analytics Data: We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site (page views, traffic sources, device types). This data is anonymous and aggregated.
  • Cookies: We may use essential cookies for site functionality and analytics cookies for understanding site usage. Third-party ad services (Google AdSense) may also set cookies.
  • Log Data: Our hosting provider may automatically collect standard web server log data (IP address, browser type, pages visited).

3. Advertising

MyDollarTools may display advertisements through Google AdSense or similar advertising networks. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your browsing activity. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.

4. Local Storage

Some tools may use your browser's local storage to save preferences or results for your convenience (e.g., remembering your last calculation for comparison). This data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

5. Third-Party Links

Our content may include links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.

6. Children's Privacy

MyDollarTools is intended for general audiences and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of MyDollarTools after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
