YieldAfterTax ("we," "us," or "our") operates this website (the "Site"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
The short version
Our calculator runs entirely in your browser — the numbers you type are not transmitted to us or stored on our servers. We do collect limited, standard technical data to keep the Site running and, if you consent, to show advertising and measure traffic. We never sell your personal information.
Information we collect
Information you provide
If you contact us through our contact form or by email, we receive the information you choose to send (such as your name, email address, and message) so we can reply.
Calculator inputs
The figures you enter into any calculator on the Site are processed locally in your browser to display your results. They are not sent to us, logged, or retained.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting and analytics tools may automatically record standard log information: your IP address, browser type and version, device type, referring pages, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. This helps us maintain security and understand how the Site is used.
Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies to remember your cookie-consent choice, keep the Site secure and functioning, and — if you consent — measure traffic and serve advertising. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using the "Manage cookies" link in our footer.
Advertising and third-party partners (Google AdSense)
We may display advertising served by Google and its partners through the Google AdSense program. To provide this advertising:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, and out of some third-party vendors at aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.eu.
- Where required, advertising cookies are only set after you provide consent through our cookie banner. If you decline, we instruct our advertising partners to serve non-personalized ads where that option is available.
For more information, see Google's Privacy & Terms.
Analytics
We may use privacy-conscious analytics (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate usage. These tools may set cookies and collect the automatic log data described above.
How we use information
We use the information above to operate and secure the Site, respond to your enquiries, understand and improve usage, display advertising that funds this free tool, and comply with legal obligations. Where the law requires a legal basis (for example under the UK/EU GDPR), we rely on your consent (for advertising and analytics cookies), our legitimate interests (to run and protect the Site), and the performance of your requests.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to data portability. To exercise any right, contact us and we will respond as required by applicable law. California residents: we do not sell your personal information, and you may opt out of any "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising by declining advertising cookies.
Data retention and security
We keep contact messages only as long as needed to handle your request and for reasonable record-keeping. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, though no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
Children's privacy
The Site is intended for a general, adult audience and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new version here and update the "Last updated" date.
