Privacy policy
Effective
Your numbers stay in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Open Paycheck Calc is run by BookCricket Operations LLC ("we"). Its tools run in your web browser, on your device. This page explains what that means, and the little the site does collect.
Your numbers
The tools work on your numbers inside your browser. They are never sent to us or to anyone else. We have no server that could receive them, and no accounts. When a tool needs a larger piece of code, your browser downloads it from this site the first time you use that tool; nothing is sent the other way.
What the site collects
We don't ask for your name, email address, or any other details. Two things happen when you visit:
- Hosting. The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare receives your IP address and browser details to deliver the pages and protect the site from attacks.
- Visitor statistics. We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics to learn which tools people use. It records the page address (without anything after a "?" or "#", where some tools keep shared settings), the site that linked to it, your country, your browser, operating system, and device type, and how fast the page loaded. It uses no cookies, stores nothing on your device, and never sees your numbers.
Cloudflare is the only company that receives this information, and only to provide these services for us. We don't sell or share personal information.
What stays in your browser
To save you time, the site keeps a few things in your browser's own storage on this device. We can't see them.
- Your last answers about your regular pay (pay amount, how often you're paid, your W-4, retirement and health deductions), so the calculator starts where you left off. A bonus and year-to-date pay are not kept.
To remove them, clear this site's data in your browser's settings. Private or incognito windows forget them when you close the window.
Tracking across websites and Do Not Track
Nothing on this site tracks you across other websites, and no other company collects information about your activity here over time or across sites. So there is nothing for a browser's Do Not Track signal to turn off, and the site works the same whether or not you send one.
Ads
The site doesn't show ads yet. Before it does, this page will name the ad partners, explain the cookies they use, and say how to opt out, and where the law requires it, the site will ask for your consent first.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 13. It doesn't collect personal information from anyone, children included.
Visitors in Europe and the UK
BookCricket Operations LLC is responsible for the information described above. We rely on our legitimate interests: Cloudflare's hosting keeps the site running and safe, and visitor statistics show us which tools to improve. Cloudflare may handle this information in the United States under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK and Swiss extensions. Visitor statistics are kept in full for 7 days, then only as a sample of about one visit in ten.
You can ask us for access to, correction of, or deletion of information about you, or object to its use, by writing to hello@openpaycheckcalc.com. Because we hold no names or accounts, we usually can't link information to you, but we'll tell you what we can. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Changes and questions
If this policy changes, we'll post the new version here with a new effective date. Questions: hello@openpaycheckcalc.com.
