This Privacy Policy explains how GovMath ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects information when you use this website. By using GovMath, you agree to the practices described here.
The short version
- We do not require accounts. You can use every calculator without signing up or giving us your name or email.
- We do not store your calculator inputs. The numbers you type (salary, property price, benefit amounts, etc.) are processed in your browser and are never sent to or saved on our servers.
- We use cookies for analytics and advertising to keep the site free, as described below. You can control these.
Information we collect
Information you provide
If you email us via our contact page, we receive the information you choose to send (such as your email address and message) so we can reply. We use it only for that purpose.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect limited technical data when you visit, such as your approximate location (country/region), device and browser type, referring page, and the pages you view. This is used to understand traffic and improve the site.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to measure traffic and to serve advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as well.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We display advertising to keep GovMath free. We intend to use third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to GovMath and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info/choices.
For more on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see Google's partner-sites policy.
Analytics
We use privacy-conscious analytics (including Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights) to understand aggregate usage and performance. These tools report trends, not individuals, and do not require us to identify you.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain and improve GovMath.
- To understand which calculators and articles are useful.
- To display and measure advertising.
- To respond to messages you send us.
- To detect, prevent and address technical issues or abuse.
Your rights (UK GDPR)
If you are in the UK or EU, you have rights over your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or delete it, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Because we do not hold accounts or store your calculator inputs, the personal data we hold is minimal. To make a request, contact us using the details on our contact page.
Children
GovMath is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
