Privacy Policy

Welcome to PayCheckup (available at paycheckup.org). We respect the privacy of our visitors and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy details how we handle the information input into our calculators and collected during your visits.

1. Zero Personal Data Storage

Unlike standard accounting or tax preparation software, PayCheckup does not require a login, nor do we collect or store sensitive personal information such as names, Social Security Numbers (SSN), bank details, or home addresses.

Any inputs you enter into the paycheck calculator—such as gross salary, hourly wages, filing statuses, or pre-tax contribution percentages—are processed transiently in memory to calculate and display your estimated net pay. This calculation data is never saved, stored, or sent to a database.

2. Information We Automatically Collect

When you access our website, we or our third-party services (such as website hosts or analytical providers) may automatically record standard logging information, including:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address.
• Browser type and version.
• Referrer URL (the site you came from).
• Date and time of visit, and pages viewed.

This data is used solely to maintain server security, monitor site performance, and improve the user experience of our free calculation tools.

3. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies to analyze web traffic patterns and remember your preference choices (such as keeping a state selected in a dropdown menu). For detailed information, please review our dedicated Cookie Policy.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosures

We do not sell, trade, rent, or lease any information collected from our users. Since we do not maintain database records of your calculator inputs or personal tax details, we have no tax profile information to share with third parties or advertising brokers.

5. Children's Privacy

PayCheckup is a general audience site and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we safeguard user privacy.
