Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how PTO Calculator (ptocalculator.com) handles information when you use our calculators, read our guides, or submit feedback.
Information We Collect
All calculator inputs—including your PTO balances, accrual rates, employment dates, and hourly pay rates—are processed locally inside your web browser using client-side JavaScript. We do not transmit, collect, or store your calculator inputs on our servers, nor do we append your salary or PTO balances to URL query parameters.
Contact Form Data
When you voluntarily submit feedback via our Contact page or email us directly, we receive the feedback type, subject, and message content you provide so we can respond to your inquiry or fix a reported issue. Please do not include sensitive personal or financial data in contact messages.
Cookies
We use essential functional storage only as needed to operate the website and standard analytics or advertising cookies when configured. You can control or clear cookies at any time through your browser settings.
Analytics
We may collect aggregated, non-identifying technical telemetry—such as page views, browser viewport category, and error diagnostics—to monitor website uptime, fix rendering bugs, and improve page performance.
Advertising
When display advertising (such as Google AdSense) is active on the website, third-party ad networks may use cookies or web beacons to serve relevant advertisements. Ad placements are strictly separated from calculator inputs and action buttons.
Third-Party Services
Our pages contain reference links to official government websites (such as dol.gov, bls.gov, and irs.gov). Those external sites operate under their own privacy policies.
Data Retention
Because calculator inputs are never sent to our servers, there is no server-side calculation history to retain. Aggregate server access logs and voluntary support inquiries are retained only as long as necessary for security and user support.
User Choices
You may use all 8 PTO calculators without creating an account, logging in, or providing an email address. You can reset any calculator form to its default state at any time using the Reset button.
