Privacy Policy: Calculators, Logs and Ads

How BEFORE.YOU handles calculator entries, server logs, contact messages, advertising technology and privacy choices.

Quick summary

Calculator entries stay in the browser

The site does not send the numbers entered into a calculator to its server.

Basic logs may still exist

Normal security logs can include an IP address, browser information, requested URL and time.

Advertising choices come first

Where consent is required, non-essential advertising technology must wait for the visitor's choice.

Calculator data

Calculator entries remain in your browser and are not sent to our server. Standard server logs may record IP address, user agent, requested URL and time for security and reliability.

Advertising and third-party technology

The advertising disclosure explains our ad placement and editorial rules. If Google ads are turned on, Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses or similar identifiers. These can provide, measure and personalize ads where allowed.

Visitors in regions that require consent will get privacy choices before non-essential ad technology runs. Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Contact data and choices

If you contact us, we use your message to reply and keep a correction record. We do not ask for loan account numbers, policy numbers or identity documents.

Browser controls can restrict cookies. Any site consent control will provide the choices required for the visitor’s region.

Retention and security

We keep logs and messages only as long as reasonably needed for security, reliability and correction history. No internet service can promise perfect security.

Do not send private financial records. Requests about personal information can be sent through the contact page.
