Privacy Policy

Overview

This privacy policy describes how FreeUnemploymentCalculator.com ("we," "us," or "our") collects and uses information when you visit our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy.

Calculator Data — Stays in Your Browser

The wages, expense figures, and other inputs you enter into our calculators are processed entirely in your browser. We never transmit, store, or have access to any wages, financial information, or personal details you enter. This data never leaves your device.

Information We Collect Automatically

When you visit our site, we may automatically collect:

• Log data: IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. This is standard web server logging.
• Analytics: We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, session duration, geographic region). Google Analytics uses cookies and collects anonymized usage data. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
• Advertising cookies: We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements. AdSense may use cookies to show relevant ads based on your browsing history. You can opt out via Google Ad Settings.

Cookies

We use cookies for analytics (Google Analytics) and advertising (Google AdSense). You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect the calculator functionality, since calculator data is not cookie-based.

Third-Party Links

Our site links to official state unemployment portals, the Department of Labor, and third-party services (job boards, resume builders) as affiliate links. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click through and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. This does not influence the content or accuracy of our calculator data.

Data Retention

We do not store any personally identifiable information from calculator usage. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' standard retention settings (14 months by default).

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
