Privacy Policy

The short version

The calculators run in your browser — the numbers you type stay on your device and are never sent to us. We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful, we may show ads and include a few affiliate links, and we don't sell your personal information. That's the whole story; the sections below add the detail.

Information we collect

We don't ask you to create an account or submit personal details, and there is no backend that stores what you enter into a calculator. The data involved is limited to:

• Usage analytics. Standard measurement data such as pages viewed, approximate region, device and browser type, and how you arrived at the site.
• Cookies and similar technologies. Small identifiers set by the analytics and advertising services described below.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to measure traffic and understand which pages help people. It sets cookies and collects the usage data above so we can see aggregate trends — for example, that a role page is popular — without identifying you personally. This information is processed by Google on our behalf.

You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites by installing Google's Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by blocking cookies in your browser settings.

Advertising

This site may display ads served by third-party advertising networks, such as Google AdSense. These networks use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads, and in some cases to show ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this and other sites. You can review and manage how Google uses this data, and opt out of personalized advertising, through Google Ad Settings. For opt-outs across many networks, see aboutads.info.

Affiliate links

Some pages include affiliate links, including links to products on Amazon as part of the Amazon Associates program. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These links may set cookies from the retailer so the sale can be attributed. See our affiliate disclosure for the full details.

We do not sell your data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. The only third parties that receive data are the analytics and advertising providers described above, and only to the extent needed to run those services. We don't build or share marketing profiles about you ourselves.

Your choices

• Block or delete cookies in your browser settings to limit analytics and advertising tracking.
• Use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on and ad-settings links above to control measurement and personalized ads.
• Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access or delete personal data held about you. Email us and we'll help.

Children's privacy

This site is intended for adults making decisions about freelance work and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the site or the services it uses change; the “last updated” date above will reflect any revision. Questions about privacy? Email hello@freelancerates.net or use our contact page.
