Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how LedgerlyTools ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website at ledgerlytools.com.

What we do NOT collect

All LedgerlyTools calculators run entirely in your browser. Numbers you type into any calculator are never transmitted to our servers, stored in a database, or linked to you in any way. We do not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or share any personal information to use any tool on this site.

Information collected automatically

Like virtually all websites, we collect some data automatically when you visit:

• Usage data via Google Analytics — pages visited, time on site, general geographic region (country/city level), browser type, and device type. This data is aggregated and anonymized; it cannot be used to identify you personally.
• Ad data via Google AdSense — Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other sites. You can opt out at google.com/settings/ads.
• Server logs — standard web server logs (IP address, request timestamp, URL accessed) retained for security purposes and automatically deleted after 30 days.

Cookies

LedgerlyTools itself does not set any first-party cookies. Google Analytics and Google AdSense set their own cookies to function. You can disable or delete these cookies in your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect ad personalization but will not affect your ability to use any calculator on this site.

Advertising — Google AdSense

LedgerlyTools uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense is a third-party advertising service operated by Google LLC. By using this service, we are required to disclose the following:

• Cookies: Google AdSense uses cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website and other websites on the internet. These are placed by Google, a third party, on your browser.
• DART cookie: Google uses the DoubleClick DART cookie to serve ads to visitors. The DART cookie enables Google to serve ads to users based on their visits to ledgerlytools.com and other sites on the internet.
• Personalized advertising: Google may use information from your visits to this and other websites to show you more relevant ads. This is known as interest-based or personalized advertising.
• Third-party vendors: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
• Data collection: Google AdSense may collect data such as IP address, cookie identifiers, browser type, device type, and pages visited. This data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Opt out: You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings or by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page. You can also opt out of the DoubleClick DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

We do not control or have access to the cookies placed by Google or its advertising partners. Calculator inputs entered on LedgerlyTools are processed locally in your browser and are never transmitted to our servers or shared with any third party, including Google advertisers.

Third-party links

This site may contain links to external sites (e.g., BLS.gov for salary data references). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites.

Children's privacy

LedgerlyTools is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect any information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date above. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
