Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Side Business Calculator ("we", "us", or "the site") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit sidebusinesscalculator.com. By using the site, you agree to the practices described below.

Information we collect

Information you provide. Our calculators run entirely in your browser, and we do not store the figures you enter. The only personal information we collect directly is your email address, and only if you choose to submit it through one of our optional sign-up forms (for example, to receive a free cheat sheet).

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information through cookies and similar technologies, such as your approximate location, browser type, device, the pages you view, and how you arrived at the site.

Cookies and advertising

We use cookies to operate the site, understand how it is used, and (on our US pages) to display advertising.

• Google AdSense.Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies, including the DART cookie, enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet.
• Other advertising partners. Third-party vendors and ad networks may also place cookies when serving ads on the site.

You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. To learn more about how Google uses cookies in advertising, see Google’s advertising policies. You can also opt out of personalized ads from participating vendors at aboutads.info (United States) or youradchoices.ca (Canada).

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve our calculators and content. Google Analytics collects information such as the pages you view and your time on the site using cookies. This data is aggregated and is not used by us to personally identify you.

How we use information

• To deliver any cheat sheet or resource you request by email.
• To respond to questions and feedback you send us.
• To measure and improve our tools and content.
• To display and measure advertising on our US pages.

Third-party services

We rely on a small number of trusted providers to operate the site: Google (advertising and analytics) and Resend (delivery of any emails you request). These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy and security commitments. We do not sell your personal information.

Email and your choices

If you sign up to receive a resource by email, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send, or by contacting us at the address below. We will not add you to a list you did not ask to join.

Children’s privacy

The site is intended for adults who run or are considering a business. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16.

Data retention and security

We keep email addresses only for as long as needed to provide the resource you requested or until you unsubscribe. We take reasonable measures to protect the limited information we hold, though no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
