Privacy Policy
Learn about the information we collect, how we use it, and how calculator data is handled when you use PTO Calculator.
This Privacy Policy explains how PTO Calculator ("we," "our," or "us") handles information in connection with the website and its paid time off planning tools. Please read this policy carefully before using the service.
Information We Collect
PTO Calculator may collect limited technical information, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, timestamps, cookies, and usage data. This information helps us operate the website, keep it secure, understand performance, and improve the calculator experience.
If you use account-based, saved-record, payment, lifetime access, or support features, we may also process the information needed to provide those features, such as your email address, authentication status, saved calculator records, entitlement status, order identifiers, payment status, usage counts, and payment-related service records.
Information We Do Not Need
You do not need to upload employment documents, pay statements, tax forms, HR records, or legal documents to use the public calculators.
Please avoid entering sensitive information that is not necessary for a PTO estimate. The calculators are designed for planning, not for storing official payroll records.
How Calculator Inputs Are Handled
Calculator inputs, such as dates, PTO hours, pay rates, balances, caps, and policy settings, are used to produce estimates. Some values may be saved locally in your browser so related tools can work together and you do not have to retype the same information.
Local browser data can usually be cleared through your browser settings. If you are using a shared device, you should clear local storage or use private browsing when appropriate.
How We Use Information
We use information to provide PTO balance, accrual, payout, and planning estimates; maintain website functionality; improve usability; prevent abuse; debug technical issues; operate optional account or payment features; and comply with legal or security requirements.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies, local storage, and similar browser technologies to remember preferences, support calculator workflows, understand site usage, and maintain security. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling them may affect parts of the site.
Third-Party Services
We may rely on trusted third-party providers for hosting, authentication, database storage, payments, analytics, email, security, and AI or automation features. These providers may process information as needed to perform their services.
Payments for paid calculator access are processed by Creem or related payment service providers. We do not store full card numbers or complete payment credentials on our servers.
Third-party services have their own privacy practices. We do not control how those providers independently handle information outside the services they provide to us.
Data Security and Retention
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed through the site. No website or online service can guarantee absolute security.
We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required for legal, security, payment, or operational reasons.
Your Choices
You can clear browser-stored calculator data, manage cookies in your browser, sign out on shared devices, and avoid entering information that is not needed for an estimate.
If you have questions or requests about privacy, you can contact us by email.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the website, our practices, or applicable requirements. Updates will be posted on this page.
