# Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026 • Last Updated: Tax Year 2026

## 1. Our Core Privacy Principle: Zero Data Retention

At JustPaycheck.com, we believe your personal finances are your private business. All calculations—including wage inputs, pay frequencies, overtime hours, filing statuses, and pre-tax deduction amounts—are executed in-memory locally within your web browser using client-side JavaScript. We do NOT collect, record, transmit, or store your salary numbers or personal financial estimates on our servers.

## 2. Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not require user account registration, passwords, names, email addresses, Social Security Numbers (SSN), or employer identification numbers to use our paycheck tools.

## 3. Standard Technical Logs & Cookies

Like nearly all modern web platforms, our edge hosting provider (Cloudflare) records anonymous technical connection data including IP address, browser type, referral URL, and timestamps strictly for DDoS security mitigation, CDN caching, and performance diagnostics.

We may use minimal local storage cookies solely to remember user display preferences, such as light/dark mode choices or dismissal of informational banners.

## 4. Third-Party Advertisers & Affiliate Disclosure

JustPaycheck may display contextual links to third-party financial institutions and payroll software providers (e.g., High-Yield Savings Accounts, direct deposit apps, or payroll platforms). When you click an affiliate partner link, you leave JustPaycheck and are subject to the privacy practices of that respective partner. We may receive referral compensation if you open an account or register for services.

## 5. Children's Privacy

JustPaycheck does not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13.
