Your privacy matters here, and this page is not boilerplate we copied in to check a box. It is one of the most important pages on this site. If you are trusting us to help figure out your paycheck, you deserve a straight answer about what happens to your information when you do.
This Privacy Policy explains how NY Paycheck Calculator (“we,” “us,” or “our”), operating the website https://nypaycheckcalculator.com/, collects, uses, stores, and discloses information. It is written to comply with applicable U.S. federal law, New York State’s data security requirements, and the policies of the third party services we rely on, including Google.
By using this Website, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. Information We Collect
A. Information You Actively Provide
When you fill out our Contact form, subscribe to updates, or email us, we may collect your name, email address, and any message you send, along with any other details you choose to share.
B. Calculator Usage Data
This is the part we want to be completely clear about. Our New York Paycheck Calculator runs entirely in your browser. That means:
- Salary, hourly rate, bonus amounts, filing status, and deductions you enter never leave your device.
- Nothing you type into the calculator is collected, stored, or transmitted to our servers.
- Every calculation happens locally, and the result is shown to you directly in your browser.
We built it this way on purpose. Payroll numbers are personal, and there is no reason we need to see yours to help you calculate them.
C. Automatically Collected Information
When you visit the Website, we may automatically collect your IP address (truncated or anonymized where possible), browser type and version, device and operating system, referring website and pages visited, and general location at the country, state, or city level.
D. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies for essential site functionality, analytics through tools like Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, and advertising through Google AdSense and similar networks. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, though turning off essential cookies may affect how the calculator displays.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve the Website and calculator, respond to your inquiries, understand usage patterns, serve relevant advertising, detect and prevent security issues, and meet our legal obligations.
Calculator inputs, since they never reach us in the first place, are never used for marketing, profiling, or anything beyond showing you your result.
3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with trusted service providers who help run this site (hosting, analytics, advertising partners such as Google), when required by law, such as a subpoena or court order, to protect the safety or rights of our users or the public, or as part of a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.
4. Third Party Advertising: Google AdSense
We participate in Google AdSense and may work with other ad networks. In line with Google’s program policies, third party vendors including Google use cookies to serve ads based on your past visits to this site or others. You can opt out of personalized ads through Google Ads Settings. For more detail, see Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s Ads Policies.
5. Your Privacy Rights
New York does not currently have a comprehensive consumer privacy law equivalent to California’s CCPA, but we do not think that should lower the bar. Regardless of where you live, you can contact us to:
- Ask what information we hold about you.
- Request a correction if something is inaccurate.
- Request deletion of information you have given us directly, such as a contact form submission.
Since calculator inputs never reach our servers, there is nothing on our end to delete for that part of the site.
Our data security practices also follow New York’s SHIELD Act, which sets requirements for safeguarding the personal information of New York residents.
6. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we hold. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection of information transmitted to us over the internet.
7. Data Retention
We keep personal information, such as contact form messages, only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law. Calculator inputs are never retained, because they never reach our servers.
8. Children’s Privacy
This Service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and if we learn that we have, we will take steps to delete it.
9. International Data Transfers
Information may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate, which may apply different data protection standards than your home jurisdiction.
10. Links to Other Websites
This Website may link to third party sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to read their policies before sharing information with them. For more on how this site works, see our Terms of Use, Disclaimer, and Calculation Methodology.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with a new “Last Updated” date. Continuing to use the Service after changes are posted means you accept the revised policy.
12. Contact Us
Questions, concerns, or requests about this Privacy Policy or your personal information can go through our Contact page or support@nypaycheckcalculator.com.
