Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

AYCalculator ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at aycalculator.com. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.

We do not require an account or registration to use our calculators. All calculator inputs are processed locally in your browser — we do not transmit your calculation inputs to our servers.

Information We Collect

Analytics Data

We use Google Tag Manager to load analytics tools that collect standard website usage data, including pages visited, time on site, device type, browser type, and approximate geographic location (country/region level). This data is aggregated and used to improve the quality of our calculators and content.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site or other sites on the internet.

We do not control the privacy practices of these third-party services. We recommend reviewing their individual privacy policies for more information.
