Privacy Policy

At TransparentWage (“we”, “us”, “our”), your privacy is our priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit transparentwage.com.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

Our calculators run locally in your web browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal financial inputs (such as your hourly wage, filing status, pre-tax deductions, or selected state) to our servers. Your financial calculations remain completely private to your device.

2. Local Browser Storage (localStorage)

Our Salary Scenarios feature uses your browser's built-in localStorage to save salary configurations you choose to bookmark. This data:

  • Is stored entirely on your device and never transmitted to our servers.
  • Persists across browser sessions until you manually delete it or clear your browser data.
  • Is not accessible to other websites or third parties.
  • Can be cleared at any time by deleting individual scenarios within the tool, or by clearing your browser's site data for transparentwage.com.

3. PDF Reports

Our Download Report feature generates PDF documents entirely within your web browser using client-side technology. No data is sent to our servers during this process. The generated PDF is saved directly to your device.

4. Information We Do Collect (Cookies & Analytics)

To keep our site free, we use third-party services like Google Analytics. These services use cookies to collect non-personally identifiable information, such as browser type, device type, referring pages, and interaction data to help us improve user experience.

5. Advertising

We may display third-party advertisements on our site. Advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page at www.aboutads.info.
