Privacy Policy
Calculator data
Every calculator on SOFTYTOOLS runs entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Numbers you enter, such as account balances, prices and percentages, are processed on your own device. They are not sent to our servers or to our analytics, and we do not store them on any server. The only exception is the optional on-device plan history described under Local storage below, which never leaves your browser. The only information we receive from you directly is what you choose to submit through a form (see below).
Local storage
We use your browser's local storage to remember two preferences on this device: your light/dark theme choice and your selected display currency on the Calculator page. These values stay on your device and can be cleared at any time in your browser settings. The Trade Planner also offers an optional plan history: only if you press “Save this plan to this device”, the plan's inputs and results (and an optional label you type) are saved in your browser's local storage on this device. They are never uploaded or sent to analytics, and you can delete them individually, delete them all, or export them from that page at any time.
Contact and Request a Tool forms
If you submit the Contact or Request a Tool form, the details you provide (such as your name, email address and message) are sent through Formspree, a third-party form-processing service, which forwards them to us so we can respond. We use this information only to reply to you and to review your request. We do not sell it. Formspree handles submissions under its own privacy policy. To ask about or request deletion of something you sent us, contact us using the details below.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand aggregate usage of the site, such as which pages are visited, approximate location, device and browser type, and how visitors arrive. Google Analytics uses cookies or similar technologies to recognize returning browsers. We load it to measure page visits only; it does not receive the values you type into calculators. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by blocking or deleting cookies in your browser. Learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services.
Other third-party services
Pages load fonts from Google Fonts, so your browser makes a request to Google's servers, which includes your IP address, when a page loads. The site is hosted and delivered by Cloudflare Pages, which, like most hosting and content delivery providers, may process technical request data such as IP address and browser details for security and delivery. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy for details.
Cookies
The calculators and guides do not need cookies to work, and the SOFTYTOOLS site code itself does not set cookies. Cookies or similar technologies may be set by Google Analytics as described above. If advertising is enabled through Google AdSense, Google and its partners may also set or read cookies or similar identifiers in your browser to serve, measure and limit ads, as described under Advertising below. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings without losing access to the calculators.
Advertising
SOFTYTOOLS intends to use Google AdSense to display advertising on this site, and we have added Google's AdSense code to our pages for that purpose. Ads are not confirmed to be showing at this time, and whether any ads appear depends on Google's review and approval. We have not placed any ad units manually. If ads are shown, Google and its third-party vendors may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites; this can allow Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites on the internet. Google may also receive technical data such as your IP address and browser details when its code loads. These technologies are operated by Google and its partners under their own policies, not ours. See the Google link in the Analytics section above for how Google uses data from sites that use its services.
You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. We do not currently offer an on-site cookie consent tool. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. We will update this policy if our use of advertising changes.
Your choices
You can use every calculator on this site without providing personal information. You only share contact details if you submit a form. You can manage cookies and local storage in your browser, use the analytics opt-out add-on above, or contact us about information you have sent us.
Changes to this policy
If our use of data or third-party services changes, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above.
