Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 19, 2026
1. Introduction
TradingCalcs (tradingcalcs.com) is a free financial calculator website that provides trading, options, forex, and futures calculators. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding that information. By using TradingCalcs, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
Analytics Data
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Vercel Analytics to collect anonymized usage data, including:
- Page views and calculator usage events
- Button clicks and interactions
- Referral source (how you arrived at the site)
- Device type, browser, and operating system
- Approximate location (country/city level, derived from IP address)
Information We Do NOT Collect
TradingCalcs does not have user accounts or logins. We do not collect:
- Names or email addresses (unless you voluntarily contact us)
- Financial data or trading account information
- Calculation inputs or outputs — all calculations run entirely in your browser
- Social Security numbers or government identifiers
- Any personally identifiable information (PII) through our calculators
3. How We Use Information
We use the analytics data we collect to:
- Improve our calculators and add new tools
- Understand usage patterns and identify popular tools
- Improve site performance and user experience
- Fix bugs and technical issues
4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Google Analytics uses cookies (such as _ga and _gid) to distinguish unique users and track sessions. These cookies do not contain personal information.
Vercel Analytics is a privacy-friendly, cookie-less analytics solution. It does not use cookies or track individual users.
We do not currently use advertising or third-party marketing cookies.
You can disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect the functionality of our calculators.
5. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Google Analytics — Web analytics service provided by Google. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Vercel — Hosting and analytics platform. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.
- Affiliate Partner Links — We may include links to third-party brokers and platforms, including tastytrade, TradingView, Interactive Brokers (IBKR), and Oanda. Clicking these links takes you to external websites governed by their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies before providing any personal information.
6. Data Retention
Analytics data is retained according to the default retention periods of Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics. We do not maintain separate databases of user information. Because all calculations run in your browser, no calculation data is ever sent to or stored on our servers.
7. Children's Privacy
TradingCalcs is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.
8. Your Rights
You have the following choices regarding your data:
- Disable cookies — Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
- Opt out of Google Analytics — Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Contact us — Reach out with any questions about our data practices at the email listed below.
9. Data Security
TradingCalcs is served over HTTPS to ensure encrypted communication between your browser and our servers. We rely on Vercel's infrastructure security for hosting. Because our calculators run entirely in your browser, no personal or financial data is transmitted to or stored on our servers.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we handle your information.
