Information you choose to provide
Calculator entries
Calculator math runs locally in your web browser. The dollar amounts, distances, wattage, rates, and other values you type are not intentionally transmitted to or stored by Everyday Totals. Do not enter account numbers, passwords, Social Security numbers, payment-card details, or other sensitive information.
Contact messages
When you submit the contact form, we receive the name, email address, subject, message, and any other information you include. The form is processed through the site's hosting provider, Netlify. We use the information to respond, investigate errors, prevent abuse, and improve the site. Do not send sensitive financial, health, identity, or login information.
Information stored on your device
The daily savings game and certain planning tools may use browser local storage to remember progress, preferences, or entries you deliberately choose to keep. This makes interactive features work without an account. The data stays in that browser profile unless your browser synchronizes storage, a third-party extension accesses it, or you clear site data. You can delete it through your browser's privacy or site-storage settings.
Automatic technical information
When a browser requests a page, the hosting provider and security systems may receive information such as an IP address, browser and device type, requested page, date and time, referring page, response status, and diagnostic logs. This information is commonly required to deliver files, prevent attacks, troubleshoot outages, and understand aggregate use. Retention and processing by Netlify are governed by Netlify's own policies.
Advertising and Google AdSense
Everyday Totals uses or intends to use Google AdSense to display advertising. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device identifiers, and related technologies to serve, measure, limit, and personalize ads where permitted. Advertising cookies can help select ads based on visits to this and other websites.
You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at Google's partner-sites information page. You can manage Google ad personalization at Google Ads Settings. Additional opt-out choices may be available through YourAdChoices. Opting out of personalized advertising does not necessarily remove all ads.
Consent choices
Where applicable law requires consent, a consent message may be shown before certain advertising cookies or similar technologies are used. Your available choices may depend on your region. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser. Blocking cookies can affect some site or advertising features.
How information is used
- Provide, secure, and maintain the website.
- Respond to messages and investigate reported problems.
- Measure site performance and prevent spam or abuse.
- Improve calculators, guides, accessibility, and navigation.
- Display and measure advertising, subject to available consent choices.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce site terms.
Sharing and service providers
Information may be processed by service providers that help host the website, deliver contact forms, secure traffic, or provide advertising and consent tools. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or safety, investigate abuse, or complete a business transfer. Everyday Totals does not sell calculator entries, because those entries are not intentionally collected by the site.
Retention
Local game information remains on your device until you or your browser removes it. Contact messages may be kept as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain a record of the request, prevent abuse, or meet legal obligations. Hosting and advertising providers set their own retention periods for data they process.
External links
Guides may link to third-party websites. Their privacy practices are their own. A link does not mean Everyday Totals controls or endorses another site's privacy choices.
Children's privacy
Everyday Totals is a general-audience site and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child submitted personal information, use the contact page so the issue can be reviewed.
Your choices and requests
You can avoid sending a contact message, clear local storage, delete or block cookies, and adjust advertising choices as described above. Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights regarding access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or appeal for personal information that is actually held. To make a request, contact us and identify the request and the email address used to communicate. Identity may need to be verified before a request is completed.
Policy changes
This policy may be updated when the site, advertising setup, providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top will be revised. Material changes may also be highlighted on the site.
