Privacy Policy

DevBizTools ("we," "us," or "our") operates devbiztools.com. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

Calculator data

All calculator logic runs entirely in your browser. When you move sliders or change inputs on tools like the Freelance Rate Calculator or Hosting Cost Comparison, your numbers are processed locally on your device. We do not receive, store, or transmit your calculator inputs to any server.

Information we may collect

Email newsletter

If you subscribe to our email list, we collect your email address to send you new tool announcements and freelance business tips. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email. We do not sell email addresses to third parties.

Automatically collected data

Like most websites, our hosting provider (Vercel) and any analytics or advertising services we use may collect standard log data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring URL. This helps us understand traffic and improve the site.

Cookies

We may use cookies or similar technologies for basic site functionality, analytics, and (in the future) advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site features.

Affiliate links

Some pages include affiliate links to third-party services (e.g. hosting, invoicing, accounting tools). When you click these links, the third party may collect information according to their own privacy policy. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence our calculator results — all tool math is independent and client-side.

Third-party services

We may use the following types of third-party services:

• Vercel — website hosting and delivery
• Email provider (e.g. ConvertKit or Resend) — newsletter delivery, when connected
• Analytics — to understand site usage (when enabled)
• Google AdSense — display advertising (only after approval and when enabled)

Each third party has its own privacy policy governing how they handle your data.

Children's privacy

DevBizTools is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you (such as your email address if you subscribed). Contact us to make a request.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
