Privacy Policy

1. Scope of this privacy policy

This privacy policy applies to Settlement Calculator Pro pages and calculators published at settlementcalculatorpro.com. It explains what information may be processed when you visit the site, use a calculator, click a link, or contact us.

This policy is written for the current site model. If we later add account features, saved calculator results, email newsletters, advertising pixels, embedded third-party calculators, payment tools, or server-side result storage, this policy should be updated before those features are launched.

2. Calculator inputs are processed in your browser

The settlement calculators are designed as browser-based tools. When you enter numbers such as medical bills, lost wages, injury severity, fault percentage, or policy limits, the calculator code processes those values in your browser to display an educational estimate.

We do not intentionally collect, store, transmit, sell, or save the numbers you type into static calculator fields. No account is required to use the calculators, and no calculator result is hidden behind a required signup form.

3. Information you choose to provide

If you contact us through a contact form, email address, or support link, we may receive the information you choose to send. This may include your name, email address, message content, page URL, issue description, or other details you include voluntarily.

Do not send sensitive legal, medical, tax, financial, insurance, Social Security, claim, or identity information unless you are comfortable doing so. Settlement Calculator Pro is an educational calculator site, not a law firm, medical provider, tax advisor, insurer, or claims representative.

4. Information collected automatically

Like most websites, the site host, security tools, or analytics tools may automatically process basic technical information when you visit a page. This can include IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, date and time, approximate location derived from IP address, and security events.

5. Cookies and analytics

The current calculator pages do not require cookies to calculate a result. However, the broader WordPress site, hosting provider, security plugin, analytics tool, or embedded services may use cookies or similar technologies for site operation, performance measurement, spam protection, or security.

If advertising pixels, remarketing tags, newsletter tracking, heatmaps, or advanced analytics are added later, this privacy policy and any cookie notice should be updated to identify those tools and explain user choices.

6. How information may be used

Information processed by the site may be used to operate the website, display pages, calculate browser-based estimates, respond to messages, troubleshoot errors, improve page content, protect against spam or abuse, maintain security, and understand which pages are useful to visitors.

Calculator field values are not used to build user profiles, sell leads, or generate targeted ads by the static calculator code.

7. Sharing and service providers

We may use third-party service providers to host the site, deliver pages, secure the website, manage WordPress, process contact form messages, or measure basic performance. Those providers may process technical data needed to provide their services.

We do not sell the numbers you type into calculator fields. We also do not intentionally share calculator inputs with law firms, insurers, settlement buyers, lead brokers, or advertisers through the calculator code.

8. Data retention

Because static calculator inputs are not intentionally stored by our calculator code, there is no calculator-input database for us to retain or delete. Contact messages, server logs, analytics records, and security logs may be retained for different periods depending on the tools and providers used.

We aim to keep only information needed for legitimate site operation, security, support, legal, or business purposes, following the data-minimization principle described in FTC guidance on protecting personal information.

9. Your choices

You can choose not to submit a contact form or email. You can also adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies, although some site features may not work as intended if essential cookies are disabled.

Depending on your location, privacy laws may give you rights to request access, deletion, correction, or information about certain personal data. If you want to make a privacy request, use the contact page and describe the request clearly.

10. Children’s privacy

Settlement Calculator Pro is not designed for children and is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through a contact method, please contact us so the issue can be reviewed.

11. Security

No website can guarantee perfect security. We aim to use reasonable safeguards appropriate for the type of information handled by the site, including keeping the calculator model lightweight and avoiding unnecessary collection of sensitive calculator input data.

For user safety, avoid sending sensitive legal, medical, tax, insurance, financial, account, Social Security, or identity information through general contact messages unless specifically requested through a secure process.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy as the site changes. If new features collect or process additional information, this page should be updated to explain those changes. The date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last updated.
