Privacy Policy

What we collect

Nothing that identifies you. FairBuyout has no accounts, no signup, and no server-side database for calculator inputs. Every calculation — the numbers you type into a calculator, the resulting buyout figure, the PDF summary — is computed entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you enter into a calculator is transmitted to us, stored on a server, or shared with a third party. When you close or refresh the page, that data is gone.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site — which calculators are popular, how people arrive, and where they drop off. This helps us improve the tools. Google Analytics collects anonymous usage data (such as pages visited, approximate location from your IP address, browser, and device type) and uses cookies to distinguish visits from returning users. We use this information in aggregate only; we do not use it to build a profile of you, and we do not connect it to anything you enter into a calculator. Google's own privacy policy describes how it processes this data.

You can opt out of Google Analytics for this site at any time by installing the official Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or by blocking analytics cookies in your browser settings.

Hosting and standard web logs

Like any website, our hosting provider may log basic request metadata (IP address, user agent, requested URL) for security and reliability purposes. This is standard infrastructure logging, not analytics tied to you personally.

Advertising

The site reserves space for advertising to keep the calculators free, but ad units are not currently active. If and when ads are enabled, the ad network may set cookies or use similar technology in your browser to serve and measure ads — this policy will be updated to name the network and explain your choices before that happens.

Local storage

We use your browser's local storage for one thing: remembering your light/dark theme preference. It never leaves your device.

Changes to this policy

If our data practices change — for example, when ads are activated — we'll update this page with a new "last updated" date.
