Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 11, 2026
HardCalc ("we", "us") operates this website. This policy explains what information is collected when you use our tools, and how it is handled. By using the site you agree to this policy.
The short version
Our tools run entirely in your browser. Everything you enter — the text you paste into a counter, and the prices, balances, interest rates and home values you type into a loan calculator — is processed on your own device and is never sent to or stored on our servers. We do not have accounts, we do not ask for your personal information, and there is no sign-up, no email capture and no credit check.
Information we do not collect
- We do not store the text, figures or files you enter into any tool. This includes every number entered into a loan calculator: loan amounts, home values, mortgage balances, interest rates and income-related figures never leave your device.
- We do not sell, share or pass your information to lenders, brokers or any other third party. This site is not a lead generator.
- We do not require registration, names, or email addresses to use the tools.
- We do not sell personal information.
Cookies and advertising
We use third-party advertising, including Google AdSense, to keep the tools free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this site and others.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors at aboutads.info/choices.
Analytics
We may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand general traffic (such as page views and country). This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
Your choices
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking cookies will not stop the tools from working, since the tools do not depend on them.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
We may update this policy. Changes will be posted on this page with a new date above.
