Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 10, 2025
True Wage (the "Service") helps you estimate your take-home pay and effective hourly wage after deductions and additions. This policy explains what we collect and how we use it. It’s a plain‑English template and not legal advice.
Information We Collect
- Usage data: pages viewed, actions taken, device and browser information, and general location derived from IP (city/region level).
- Calculator inputs: numbers you type into the calculator. These are used to provide your result and may be stored in aggregate/anonymous form to improve the Service. Avoid entering any personal identifiers.
- Cookies and similar technologies: we and our partners use cookies and local storage for functionality, analytics, and advertising.
Cookies & Advertising
We use cookies to keep preferences (e.g., region), measure usage, and serve ads. Advertising partners (e.g., ad networks such as Google AdSense/Ad Manager) may set third‑party cookies to show personalized or contextual ads and to limit ad frequency. These partners may combine cookie data with information from other sites that use their services.
You can manage cookies via your browser settings, use built‑in controls offered by ad partners, or opt for non‑personalized ads where available. Blocking cookies may affect some features.
How We Use Information
- Provide and improve the Service and its accuracy.
- Measure performance and fix bugs.
- Show ads and prevent ad fraud/abuse.
- Comply with legal obligations.
Sharing
We share information with service providers (hosting, analytics, ad networks) who process it on our behalf under appropriate safeguards. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights or users.
Data Retention
We retain usage data only as long as necessary for the purposes above and to meet legal requirements. Aggregated, non‑identifying data may be kept longer for analytics and reporting.
Your Choices
- Use browser controls to delete or block cookies.
- Where available, choose non‑personalized ads via the ad settings presented in the interface.
- If you contact us, we can provide, correct, or delete information we hold that can reasonably identify you.
Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
International
Our infrastructure may process data outside your province/state or country. We apply safeguards consistent with this policy regardless of where processing occurs.
Changes
We may update this policy to reflect changes to our practices. We’ll revise the “Last updated” date above and, when appropriate, provide more prominent notice.
