BudgetGate operates this website ("the Site") and the tools available on it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your data.
All calculations performed by BudgetGate tools run entirely within your browser. No financial figures, budget inputs, or calculation results are transmitted to any server. We have no access to the numbers you enter.
When you visit the Site, our hosting provider may collect standard server log data, including:
This data is used solely for technical operation and security of the Site. We do not use it to identify individual users or for advertising purposes.
BudgetGate uses a single cookie preference stored in your browser's localStorage to remember whether you have accepted the cookie notice. This stores only the value "1" against the key "ck" and contains no personal information.
No advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or analytics cookies are placed on your device by BudgetGate.
The Site loads fonts from Google Fonts via a CSS link request. This may result in your browser's IP address being logged by Google's servers as part of the font delivery request. This is a standard browser behavior. For more information, see the Google Privacy Policy.
Blog cover images are served from Unsplash's CDN. The same note applies: your browser makes a standard image request to Unsplash servers. No personal data is shared by BudgetGate in this process.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the following rights regarding any personal data we process:
Because BudgetGate does not collect personal financial data, most of these rights apply only to the server log data retained by our hosting provider. To exercise these rights, use the contact form on this page or refer to your hosting provider's data processing agreements.
Server log data is retained for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted. No tool inputs are ever stored. LocalStorage data (cookie preference) remains in your browser until you clear your browser storage.
BudgetGate is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has used the Site, no financial data has been retained.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When we do, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, use the contact form on this page. We aim to respond within five business days.
