Privacy Policy for Paycheck Calculator: Hourly
Effective Date: June 5, 2026
Paycheck Calculator: Hourly (“the App”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the Paycheck Calculator: Hourly mobile application.
By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. About the App
Paycheck Calculator: Hourly is a paycheck estimation and planning tool designed to help users estimate hourly pay, overtime pay, tips, bonuses, deductions, gross pay, and estimated take-home pay before payday.
The App provides estimates only. Actual pay, taxes, deductions, overtime rules, benefits, employer policies, and take-home pay may vary depending on your location, employer, tax situation, and individual circumstances.
Paycheck Calculator: Hourly does not provide financial, tax, legal, payroll, or employment advice.
2. Information You Enter in the App
Paycheck Calculator: Hourly may allow you to enter paycheck-related values, such as:
- Hourly rate
- Regular hours
- Overtime hours
- Unpaid break minutes
- Tips
- Bonuses
- Estimated deduction percentage
- Pay period selection
These values are used to calculate paycheck estimates inside the App.
The App does not require users to create an account, sign in, or provide personal information such as name, email address, phone number, address, Social Security number, or employer information.
3. Local Data Storage
Paycheck Calculator: Hourly may save calculation history or saved estimates locally on your device.
This means your saved paycheck estimates are stored on your device and are not sent to our own servers.
If you delete the App or clear the App’s local data, your saved estimates may be deleted permanently.
4. Advertising
Paycheck Calculator: Hourly uses Google AdMob to display advertisements in the App.
AdMob and the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and process certain information automatically to provide, limit, personalize, measure, and improve ads, and to help prevent fraud and abuse.
This information may include, depending on your device, settings, consent choices, region, and the version of the SDK used:
- IP address, which may be used to estimate general location
- Device identifiers, including advertising identifiers
- App interactions, such as app launches, taps, and ad views
- Diagnostic information, such as app performance and SDK performance
- Information used for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention
Google may use this information in accordance with its own privacy policies and advertising technologies policies.
5. Personalized and Non-Personalized Ads
Depending on your location, device settings, and consent choices, the App may show personalized ads or non-personalized ads.
Personalized ads may use information such as advertising identifiers and app interactions to show ads that may be more relevant to you.
Non-personalized ads may still use limited information, such as general location, device information, and contextual information, to deliver ads, measure performance, and prevent fraud.
Where required by applicable law, users may be shown consent options related to advertising and privacy choices.
6. How We Use Information
Information handled by the App may be used to:
- Calculate estimated gross pay
- Calculate estimated deductions
- Calculate estimated take-home pay
- Display paycheck breakdowns
- Save local estimate history, if this feature is available
- Display advertisements
- Measure ad performance
- Maintain app functionality
- Improve app stability and user experience
- Help detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or technical issues
We do not sell your personal information.
We do not use your paycheck entries to make employment, credit, financial, tax, legal, payroll, or insurance decisions.
7. Data Sharing
Paycheck Planner does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
The paycheck values you manually enter into the App are used for calculation purposes and are not intentionally shared by us with employers, payroll providers, financial institutions, or advertisers.
However, because the App uses Google AdMob, certain data may be collected and shared automatically through Google Mobile Ads SDK for advertising, analytics, app performance, and fraud prevention purposes.
Third-party services may process data according to their own privacy policies and terms.
8. Third-Party Services
The App uses or may use third-party services, including:
- Google AdMob
- Google Mobile Ads SDK
- Google Play services
These services may collect, process, or share data according to their own privacy policies.
We do not control the privacy practices of third-party services. We encourage users to review Google’s privacy policies and advertising privacy information:
9. Children’s Privacy
Paycheck Planner is not directed to children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
10. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information handled by the App.
Information collected by Google Mobile Ads SDK is transmitted using encryption in transit where supported by Google.
Because paycheck estimates may be stored locally on your device, you are responsible for keeping your device secure, including using device lock features and avoiding unauthorized access.
No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. User Control and Data Deletion
You can manage or delete information stored locally by:
- Deleting saved estimates inside the App, if this feature is available
- Clearing the App’s data through your device settings
- Uninstalling the App from your device
You may also be able to reset or delete your advertising ID through your Android device settings.
If your paycheck estimate data is stored only locally on your device, we may not be able to access, recover, or delete it for you.
12. Disclaimer
Paycheck Calculator: Hourly provides estimates for informational and planning purposes only.
The App does not guarantee that any calculation will match your actual paycheck. Actual results may differ based on employer policies, tax laws, benefit deductions, overtime rules, local regulations, and individual circumstances.
The App is not a substitute for professional financial, tax, legal, payroll, or employment advice. For questions about your actual paycheck, taxes, deductions, or employment rights, you should consult your employer, payroll provider, tax professional, legal advisor, or other qualified professional.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When we update this Privacy Policy, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
