Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-06-12
This Privacy Policy explains how Profitmates ("we", "our") handles information when you visit and use profitmates.com. Profitmates is a static calculator site; calculations run locally in your browser.
1. What We Do Not Collect by Default
- We do not require account signup for core calculator usage.
- We do not upload your input figures, cost structures, or pricing data to our server in normal workflows.
- We do not store your calculation history on our server.
2. Data We May Collect
- Technical and usage data: IP address (or masked form, depending on provider setup), device/browser details, pages viewed, timestamps, referrer, and performance/security logs.
- Cookies and similar identifiers: used for site functionality, measurement, and advertising where enabled.
- Contact data: if you email us, we process the information you provide to respond.
- Local-only data: your browser may store the most recent calculator inputs in localStorage so that returning visits feel faster. This data never leaves your device.
3. Advertising Disclosure (Google AdSense and Other Vendors)
We may use Google AdSense and other advertising vendors to serve ads. These vendors may use cookies, mobile identifiers, and/or similar technologies to personalize ads, measure performance, and prevent fraud.
- Google may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other websites.
- Users can manage ad personalization through Google Ads Settings: adssettings.google.com.
- Depending on your region, we may display a consent banner or privacy choices link before non-essential cookies are used.
4. Purposes and Legal Bases
We process data to operate and secure the site, analyze usage, communicate with users, and support advertising. Where required by law, we rely on your consent for non-essential cookies and personalized advertising. In other cases we rely on legitimate interests or legal obligations.
5. Sharing of Information
We may share limited data with service providers that help operate Profitmates, such as CDN/security, analytics, and ad partners. We do not sell calculator inputs because we do not collect or store them on our server.
6. International Data Transfers
Our service providers may process data in multiple countries. Where required, we use appropriate transfer safeguards (for example, contractual safeguards or equivalent legal mechanisms).
7. Data Retention
We retain technical logs, analytics data, and support communications only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, unless a longer period is required by law or for security/legal enforcement.
8. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights such as access, deletion, correction, objection/restriction, and data portability, plus rights to opt out of targeted advertising/sharing under certain laws. To submit a request, contact us via Contact.
9. Region-Specific Notices
- EEA/UK: you may withdraw consent at any time for non-essential cookies and personalized ads.
- US state privacy laws: where applicable, you may request access/deletion/correction and opt out of certain targeted advertising or sharing activities.
10. Children
Profitmates is intended for business and adult users. It is not directed to children under the applicable digital consent age in their jurisdiction. If you believe a child provided personal information, please contact us to request deletion where applicable.
11. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards for site operations. However, no online system is completely secure.
12. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes become effective when posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
