Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information this site collects, why, and what choices you have. It is written to be read, not to hide behind legalese.

Information we collect

• Usage and device data. Like most websites, we log standard information your browser sends — pages visited, referring page, approximate location (from your IP address), browser and device type, and timestamps. This is used to understand traffic and improve the content.
• Cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies for analytics and for advertising. Analytics cookies help us see which pages are useful. Advertising cookies, set by our ad partners, help show relevant ads and measure them.
• The calculator. Our certified-payroll calculator runs in your browser. The figures you type are used to compute a result on your device; we do not require you to submit them to us to get an answer.
• What we do not collect. We do not ask for names, employer details, wage records, or payroll data to let you read the site. Do not send us sensitive business or employee information.

How we use it

To operate and improve the site, understand which content helps contractors, keep the site secure, and fund the site through advertising. We do not use your information to make decisions about you.

Advertising and analytics partners

We use third-party advertising and analytics providers. These partners may set their own cookies and process data under their own privacy policies. Depending on the provider, ads may be personalized based on your activity across sites. You can typically opt out of personalized advertising through your ad provider's controls and industry tools such as the browser-level "Do Not Track" or opt-out pages run by advertising industry groups.

Affiliate links

Some outbound links to software vendors are affiliate links, described in our affiliate disclosure. Following one may allow the destination vendor to associate the click with a referral. We do not receive your personal data from those vendors beyond whether a referral occurred.

Your choices

• Cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking analytics or advertising cookies will not stop you from reading the site.
• Personalized ads. Use your ad provider's opt-out and your browser's privacy controls to limit ad personalization.
• Access and deletion. If applicable law gives you rights to access or delete personal data we hold, contact us using the details below and we will respond as required.

Regional notes

If you are in a jurisdiction with specific data-protection rules (for example, the EU/EEA/UK under GDPR, or California under the CCPA/CPRA), you may have additional rights, including to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information as those terms are defined by law. We honor applicable opt-out signals where required.

Children

This site is for construction and payroll professionals and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We may update this policy as the site or the law changes. The "last reviewed" date below reflects the current version.
