Your calculations and your privacy

FinCalc Studio has no accounts, lead form or calculator backend. Calculations run locally in your browser. Inputs are written into the calculator URL so a shared link can reopen the same scenario.

Anyone with that link can read its inputs. The URL can also remain in browser history and be visible to the host when the page is requested; hosting logs may record it. Treat shared links and downloaded reports as financial information, and share them thoughtfully. Reports are prepared in the browser, not uploaded to a report service.

Saving, successfully sharing or preparing a report can store the inputs, a key result and a timestamp locally under fc-history:v1. FinCalc Studio keeps up to 10 entries per calculator; older entries are replaced as you save more.

There is no timed expiry. Entries remain until you clear the calculator’s history, they are replaced by newer entries or browser storage is removed. Use Clear history in the calculator panel, especially on a shared device. History does not sync between devices and may be lost when storage is blocked or cleared.

Language follows the page URL: English at / and Hindi under /hi. Your browser remembers the theme choice. Your analytics decision is stored locally under fc-consent:v1 so you do not need to answer on every page.

These preferences support the site’s operation and are separate from analytics cookies. Clearing site data may remove them and show the consent choices again. Calculator access does not depend on accepting analytics.

The PWA can store same-origin page and asset files in browser caches so previously downloaded calculators work offline. Those cached files are separate from saved calculation history.

Third-party analytics scripts are not cached for offline use. You can remove site data and caches in browser settings. An old offline copy can contain old rules; use the update prompt and check the tax year and review date before relying on a result.

Google Analytics 4 is available only when configured for the production site and after you accept analytics. It is disabled in development and preview. Before acceptance there is no analytics script or analytics request. Advertising storage and advertising signals remain denied.

FinCalc Studio uses analytics to understand site usage. It sends clean page paths without input queries or fragments and events for calculator edits, copied links, prepared reports, PWA installation and language switching, with only a calculator identifier as the event parameter. It does not send amounts, rates, results or typed values. Google still processes technical connection and device/browser data, including an IP address during collection, and analytics cookies. This is not a promise of anonymity.

Accept and Reject have equal prominence in the consent panel. Cookie settings here or in the footer lets you withdraw or change your decision. Rejecting or withdrawing stops future analytics collection.

Changing consent does not erase data already sent to Google. You can also manage cookies and site data in your browser. To raise a privacy concern, use the Contact page when a contact address is available.
