LEGAL & DATA PROTECTION
Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 1, 2026 · Last Updated: October 2026
Our Core Privacy Promise: Zero Data Harvesting
The Workers Comp Calculator does not collect, record, transmit, or sell your personal or financial data. All wage calculations, disability inputs, injury dates, and impairment ratings are computed strictly client-side inside your browser engine. We never sell contact leads to call centers, insurance carriers, or personal injury law firms.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
Unlike many commercial legal calculators online, we deliberately avoid asking for or storing personal information. When you use our calculator:
- We do not ask for your name, phone number, physical address, or email address.
- We do not ask for or record Social Security Numbers (SSN) or employer employer identification numbers.
- The financial data you enter (such as wages, hourly rates, or disability status) is processed purely in your browser's temporary memory and is instantly erased when you close or refresh the tab.
2. Client-Side Computation Technology
Our calculation engine is built using standard client-side JavaScript. This means mathematical operations execute entirely on your device (computer, phone, or tablet). No form inputs or payload requests containing your injury details are transmitted to external servers, APIs, or database backends.
3. Cookies & Local Browser Storage
We believe in minimal tracking. We do not use persistent advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or third-party behavioral fingerprinting. We use standard browser localStorage strictly for:
- Theme Preference: Storing whether you have selected Dark Mode or Light Mode to avoid interface flickering.
You can clear your browser storage or disable cookies at any time in your browser settings without affecting the functionality of the calculator.
4. Web Server Logs & Performance Analytics
Like all websites hosted on modern cloud infrastructure, our web servers automatically generate standard technical access logs (such as IP address, browser user-agent, operating system, and timestamp) solely for:
- Defending against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) cyberattacks.
- Diagnosing technical server errors and optimizing CDN asset delivery speed.
- Aggregate, anonymized technical telemetry (e.g., total monthly visitors, page load latency).
These server access logs contain no personal calculation inputs and are routinely purged in accordance with standard data retention schedules.
5. Third-Party Links & External Sites
Our website contains links to official state government websites (e.g., Texas Division of Workers' Compensation, California Department of Industrial Relations, New York Workers' Compensation Board) and statutory citations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or data collection policies of external third-party domains. We encourage you to review the privacy notices of any external site you visit.
6. Children's Online Privacy (COPPA)
The Workers Comp Calculator is intended for general audiences and adult workforce participants. We do not knowingly solicit or collect any personal information from children under the age of 13.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect enhancements in technology, statutory regulations, or site capabilities. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" timestamp.
