Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how FreelanceTally ("we", "us") handles information when you use freelancetally.com. Our guiding principle is simple: we collect as little as possible, and the tools themselves collect nothing.
The numbers you enter stay in your browser
Every calculator and tool on this site runs entirely in your web browser (client-side). The figures you type — income, expenses, rates and so on — are processed locally by the calculator and are not uploaded by it. If you choose to share a calculator link, its recipient can read the included inputs.
Some tools — for example the invoice generator — save your draft in your browser's local storage so you can pick up where you left off. That data lives only on your own device; we cannot see, access or recover it. You can delete it at any time with the tool's Clear button, or by clearing this site's data in your browser settings.
Sharing a calculation
New calculation links store their input data after the # in the URL. That fragment is not part of the HTTP request sent to the web server. Anyone who receives the full link, and any app into which you paste it, can read its contents. Share only information you are comfortable disclosing.
Older calculation links used query parameters after a ?. Opening one sends those parameters to the hosting provider as part of the initial page request. The calculator reads compatible older links and moves their data into a fragment, but it cannot undo that initial request. Create a new link before sharing again.
Analytics
To understand which pages are useful, any analytics we use is privacy-friendly and aggregate-only: it does not use cookies to track you across sites and does not collect personally identifiable information. At most we see things like page views and rough country/device breakdowns — not individuals.
Advertising and cookies
Advertising is currently disabled. A static Google AdSense account tag identifies the publisher for site verification; it does not load advertisements or set advertising cookies.
This site is designed to be supported by advertising. When advertising is enabled, third-party vendors — including Google — may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visitingGoogle Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising ataboutads.info/choices.
- Where required (for example in the EEA/UK), personalised ads and advertising cookies may only be served after you consent through a Google-certified consent management platform (CMP). We will not run personalised advertising in those regions until that consent flow is in place.
Affiliate links
Some pages may contain affiliate links. If you click one and sign up for a product, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. See our Ad & Affiliate Disclosure. Clicking such links may set cookies controlled by the destination service, governed by their own privacy policies.
Website delivery
Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes connection information such as IP addresses and request metadata to deliver and secure the site. This is separate from the figures you enter in a calculator. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for its handling of that information. Emails you choose to send are processed by the email services delivering them.
Contacting us
If you email us via the address on our Contact page, we use your message only to reply to you. We don't add you to any marketing list.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, use the ad opt-out links above, and use the site without providing any personal information. We do not provide user accounts or store your calculator inputs on our server; anything a tool saves locally on your device can be removed with its Clear button or via your browser's site-data settings.
Changes
We may update this policy as the site grows (for example, when advertising is switched on). We'll revise the "last updated" date above when we do.
