Information We Collect and How We Use It

Calculator Usage Data

When you use our calculators, we may collect anonymous usage statistics to understand which tools are most helpful. This includes general usage patterns but not your specific financial inputs.

If you contact us through our contact form or email, we collect your name, email address, and message content to respond to your inquiry.

Technical Information

We automatically collect certain technical information including your IP address, browser type, operating system, and pages visited to maintain and improve our website.

Privacy-by-Design: Local Browser Processing

Privacy-by-Design is a central theme of our privacy policy. YallaCalculators.online processes financial data locally in your browser, not on our servers. This fundamental design principle ensures maximum privacy protection for your sensitive financial information.

How Local Processing Works

When you use our calculators (mortgage affordability, property fees, gratuity, school fees, visa costs, etc.), all calculations are performed entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. Your financial inputs—including salary amounts, property values, loan amounts, and other personal financial data—are:

• Processed locally: All calculations happen in your browser using client-side code
• Never transmitted: Your financial inputs are not sent to our servers or third-party services
• Not stored: We do not store your calculator inputs, results, or financial data on our servers
• Immediately discarded: When you close the calculator or navigate away, the data is cleared from browser memory

This Privacy-by-Design approach means that even if you use our calculators without accepting cookies or providing any personal information, the calculators will function fully and your financial data remains private. Calculator inputs are processed client-side, and any analytics data (if collected with your consent) is anonymized and separate from calculator functionality.

What we do collect: We may collect anonymized usage statistics (e.g., which calculators are used most frequently) and technical information (IP address, browser type) for website analytics and improvement, but this is completely separate from your financial calculator inputs. See "Information We Collect and How We Use It" above for details.

Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms (UOOM)

We explicitly honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals for users in relevant jurisdictions. GPC is a privacy preference signal that allows you to communicate your privacy choices universally across websites. If your browser or privacy extension sends a GPC signal indicating that you do not wish to have your personal information sold or shared, we will respect that signal and:

• Refrain from selling or sharing your personal information for advertising purposes
• Limit data collection to what is strictly necessary for website functionality
• Disable analytics tracking where technically feasible
• Honor your opt-out preference across all our services and third-party integrations

We recognize and honor Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms (UOOM) as required by applicable privacy laws in relevant jurisdictions, including but not limited to California (CCPA/CPRA), Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws. If you have enabled a UOOM signal in your browser or privacy settings, we will automatically apply your opt-out preferences without requiring additional action from you.

To enable GPC, you can use browser extensions or privacy tools that support the Global Privacy Control standard. Many modern browsers and privacy-focused extensions include GPC support. We continuously monitor for GPC and UOOM signals and update our systems to ensure compliance with evolving privacy standards.

First-Party Cookies

We use first-party cookies to:

• Remember your preferences and settings
• Understand how you use our calculators
• Improve website performance and user experience
• Maintain session information for calculator functionality

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling first-party cookies may affect the functionality of our calculators.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on our website with a new "last updated" date.
