Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 7, 2026

StubRate (“we”, “us”) provides free take-home pay and job-cost estimate tools at this website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use it. By using StubRate, you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

Information you enter into tools

Calculator and compare-offer fields (such as salary, state, commute details, and benefits) are processed in your browser to produce estimates. We do not require an account. Unless we later add an optional save/email feature, those inputs are not stored on our servers as a personal profile.

Automatic technical data

Like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics tools may collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, approximate location derived from IP, referring URL, and timestamps. This helps us operate, secure, and improve the site.

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners may use cookies, pixels, or local storage for essential site functions, analytics, and advertising (including Google AdSense or similar networks once enabled). You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may limit parts of the site or ad personalization.

How we use information

To provide and improve the calculator and related content
To understand traffic and performance (analytics)
To show advertisements and measure ad performance
To detect abuse, debug issues, and protect the service
To comply with law when required

Advertising

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to StubRate and/or other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info/choices.

Analytics

We may use Google Analytics or similar services to understand how visitors use StubRate. These providers may set their own cookies and process data under their own privacy policies.

Data sharing

We do not sell your personal information as a standalone product. We may share data with service providers that help us run the site (hosting, analytics, advertising, security) under contracts that limit their use of the data. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and the integrity of StubRate.

Data retention

Server logs and analytics are retained only as long as needed for operations, security, and reporting, unless a longer period is required by law. Browser-side calculator inputs typically last only for your session unless you keep the tab open or we add an explicit save feature.

Children’s privacy

StubRate is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided such information, contact us and we will delete it.

International visitors

StubRate is operated with a U.S. audience in mind. If you visit from another country, your information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our providers operate.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after updates means you accept the revised policy.
