Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-09-04

Summary

Budgeter does not have user accounts and does not store your budget figures. Everything you enter into the planner or a calculator is processed in your own browser.

Information you enter into our tools

Income, expenses, balances and any other numbers you type are held in your browser's memory while you use the page. If you choose to save your budget, it is written to your browser's local storage on your device. It is not transmitted to us and we cannot access it. Clearing your browser data deletes it permanently.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may log standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, referring page and the time of the request. This is used for security and to keep the site running reliably.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages are useful. Any such data is aggregated and is not used to identify individuals.

Advertising and cookies

Budgeter uses Google AdSense to display advertisements that help fund the site. Google may use cookies such as __gads and __gac, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve ads, measure their performance, and show you more relevant advertising.

Google and its advertising partners may process data such as your IP address, browser and device information, and interactions with ads. Some of this processing may take place in countries outside your own. For more information on how Google uses data, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

When you first visit, a cookie banner lets you choose "Accept all" or "Only necessary". Necessary cookies are required for the site to work; analytics and advertising cookies are only enabled if you accept all. You can change your choice at any time through your browser settings or by clearing cookies for budgeter.site.

You can also manage how Google personalises ads for you by visiting Google Ad Settings. To opt out of personalised advertising from participating vendors, you can use the Your Online Choices or About Ads tools.

Contact form

If you send us a message, we use the details you provide only to respond. Please do not include account numbers, identity numbers or other sensitive personal information.

Third-party links

Our articles may link to external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites, and we encourage you to read their policies.

Children

Budgeter is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data held about you. Because we do not operate accounts, the data we hold is minimal, but you can contact us with any request via the contact page.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site changes. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
