Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 12, 2026

Our Commitment

Value Engine is designed with privacy at its core. We believe your data belongs to you, and we've built our tools to respect that principle.

How Value Engine Works

All calculations and data processing happen in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers unless you explicitly choose to save or share data.

  • Your financial data, health metrics, and personal information stay on your device
  • We don't track individual calculations or tool usage
  • No internal tracking of your calculations
  • LocalStorage is used only to save your preferences and work

Data Collection

What We Collect

  • Server Logs: Standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, page visits) for security and performance monitoring
  • LocalStorage: Settings and saved work stored locally in your browser
  • Cookies: Essential cookies (preferences) and third-party advertising cookies (Google AdSense)

What We Don't Collect

  • Personal financial information
  • Health metrics or medical data
  • Business documents or project data
  • Individual tool usage or calculations
  • User profiles or accounts

Advertising and Cookies

Google AdSense & DoubleClick Cookie

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our Service. Google's use of the DoubleClick cookie (DART) allows it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Service or other websites on the Internet.

Third-Party Advertising

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web site. These companies may use aggregated information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Cookie Usage

Cookies are files with small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a web site and stored on your computer's hard drive.

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the operation of the site (e.g. saving preferences).
  • Advertising Cookies: Used by Google and its partners to serve relevant ads.

You have the option to either accept or refuse these cookies and know when a cookie is being sent to your computer. If you choose to refuse our cookies, you may still use the Service, but some portions may not function properly.

GDPR & CCPA Rights

We respect your privacy rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

GDPR (Europe)

Users in the EEA have the right to access, rectify, or erase their personal data. Since we store data primarily in your browser, you have full control to clear it at any time. We obtain consent for non-essential cookies via our consent manager.

CCPA (California)

California residents have the right to opt-out of the "sale" of personal information. We do not sell your personal data. Advertising cookies may be considered a "share" under CCPA, which you can exact control over via your browser settings or our consent tools.

Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, there's nothing to request, delete, or export from our servers. You can clear your browser's LocalStorage at any time to remove all saved data.

Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect the limited data we collect. Since most data remains in your browser's local storage, you maintain direct control over your information.

Changes to This Policy

We'll update this page if our privacy practices change. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when the most recent changes were made.
