Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Retirement Planner Calc (retirementplannercalc.com), operated by GSD Local Marketing, collects, uses, and protects information when you use this website. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Calculator Inputs

All retirement calculations on this site happen entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. The financial data you enter — including your age, savings balance, income, and retirement goals — is never sent to any server. It is never collected. It is never stored. It is never shared with any third party.

Your retirement numbers stay on your device.

2. Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate. GA4 may collect:

Pages viewed and time on page

General geographic region (country and state level)

Device type and browser

Referral source (how you found this site)

GA4 does not collect your name, email address, or the financial data you enter into calculators. Data is aggregated and anonymized. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.

3. Advertising

This site displays advertisements served by third-party ad networks, which may include:

Google AdSense

Ezoic

These networks use cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve ads based on your interests, your prior visits to this site, and your visits to other websites across the internet. This is called interest-based or behavioral advertising.

You can opt out of personalized advertising:

Google: ads.google.com/home/tools/ads-settings

Network Advertising Initiative opt-out: networkadvertising.org/choices

Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out: aboutads.info/choices

Opting out of interest-based ads means you will still see ads — they will just be less relevant to your interests.

4. Affiliate Links and Referral Partners

Some links on this site are affiliate links. This includes links to financial advisor matching services (such as SmartAsset), IRA providers, and other financial products.

If you click an affiliate link and complete a qualifying action (such as registering for a service or requesting an advisor match), this site may receive a commission. This commission is paid by the partner company. You pay nothing extra.

Affiliate relationships do not affect the calculator results or the editorial content on this site.

5. Cookies

This site uses cookies for two purposes: analytics (Google Analytics 4) and advertising (AdSense/Ezoic). Cookies are small text files stored in your browser.

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect the display of ads on this site but will not affect calculator functionality.

6. Children's Privacy

This site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through this site, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

7. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including:

The right to know what personal information we collect

The right to request deletion of your personal information

The right to opt out of the sale of your personal information

We do not sell personal information. The only data collected by this site is aggregate analytics data described in Section 2 and advertising cookies described in Section 3.

To exercise your CCPA rights, contact us at [email protected].

8. GDPR (European Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. The legal basis for processing analytics and advertising data is legitimate interest and, where required, consent.

To exercise your GDPR rights, contact us at [email protected].

9. Third-Party Links

This site contains links to external websites, including SmartAsset, IRA providers, and other financial services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before sharing any personal information.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. Calculator inputs are not transmitted to any server, which means there is no financial data for this site to store or protect.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
