Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Retire Projector is an independent, US-based website offering free retirement-planning calculators. We are not a financial institution and are not affiliated with the IRS, the Social Security Administration or any government agency. Questions? Email [email protected].

2. Your calculator inputs stay in your browser

The numbers you type into our calculators (salary, age, balances, contribution rates) are processed in your browser to compute and chart your results. We do not transmit, log or store your financial inputs on our servers. If you choose to share a results link, those values are encoded in the URL you copy - share it only with people you trust.

3. Information we do collect

• Messages you send us: if you email us, we receive the name, email address and content you provide.
• Usage data: standard technical information collected automatically (IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, referring site) through cookies and analytics.

We do not require registration and we do not sell your personal information.

4. How we use information

• To operate, secure and improve the website;
• To respond to messages you send us;
• To understand site usage in aggregate;
• To display advertising that keeps the calculators free.

5. Cookies & third parties

• Google Analytics / Tag Manager: aggregated, non-identifying usage statistics;
• Google AdSense: to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info;
• Cloudflare: security, caching and performance.

6. Your privacy choices (US)

Depending on your state (for example California under the CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, delete, correct or opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. Because we do not sell personal information and do not collect your financial inputs, most of these rights have little to act on - but you can always contact us at [email protected] to make a request. You can also control ad personalization via the links above.

7. Data retention

We keep correspondence only as long as needed to respond and for our records. Aggregated analytics are retained per our providers’ standard periods.

8. Children

This site is intended for adults planning for retirement and is not directed at children under 13.

9. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date below reflects the latest version.

Effective date: June 17, 2026.
