How TakeHomeUS collects, uses, and protects your information.
Last updated: April 21, 2026
Short version: TakeHomeUS does not collect any personally identifiable information. We don't ask for your name, email, Social Security number, or any other personal details. Our calculators run entirely in your browser — no salary or tax data you enter is ever sent to our servers.
TakeHomeUS calculators run entirely client-side (in your browser). Any salary, income, deduction, or personal finance data you enter into our calculators is processed locally on your device and is never transmitted to, stored by, or accessible by TakeHomeUS or any third party.
We do not collect:
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymized usage data to understand how visitors use our site and to improve our tools. This data includes:
This information is aggregated and anonymized. Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymization enabled. Google Analytics data is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
TakeHomeUS uses cookies for two purposes:
Google Analytics cookies — These are set by Google Analytics to distinguish visitors and measure site usage. They do not contain personally identifiable information. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Google AdSense cookies — We display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect the functionality of our calculators, which run entirely in your browser.
TakeHomeUS uses the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer any information to third parties beyond the anonymized analytics described above.
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you specific rights regarding your personal information. Because TakeHomeUS does not collect personal information (as defined by the CCPA), these rights have limited applicability to our site. We do not sell personal information.
For any privacy inquiries related to California rights, you may contact us at the address provided in Section 8 below.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) may apply to you. Our lawful basis for processing anonymized analytics data is our legitimate interest in improving TakeHomeUS for its users. We do not process any personal data that would require explicit consent under GDPR.
You have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal data we hold about you. Because we do not collect personal data, there is no such data to access or delete. For questions, contact us using the details in Section 8.
TakeHomeUS is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of TakeHomeUS after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
