Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 27, 2026. Last updated: August 15, 2026.

This Privacy Policy describes how Merchant Fee Analyzer (this website) handles information collected from visitors. Please read it carefully.

1. Calculator inputs

Values entered into the processing-cost calculator run entirely in your browser using JavaScript. They are not transmitted to any server, not stored, and are cleared when you close or refresh the page. We do not have access to the numbers you enter into the calculator.

2. Email contact

This website does not operate a contact-form database. If you choose the email link on the Contact page, your email application opens a new message addressed to the site. The website itself does not automatically collect calculator values or the contents of that message.

If you send an email, the message, sender address, delivery metadata, and any information you choose to include are processed by your email provider and the receiving email provider. Messages may be retained as needed to read, answer, secure, and document the correspondence.

Email information is used to respond to the request and maintain the correspondence. We do not sell personal information submitted by email. Do not send full card numbers, bank account numbers, Social Security numbers, passwords, tax IDs, or complete unredacted statements.

3. Hosting and infrastructure

This website is hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure. Cloudflare may process server access logs that contain standard web-access data such as IP addresses, browser type, and page request timestamps. These logs are retained and used in accordance with Cloudflare's own privacy policy.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

This website may use cookies and similar technologies for functional and analytical purposes. Cookies are small data files stored in your browser.

You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are sent. Some features of the website may not function correctly if you disable cookies.

5. Analytics

This website may use analytics services to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, traffic sources, and similar aggregate data). Analytics data is collected in aggregate and is not used to identify individual visitors.

6. Advertising — potential future use of Google AdSense

This website may in the future use Google AdSense or similar advertising programs to display advertisements. If advertising is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies allows it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. For more information about how Google uses data from sites that use its advertising services, visit Google's advertising technology information.

7. Third-party links

This website may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

8. Children's privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
