Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us especially since this tool deals with sensitive financial numbers. This page explains, in plain language, what happens (and what doesn't happen) with your information when you use CanIAffordMyRent.com.

The short version

• The calculator runs entirely in your web browser. The numbers you type in (income, rent, expenses) are never saved, stored, transmitted, or seen by us.
• We do not require an account, login, email address, or any personal information to use the calculator.
• Like most websites, we use basic analytics and may show ads, which involve limited automated data collection described below.

What we do not collect

We do not collect, store, or have access to:

• The income, rent, or expense figures you enter into the calculator
• Your name, address, Social Security number, or any other personally identifying information tied to your calculator inputs

What we may collect

Like most websites, this site may use standard, third-party tools that collect limited technical information automatically, such as:

• Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics): general, non-identifying data such as approximate location (city/region level), device type, browser type, and pages visited.
• Advertising (if ads are present on this site): third-party ad networks may use cookies to show relevant ads. You can opt out via your browser settings or the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page.
• Cookies: small text files used for basic site functionality and analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time; the calculator will still work without them.

Third-party links

This site links to external government and nonprofit resources (such as HUD, Medicare.gov, and state agency websites). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites. Please review their privacy policies separately.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last updated" date.
