Privacy Policy

Last updated September 29, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information PaycheckByState (“we”, “us”), operated by Hindustan Prime, collects when you visit paycheckbystate.com, and the choices you have.

Your calculator inputs

The salary, state, filing status and other numbers you enter in our calculators are processed in your browser. They are not sent to our servers or stored in an account, because the site has no sign-up. If you use “Copy link” or a share button, the values you entered are added to the link’s address so that whoever opens it sees the same result — share such links only if you are comfortable with that.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested, date and time) for security, abuse prevention and reliability. We do not use these logs to identify individual visitors.

Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used — for example which pages are viewed, roughly where visitors come from (country or region), what device and browser they use, and whether they use the calculator or share a page. Analytics sets cookies (such as _ga) and sends this usage data to Google. We do not send the salary, state or other numbers you type into the calculator; the only calculator information recorded is that the calculator was used, the state selected and whether pay type was salary or hourly. Google Analytics does not store full IP addresses.

Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland are treated as “analytics cookies denied” by default (Google Consent Mode), so analytics cookies are not set for them unless they give consent. We also honour the Global Privacy Control signal for advertising-related storage. You can opt out of Google Analytics everywhere with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Learn more about how Google processes data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies or local storage for basic site function, for measuring traffic (Google Analytics, described above) and, if enabled, for showing advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; parts of the site continue to work without them.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

We may show ads served by Google and its partners. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad performance. 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 can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of many third-party vendors’ use of cookies at aboutads.info, or in the EU/UK at youronlinechoices.com.
• Learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are shown a consent message, provided through Google’s certified consent management platform, before personalised advertising or non-essential cookies are used. You can change your choice at any time using the privacy settings link where offered.

Third-party links

Our pages link to government and other third-party websites. We do not control their content or privacy practices.

Children

PaycheckByState is a general-audience financial tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of personal information we hold, and to object to certain processing. Because we do not operate user accounts and do not collect your calculator inputs, we hold very little personal data — but you can contact us at [email protected] and we will respond within a reasonable time. We do not sell personal information for money.

International transfers

We are based in India and our providers may process data in other countries, including the United States. By using the site you understand your information may be transferred to and processed in those countries.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site changes. The “last updated” date at the top shows the most recent revision.
