The short version: what you type stays in your browser.
What you type
Every calculation happens in your browser. Balances, rates, payments and fees are never sent to Honest Interest or anyone else. Apart from loading the site's own files, the pages make no network requests; the one exception is the page-view count described below.
What is stored on your device
One thing: your light or dark theme choice, saved in your browser's local storage under the key honestinterest-theme when you use the theme button. Choosing "Auto" removes it, and so does clearing this site's data in your browser settings. Your figures are not saved; they reset when you reload a page. CSV files you download are saved where your browser puts downloads.
Cookies, accounts and ads
There are none. There is no sign-up, no advertising and no tracking across other sites.
Page-view counts
The site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which our host Cloudflare adds to each page, to count page views. It does not use cookies or track you across sites, and it never receives what you type into the calculators.
Links to other sites
Pages link to sources such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Investor.gov, to sister sites and to two recommended services, CleanTempMail and WebTraceCheck. Those sites have their own privacy policies, which apply once you follow a link.
