Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
CalcRentBuy ("we," "this site") provides a free rent-vs-buy calculator. This page explains what data is collected when you visit, who it's shared with, and what choices you have. We've kept this as short and plain as the subject allows.
What we don't collect
- We don't have user accounts, logins, or a database — there's nothing to sign up for.
- The home price, rent, mortgage rate, and every other number you enter into the calculator stays in your browser's memory and is never transmitted to us or saved anywhere. Refresh the page and it's gone.
- We don't collect names, emails, addresses, or any other personal information directly.
What third-party services collect
This site uses two Google services, each of which sets cookies and collects data under Google's own privacy policy, not ours:
| Service | What it does | Data involved |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics (GA4) | Measures traffic and usage so we understand how the site is used | Approximate location (city/country level), device and browser type, pages viewed, how you arrived at the site |
| Google AdSense | Serves advertising to support the site financially | Cookies used to show relevant ads and measure ad performance; may use data across other sites you've visited |
Google's own policies govern how this data is used: see Google's Privacy Policy and, for advertising specifically, how Google uses data in advertising.
Cookies
Cookies from Google Analytics and Google AdSense are stored in your browser to enable the functions described above. You can block or delete cookies through your browser's settings at any time — the calculator itself will keep working normally either way, since it doesn't depend on cookies to function.
Your choices
- Opt out of Google Analytics: install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Manage ad personalization: visit Google Ads Settings to control how Google personalizes ads across the sites you visit.
- Block cookies generally: most browsers let you block third-party cookies in their privacy settings.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.

Questions about this policy can be sent to the contact details listed on the site's homepage, if provided, or via the domain registrant contact for calcrentbuy.com.
