CommissionSplitCalc ("we," "us," or "our") operates https://www.commissionsplitcalc.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it. By using the Site you agree to the practices described in this policy.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not require account registration to use any calculator on this Site. The calculator runs entirely in your browser — no calculation inputs are transmitted to or stored on our servers.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly

Contact form submissions. When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, the subject category you selected, and your message. This data is transmitted to and stored by Formspree, Inc. in accordance with their privacy policy (formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy).

Email list sign-ups. If you enter your email address to receive our free brokerage comparison guide or other resources, we store your email address to send you the requested content and occasional updates about new calculators and articles. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.

Information collected automatically

Usage data. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address (anonymised), browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on pages, and general geographic location (city/ country level). This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

Cookies and similar technologies. Google Analytics places cookies on your device to distinguish unique visitors and sessions. We do not use any additional first-party cookies. Third-party services embedded in the Site (Google Analytics, Google AdSense where applicable) may set their own cookies subject to their respective privacy policies.

Log data. Our hosting provider (Vercel) automatically collects standard server log information including your IP address, browser type, and pages requested. Vercel retains log data for a limited period in accordance with their privacy policy (vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to contact form submissions and enquiries
• Send requested resources and email updates to subscribers
• Understand how the Site is used so we can improve it
• Monitor and fix technical errors and broken functionality
• Comply with legal obligations
• Detect and prevent fraud or abuse

We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not use calculator inputs for any purpose — they are processed locally in your browser and never leave your device.

3. Affiliate Links and Advertising

Some links on our Resources page and within blog articles are affiliate links. This means if you click a link and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships are clearly disclosed on pages where they appear.

We participate in affiliate programs including but not limited to: Colibri Real Estate, Buildium, FreshBooks, DocuSign, The CE Shop, and others. Each of these companies has their own privacy policy governing how they handle your data after you click through to their site.

We display advertising through Google AdSense. Google uses cookies and device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting google.com/settings/ads. We do not control the content of ads served by Google or the data Google collects for that purpose.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only:

• With service providers who help us operate the Site (Formspree for form processing, Vercel for hosting, Google for analytics and advertising). These providers are contractually bound to use your data only to provide services to us.
• When required by law — for example, in response to a valid legal request, court order, or government investigation.
• To protect rights and safety — if we believe disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud, abuse, or harm.

5. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained by Formspree according to their retention policy. Email subscriber records are retained until you unsubscribe. Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months by default. Server log data is retained by Vercel according to their policy.

We review and delete unnecessary personal data periodically. If you would like your data deleted, contact us at privacy@commissionsplitcalc.com and we will process your request within 30 days.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Correction — request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Deletion — request that we delete your personal data
• Objection — object to certain types of processing
• Portability — request your data in a machine-readable format
• Withdrawal of consent — unsubscribe from email communications at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@commissionsplitcalc.com. We do not discriminate against users who exercise their privacy rights.
