Welcome to USA Tools Tech (“USA Tools Tech,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect information when you visit or use usatoolstech.com (the “Website”), including our financial calculators, money tools, educational content, guides, forms, and other services available through the Website.

Calculator inputs may nevertheless be processed by your browser, our hosting infrastructure, analytics systems, advertising technologies, or other technical services depending on how the Website is configured.

You should therefore avoid entering unnecessary sensitive personal information into calculators.

USA Tools Tech does not require your Social Security number, bank account password, credit card number, or other financial account credentials merely to use our general calculators.

Google’s publisher requirements specifically recommend that websites disclose the use of advertising cookies and provide information regarding personalized advertising and opt-out choices.

The availability of personalized or non-personalized advertising may depend on the visitor’s location, consent choices, applicable law, browser/device settings, and the configuration of our advertising partners.

11. We Do Not Sell Your Information for Money

USA Tools Tech does not sell your personal information for money in the ordinary sense of selling a customer database.

However, certain advertising or analytics technologies may constitute “sale,” “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a similar activity under certain state privacy laws, depending on the technology used and the applicable legal definitions.

Where a law gives you a right to opt out of such activities, we will provide the applicable mechanism required by that law.

12. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), applies to our business and your information, you may have certain privacy rights.

Depending on applicable law, these may include:

  • Right to know/access information about personal information collected;
  • Right to delete personal information, subject to exceptions;
  • Right to correct inaccurate personal information;
  • Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information;
  • Right to limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information, where applicable;
  • Right to non-discrimination for exercising applicable privacy rights.

California’s privacy framework provides consumers with rights including access, deletion, correction, opt-out rights, and protection against discrimination for exercising applicable rights.

These rights are subject to applicable legal exceptions and limitations.

How to Submit a California Privacy Request

You may contact us using the contact information provided in the Contact Us section of this Privacy Policy.

When making a request, please provide enough information for us to reasonably verify your identity and understand the request.

We will not require you to create an account solely to submit a privacy request.

We may request additional information where reasonably necessary to verify a request and protect against fraudulent requests.

13. Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Several U.S. states have enacted or may enact comprehensive consumer privacy laws.

Depending on where you live, whether a particular law applies to USA Tools Tech, and whether you satisfy applicable legal requirements, you may have rights relating to:

  • Access;
  • Correction;
  • Deletion;
  • Data portability;
  • Opting out of certain targeted advertising;
  • Opting out of certain sales or sharing of personal information;
  • Restricting certain processing;
  • Appealing a privacy-rights decision;
  • Other rights provided by applicable state law.

We intend to honor privacy rights that are legally applicable to our processing activities.

Because state privacy laws differ in scope and requirements, not every right applies to every visitor or every business.

14. Global Privacy Control and Opt-Out Signals

Certain privacy laws may recognize browser-based privacy signals, including Global Privacy Control (GPC), as a method for communicating certain opt-out preferences.

Where legally required and technically applicable, we will process recognized privacy signals in accordance with applicable law and our configured privacy technologies.

The effect of a privacy signal may depend on:

  • The visitor’s location;
  • Applicable law;
  • The type of processing;
  • Our advertising and analytics configuration;
  • Technical limitations.

15. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting.

Because there is currently no universal technical standard for interpreting every DNT signal, our Website may not respond to all DNT signals in the same way.

Where applicable law requires a particular response to a browser-based privacy signal, we will follow the requirements applicable to us.

16. Children’s Privacy

USA Tools Tech is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 for purposes prohibited by applicable law.

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) imposes specific requirements on websites directed to children under 13 and on certain general-audience services that have actual knowledge they are collecting personal information from children under 13.

If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us in a manner covered by COPPA, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 in circumstances where COPPA requires parental consent and we did not obtain the required consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information as required by applicable law.

17. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may depend on:

  • The purpose for which information was collected;
  • Legal requirements;
  • Accounting or business requirements;
  • Security requirements;
  • Dispute resolution;
  • Fraud prevention;
  • Technical requirements.

Information that is no longer required may be deleted, anonymized, aggregated, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable law.

18. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Security measures may include:

  • HTTPS/SSL encryption;
  • Access controls;
  • Security monitoring;
  • Hosting-provider security measures;
  • Software updates;
  • Spam and abuse protection;
  • Other reasonable technical safeguards.

However, no Internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through the Internet.

19. Third-Party Links

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites, services, financial institutions, government resources, advertisers, or other external websites.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites.

Before providing personal information to a third party, you should review that third party’s privacy policy.

20. Financial Information and Sensitive Data

USA Tools Tech provides financial calculators and educational information.

We do not need your actual banking credentials, credit-card passwords, Social Security number, or online banking login information to use our ordinary calculators.

You should not enter highly sensitive financial information into calculator fields unless the specific feature clearly requires it and provides an appropriate secure mechanism.

Calculator results are generally estimates based on the information entered and assumptions used by the particular tool.

If you voluntarily provide your email address, we may use it to:

  • Respond to your inquiry;

We may use third-party security, spam-prevention, CAPTCHA, or fraud-prevention services.

These services may collect technical information about your device, browser, IP address, and interaction with the Website to determine whether activity appears legitimate or automated.

Their processing is governed by their respective privacy policies.

23. Legal Basis and Legitimate Interests

Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing personal information, we may process information based on one or more of the following:

  • Your consent;
  • Performance of a requested service;
  • Compliance with a legal obligation;
  • Protection of legitimate interests;
  • Security and fraud prevention;
  • Other lawful bases permitted under applicable law.

The applicable legal basis may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose of processing.

24. International Visitors

If you access the Website from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.

Privacy protections in those locations may differ from those in your country.
