Calculator inputs and optional sharing

Interactive calculator inputs are processed in your browser. Finpockett has no user accounts or application database for saving financial profiles. A Share Scenario link is created only when you choose to share; its URL fragment includes your selected values. Recipients can read those values. Legacy query-string links may have been recorded in history or server logs. Use sample values for public sharing. CSV downloads and printed reports are created on your device.

Optional calculation API

The public calculation API receives the scenario numbers sent in a request and returns a computed result. It does not save those inputs in an application database. Hosting infrastructure can retain technical request logs. Do not send names, account details or other personal information to the API. Interactive page calculations do not call this API automatically.

Contact and preferences

We do not require personal contact details to use calculators. Choosing to email feedback sends the message through your email provider to the contact address. Calculator preferences and entered values are not automatically stored between visits.

Information collected automatically

Like virtually every website, our hosting provider and any advertising or analytics services we use may automatically log standard technical information when you visit — IP address, browser and device type, approximate location derived from IP, referring page, and pages visited. This is routine web server/CDN log data used for security and performance, and, where advertising is enabled, for ad delivery.

Cookies and advertising

Finpockett serves Adsterra advertising units and formats automatically on eligible educational guide pages only when Cloudflare identifies the visitor's country as India (IN). Current placements include 300×250, responsive 728×90 / 320×50, 468×60 and 160×300 display units. Advertising scripts load from bauval.org. Adsterra and its partners may process IP addresses, browser/device information, page context, cookies or identifiers, and advertising interactions. See Adsterra’s privacy policy. A browser's ad-blocking controls may prevent advertisements.

Visitors outside India, and visitors whose country cannot be reliably determined, are not eligible to load Adsterra advertising scripts through Finpockett's implementation. Cloudflare supplies the country classification on each guide response; no ad scripts appear on calculator pages or legal pages. Technical network information is still processed by hosting/CDN infrastructure. Country filtering reduces exposure but does not, by itself, establish compliance with all applicable privacy laws. Normal calculator values are processed in the browser and are not intentionally transmitted to advertisers. Share Scenario URLs place shared values in a fragment; legacy query URLs may remain in logs.

Affiliate links

Some calculators may, from time to time, include links to third-party financial products or services — for example, opening a demat account, or comparing a loan or credit card offer. If you click such a link and go on to complete a transaction, Finpockett may earn a referral commission at no additional cost to you. This never changes what a calculator shows you — the maths is identical whether or not you click through, and we don’t alter default assumptions to steer you toward a particular product.

Third-party and external links

Pages may link to external sites — for instance, official government or regulator websites, referenced when we cite a current interest rate or tax rule. We aren’t responsible for the content or privacy practices of sites we don’t operate.

Your rights under Indian law

India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA) grants individuals rights over their personal data — including being informed about collection and purpose, and the ability to access, correct, or request erasure of data held about them. The Act is being brought into force in phases; its core operative provisions (the notice-and-consent framework most relevant to ordinary websites) are scheduled to take full effect by 13 May 2027. Finpockett does not maintain a calculator-profile database, but technical logs and information processed by our hosting and advertising partners may still qualify as personal data. Where data is collected by our advertising or hosting partners (as described above), you can manage it through the tools those partners provide, or write to us at the contact below and we’ll help point you in the right direction.

Children’s privacy

Finpockett is a general-audience financial reference tool, not directed at children, and we don’t knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves — for instance, when advertising, analytics, or new features are added. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be reflected here; we’d encourage checking back periodically rather than expecting a separate notice, since we don’t hold your contact details to send one.
