1. Information We Collect

Bitcoin Benefit is designed with privacy in mind. We collect minimal information:

• No Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, or other personal identifiers
• Calculator Data: All calculations are performed locally in your browser and are not sent to our servers
• Usage Analytics: We may collect anonymous usage statistics to improve our service
• Local Storage: We use browser local storage to save your preferences and calculations on your device

2. How Calculations Work

All Bitcoin vesting calculations and projections are performed entirely within your web browser. This means:

• Your financial data never leaves your device
• We cannot access your calculation inputs or results
• No calculation history is stored on our servers
• You maintain complete privacy over your financial planning

3. External API Usage

We use the following external services to provide current data:

• CoinGecko API: For current Bitcoin price data
• Mempool.space API: For Bitcoin network statistics and fee recommendations

These services receive only generic requests for public market data. No personal or calculation data is shared with these services.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal cookies and tracking technologies:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function properly
• Preference Cookies: Remember your settings like theme preference (light/dark mode)
• No Advertising Cookies: We do not use advertising or marketing cookies
• No Third-Party Tracking: We do not share data with advertising networks

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data security is important to us:

• All data processing happens in your browser
• We use HTTPS encryption for all connections
• Local storage data remains on your device
• You can clear local storage at any time through your browser settings

6. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (such as Bitcoin exchanges or hardware wallet providers). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

7. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. This service is intended for business and financial planning purposes.

8. Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal information, traditional data rights may not apply. However, you can:

• Clear your browser's local storage to remove saved preferences
• Use private/incognito browsing to prevent local data storage
• Disable JavaScript to prevent calculator functionality (though this will limit site features)

9. International Users

Bitcoin Benefit is accessible globally. By using our service from outside the United States, you understand that any data processing occurs according to U.S. standards. However, since we process data locally in your browser, your information remains under your control regardless of your location.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of our service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
