FirePlaybook

Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Last updated: January 1, 2024

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how FirePlaybook ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information obtained from users ("you," "your") of the FirePlaybook website and application (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy.

FirePlaybook is a financial planning tool designed primarily to operate client-side. Our FIRE calculator performs calculations within your browser, meaning your financial data remains on your device unless you explicitly choose to save or share it.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide: We do not require you to create an account to use the basic features of our Service. Any financial information you input into the calculator (such as income, expenses, savings rates, etc.) is processed locally on your device and is not transmitted to or stored on our servers unless you explicitly enable optional features that require data storage.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information: When you access our Service, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and usage, including:

  • Log Data: Our servers may automatically record standard information provided by your browser when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type and version, pages you visit, time and date of your visit, time spent on each page, and other standard log information.
  • Device Information: We may collect information about the device you use to access our Service, including hardware model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information.
  • Cookies and Similar Technologies: We may use cookies (small data files stored on your device), web beacons, and similar technologies to improve the functionality of our Service and your user experience. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, although this may limit your ability to use certain features of our Service.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To provide, maintain, and improve our Service
  • To analyze usage patterns and enhance user experience
  • To detect, prevent, and address technical issues
  • To identify and implement new features based on user preferences and behavior
  • To comply with legal obligations

4. Data Retention and Security

4.1 Data Retention: We retain log data and automatically collected information for a reasonable period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

4.2 Data Security: We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect and maintain. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Third-Party Services

5.1 Analytics Providers: We may use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to analyze how users interact with our Service. These services may collect information about your use of our Service and may use cookies or similar technologies to provide their services. These third parties have their own privacy policies addressing how they use such information.

5.2 Hosting and Infrastructure: We may use third-party vendors to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to operate our Service. While these vendors may have access to certain information, they are obligated to protect your information and may not use it for any other purpose than to provide services to us.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, which may include:

  • Access: The right to request access to the personal information we process about you
  • Rectification: The right to request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information
  • Erasure: The right to request that we delete your personal information

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the information provided in Section 9 below. Please note that these rights are not absolute, and we may not be able to comply with your request in all instances.

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 under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can delete such information.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of our Service after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
