Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2, 2026
Family Budget Pro ("us", "we", or "our") operates this website (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.
Our core philosophy is to provide valuable financial tools while collecting as little data as possible. We value your privacy and anonymity.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
We have designed our core tools to be used without providing any Personally Identifiable Information (PII). We do **not** require you to create an account, and we do **not** ask for or store your:
- Name
- Email address
- Physical address
- Social Security Number
- Bank account information
2. Information You Provide Anonymously
When you use our tools, such as the Budget Simulator, Job Recommendations, or Benefit Eligibility checker, you provide anonymous, high-level financial and demographic data. This includes:
- Household income ranges
- Expense categories and amounts
- Family size
- State of residence
- Skills and location for job searches
This data is sent to a third-party AI service (such as Google's Gemini) to generate a response. The data is used for the sole purpose of providing you with the tool's output for that session. We do not store this input data on our servers after your session is complete.
3. Usage Data (Analytics)
We may collect standard, non-identifying information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Service ("Usage Data"). This Usage Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address (which is often anonymized or truncated), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the time spent on those pages. This data is used in aggregate to help us understand how our Service is being used and to improve it. It is not linked to any individual user.
4. Use of Data
We use the collected data for various purposes:
- To provide and maintain our Service
- To improve the Service and develop new features
- To monitor the usage of our Service
5. Third-Party Services
We use Google's Generative AI services to power our tools. Your anonymous input is processed by their models to generate responses. We recommend you review Google's privacy policies for information on how they handle data.
6. Security of Data
The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Our primary security measure is to not collect your personal information in the first place.
7. Children's Privacy
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13.
8. Changes To This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
