Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

ParentCareCalc is a free, independent tool that helps families compare senior care costs. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

Information We Collect

ParentCareCalc does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information you enter into the calculator. All inputs — your state, care hours, wage, and home modification estimates — are processed entirely within your browser and are never sent to any server.

We do not require an account, email address, or any identifying information to use this tool.

Analytics

This site may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the calculator. Google Analytics collects anonymized data including pages visited, time on site, and general geographic region (country/state level). It does not collect personally identifiable information. If Analytics is enabled, you can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Third-Party Links

This site contains links to external resources including Medicare.gov, VA.gov, benefits.gov, and eldercare.acl.gov. These are government websites with their own privacy policies. ParentCareCalc is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any external site.

Data Security

Because ParentCareCalc does not collect or store any personal data, there is no personal data to secure or breach. The calculator runs entirely in your browser.

Children's Privacy

This site is intended for adults making senior care decisions. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18.
