Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

PayStubSmart (“we,” “us”) is an independent website at paystubsmart.com that offers a free pay stub generator and a take-home pay calculator. Contact us about privacy at paystubsmart@gmail.com.

2. What you type into the generator and calculator

The employer, employee, wage, and deduction details you enter are processed only on your device to draw the preview and the estimates. The tools contain no code that sends those details to our server, the forms do not submit anywhere, and nothing is saved for us to retrieve later. If you close the page, the details are gone unless you printed or saved the stub yourself.

Do not enter a full Social Security number. The form offers only an optional last-four-digits field. Any PDF you save is stored wherever you choose to save it, not with us.

3. Email you send us

If you email paystubsmart@gmail.com, we receive what you send, such as your name, email address, and message. We use it only to reply and to keep a record of the conversation. Our mailbox is provided by Google (Gmail), which processes messages under its own privacy policy.

4. Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, such as IP address, browser type, the date and time, and the pages requested. These logs help keep the site secure and working. Our host may also run a browser check that uses a security cookie to block automated traffic.

The site loads its fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google’s servers and shares your IP address with Google when a page loads.

We do not currently use advertising pixels or analytics cookies. If we add analytics or advertising later, we will update this policy first and ask for consent where the law requires it.

5. Cookies

The generator and calculator do not set cookies. Cookies may be set by our host for security, and by WordPress only when an administrator is logged in.

6. Sharing

We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. We may disclose information if the law requires it, to protect the rights and safety of users or the site, or to service providers such as our host and email provider that handle it for us.

7. How long we keep information

We keep no stub or calculator data because we never receive it. We keep emails only as long as needed to handle your request or as the law requires. Server logs are kept according to our host’s standard retention.

8. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. Email paystubsmart@gmail.com to make a request. We usually reply within 2 business days.

9. Children

PayStubSmart is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Visitors outside the United States

The tools are built around U.S. payroll rules. If you contact us from another country, your email may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States.

11. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version here and update the date at the top. Important changes will be highlighted on this page.
