UtilityEmpire.com ("we," "our," "the site," or "Utility Empire") is a free web-based tool platform providing calculators and analytical tools for personal finance, career awareness, health, and productivity. Our website is accessible at https://utilityempire.com.
For privacy-related questions, contact us at: privacy@utilityempire.com
When you use any calculator on this site — entering subscription costs, job titles, hours worked, commute distances, or any other personal information — that data is processed entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. It is never sent to our servers, never stored in a database, and never associated with your identity in any way. Closing or refreshing the page permanently removes any data you entered.
Like all websites, our hosting provider may automatically log basic technical information when your browser loads a page, including your IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamp. This information is used for security and performance monitoring only and is not used to identify individuals.
The Subscription Cost Projector makes an anonymous HTTP request to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) public API to retrieve current Consumer Price Index data. This request is made from your browser directly to the BLS API and includes no personal information about you.
Utility Empire does not set any first-party cookies for functionality, tracking, or analytics purposes. You can use all tools on this site without accepting any cookies from us.
Third-party cookies: Google AdSense, our advertising partner, may set third-party cookies in your browser to serve contextually relevant advertisements. These cookies are managed by Google, not by us. See Section 5 below for full details and opt-out options.

Since Utility Empire does not collect or process personal data, the legal basis provisions of the GDPR do not apply to our direct data activities. For Google AdSense-related data processing, Google acts as an independent data controller subject to its own GDPR compliance. You may exercise your rights regarding that data directly with Google or via the opt-out mechanisms listed in Section 5.
We do not sell personal information. We do not collect personal information from California residents beyond what is described in this policy. California residents have no additional obligations to us under CCPA.
You have the right to: know what data we hold about you (none), request deletion of your data (there is none to delete), and lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your rights have been violated.
Utility Empire is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. Our tools are designed for adult use in the context of financial, career, and lifestyle planning.
Because we do not transmit or store personal data, there is no database of user information that could be compromised. All tool computations occur exclusively within your browser's JavaScript environment. We use HTTPS encryption for all page delivery to protect data in transit.
Our pages may link to external websites (e.g., BLS, O*NET, Google AdSense policies). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites. We recommend reading the privacy policy of any site you visit.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
