What we process

The calculator works in your browser without an email. If you request the optional email copy, we process your email address, language, marketing-consent choice and the result data needed to send the plan, including the business type, region, budget assumptions, runway, cuts, red flags, next step and checklist. With that request we also process delivery metadata: the page address, the landing page, the referring site and campaign tags (UTM), so we can see which channels bring users. To protect the service against abuse we briefly process your IP address; the raw rate-limit entry is deleted within 24 hours and lead records keep the IP only in a shortened, hashed form.

What not to submit

Use rounded planning amounts. Do not enter bank logins, account numbers, documents, private identifiers, private customer data, health data or confidential legal information.

Why we process it

Planning inputs are used in the browser to calculate your first-sale budget plan. Detailed planning inputs and result data are sent to us only when you request the optional email copy, so we can render and deliver that plan, secure and support the service, and record delivery. The delivery record is kept for up to 90 days, and your contact and attribution details are also stored in our lead log and CRM so we can respond to you and measure which channels work. Occasional marketing tips are sent only if you give separate consent.

Recipients, retention and transfers

Data required to operate the service may be disclosed to categories of providers responsible for hosting, result generation where applicable, delivery, customer support, security and consent-based analytics. Providers may process data only for documented purposes and under applicable contractual safeguards.

Data is kept only for the period necessary for delivery, security, support, legal duties or the exercise of claims, and is then deleted or anonymized.

Where data is transferred outside the EEA, we use an applicable transfer mechanism and supplementary safeguards where required.

Right to complain

Where the GDPR applies, you may lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority, in particular in the country of your habitual residence, place of work or the alleged infringement.
