Thinker Toolbox is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.
The short version: Your calculator inputs stay in your browser and are never sent to any server. We use Google AdSense for advertising, which may set cookies for personalised ads. You can accept or reject personalised advertising using the cookie banner on any page.
All calculations run entirely in your browser. The numbers you type into mortgage, salary, pension, loan, savings, and other calculators never leave your device. We do not collect, store, or transmit your financial data, personal details, or any other information you enter into our tools.
Some calculators can generate PDF reports. These are created entirely within your browser using JavaScript. The report data is not sent to any server โ the PDF file is generated locally and downloaded directly to your device.
The word puzzle solvers (Crossword, Anagram, Wordle, Scrabble) use a built-in dictionary of over 168,000 words. All searches run locally in your browser. We do not track which words you search for.
We use a small number of essential cookies:

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Analytics data is anonymised where possible. Analytics cookies are only set if you accept personalised advertising via the cookie banner. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
