Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how CarBudgetCheck ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you visit www.carbudgetcheck.com (the "Site").
Information We Do Not Collect
Our affordability calculator runs entirely in your browser (client-side). We do not collect, transmit, or store any of the financial information you enter — including income, car price, down payment, or loan details. That data never leaves your device.
Information We May Collect Automatically
Like most websites, we may collect certain technical information automatically when you visit the Site, including:
- Log data: IP address, browser type and version, pages visited, time and date of visit, referring URL
- Device data: Device type, operating system
- Analytics data: Page views, session duration, navigation paths
This data is collected in aggregate and is used to understand how the Site is being used so we can improve it. It is not linked to personally identifiable information.
Analytics
We may use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or a privacy-first alternative) to understand site traffic. These tools may set cookies on your browser. If you have browser-level cookie blocking or an ad blocker, these tools may not function — and that's fine with us.
Affiliate Links and Third-Party Sites
Some links on this Site are affiliate links that direct you to third-party lenders and financial services. When you click these links and visit those third-party sites, you are subject to their privacy policies, not ours. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party site.
Third-party sites may use their own cookies or tracking technologies when you apply for loan products through affiliate links.
Cookies
We may use cookies for analytics and site functionality. You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to use our calculator.
Children's Privacy
This Site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Links to Other Sites
Our Site contains links to external websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to carbudgetcheck.com. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of external sites.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will indicate the date of the most recent update at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
