Information We Collect
PaycheckWiz is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal financial data. All paycheck calculations are performed entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Your salary, tax, and deduction figures never leave your device.

- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referring URL
- Pages visited and time spent
- Date and time of access
This information is used solely for website analytics, performance monitoring, and security purposes. It cannot be used to personally identify you.
