Client-Side Calculation Privacy & In-Memory Execution

CalcTrading is designed to respect trader confidentiality. Unlike services that require you to transmit private trade amounts or account balances to a remote server, our tools perform calculations client-side in your web browser:

code

Local Mathematical Runtime

All sizing calculators, Kelly Criterion formulas, options Greeks, and regulatory fee modules execute directly in your browser's local JavaScript engine as you interact with inputs.

security

Zero Trade Data Storage

When you calculate trade risk, breakeven thresholds, or margin requirements, your financial numbers are not sent to or stored on our servers.

02

Browser LocalStorage & Saved Preferences

To enhance usability, our calculators allow you to save draft trade plans, retain recent entries, and remember interface preferences (such as default currency: USD vs. INR) across browser sessions.

dns Scope of Browser `window.localStorage`

  • Preferences are written solely to sandboxed browser storage keys on your local device.
  • No cloud account synchronization or remote profile backups are created from this data.
  • You can permanently remove these stored preferences at any time by clearing your browser cache and cookies.
03

Google Analytics & Usage Telemetry

We integrate Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors engage with CalcTrading and identify which calculation tools are most useful:

Metrics Tracked Pageviews, bounce rate & duration
IP Treatment Anonymized IP addresses
Primary Purpose Speed & feature optimization

Google Analytics collects high-level device telemetry (operating system, browser type, approximate country/city, and referral source). Google Analytics is strictly prohibited from accessing your numerical trade parameters, equity sizes, or formulas. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

04

Google Ads & Third-Party Advertising Cookies

To maintain CalcTrading as a 100% free resource without subscription paywalls, we display advertisements provided by Google Ads, Google AdSense, and authorized advertising exchange partners:

cookie Advertising Cookies & Identifiers

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to CalcTrading or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on browsing interactions.
  • No private calculation numbers or trade secrets are shared with advertising vendors.

tune Managing Ad Preferences

  • You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com).
  • Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

05

CalcTrading Chrome Extension Architecture & Data Rights

We offer an official CalcTrading Chrome Extension providing quick popup calculations and shortcut calculators directly inside your browser:

Extension Permission Principles

The CalcTrading Chrome Extension operates strictly on an in-memory client utility basis. It requests only the minimal browser permissions necessary to render calculation popups. The extension does not record keystrokes, track unrelated web browsing activity, capture credentials, or transmit data to remote endpoints. All cached inputs remain securely stored in your local Chrome extension storage.

06

Outbound Broker Links & Referral Transparency

Our calculation pages feature comparison tables and direct referral links to regulated financial brokers (such as Zerodha, Dhan, Interactive Brokers, Charles Schwab, Binance, and Bybit):

Zero Parameter Injection

When you click an outbound link to a partner broker, CalcTrading does NOT pass along your calculated trade amounts, capital balance, stop-loss levels, or risk tolerance in the URL. Outbound links contain strictly partner referral codes for attribution. Once you leave CalcTrading for a broker's website, your session is governed exclusively by that broker's independent privacy and terms policies.

07

Global Statutory Rights: GDPR, CCPA/CPRA & India DPDP Act 2023

Depending on your region, you maintain specific rights regarding data privacy and transparency under international frameworks:

Right to Erasure & Portability: Because we do not store registered account profiles or trade databases, your personal calculation data can be instantly erased by clearing your browser's local cache.
Right to Non-Discrimination: We never sell your personal financial information. All traders enjoy full access to our complete calculation suites without restriction.
Algorithmic Transparency: All mathematical formulas utilized across our calculators (such as Black-Scholes Greeks, Kelly Criterion distributions, and regulatory STT/GST schedules) are documented openly on our site.
08
