The Open Financial Tools on this website are designed to help users perform accounting, financial, and related calculations.
The effectiveness of these tools depends on accurate data entered by users. Because such data may be valuable or sensitive to users, this section explains how information entered into these tools is handled.
The tools are developed using open-source JavaScript that runs directly inside the user’s browser.
This means that, in normal use, calculations are performed locally on the user’s own device. Data entry and calculation can continue inside the browser, even if the internet connection is interrupted.
Accordingly, data entered into the tools is not transmitted to the server or to any third party unless the user explicitly requests an action that requires transmission, such as saving information for printing.
When a user chooses to save information for printing, the entered data and final design may be sent to the server to generate a printable PDF file.
In this case only, specific data may be stored in the website database, including file code, entered data, design templates, creation time, and last update time.
This allows the user to return later and continue working when needed.
Saved tool data is retained for 60 days from the last update.
After 60 days, the saved data is automatically deleted from the database, including the related codes and links.
During the retention period, the website owner does not access, review, or use this data for any purpose, including statistical purposes.
The user’s IP address is not recorded or linked to the saved Open Financial Tools data.
Each saved operation is assigned a unique primary ID. This ID is cumulative and reflects the historical number of save operations performed through the system.
Any number shown in statistics represents historical operations. It does not necessarily mean that all related data is still stored, because saved data is deleted after the retention period described above.
The website and its Open Financial Tools were fully developed by Abdullah Al-Salloum.
The website is hosted on a private server owned by him, without external access or involvement from third-party programmers or service providers in the development and operation of these tools.
The Open Financial Tools were created as part of a social responsibility commitment to support entrepreneurs, business owners, consumers, and interested users.
They are provided free of charge and are not operated for profit.
Information collected through the website may be used for providing website functionality, allowing Google Sign-In access, improving website content and user experience, understanding general website performance, maintaining security and proper operation, detecting abusive or automated traffic, investigating technical issues, preparing aggregated website traffic statistics, and generating printable PDF files when requested by the user.
The website does not sell users’ personal information.
The website does not sell or rent personal information.
Information may be processed through third-party services only where relevant to website functionality, analytics, login, embedded media, or external marketplace access.
Examples include Google services for sign-in, analytics, and search performance; YouTube for embedded video content; SoundCloud for embedded audio content; and external bookstores and marketplaces when users click purchase links.
Each third-party service applies its own privacy policy and terms.
Google Sign-In information may be retained as long as the user account or related login functionality remains active.
Open Financial Tools saved data is retained for 60 days from the last update, then automatically deleted.
Cookie preferences may be stored so the website can remember the user’s consent choice.
Technical session data associated with the essential session cookie named session may also be used temporarily to the extent necessary for session handling, website security, and request verification.
This website is intended for the general public.
The website is not specifically directed to children, and it does not knowingly operate services intended to collect information from children.
Users may use the website without logging in where login is not required, choose Essentials Only for cookies, reset cookie preferences through Privacy Settings, avoid using third-party embedded content or marketplace links, and avoid saving Open Financial Tools data if they do not want data sent to the server.
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect information handled by the website.
However, no website, server, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
