Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 14, 2026
Plain-language summary: PreScend does not require an account or collect your name, email, or raw IP address. Your financial inputs are saved anonymously using a one-way hash. We may sell aggregated, de-identified statistics (never individual records). You can opt out at any time using the link at the bottom of this page.

1. Who We Are

PreScend ("we," "our," or "us") operates the PreScend Retirement Tracker web application. For privacy inquiries, contact us at privacy@prescend.com.

2. Information We Collect

We are designed to minimize data collection. Specifically:

3. Cookies and Advertising

PreScend displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve ads, which may include personalized ads based on your browsing history across other websites. We do not control Google's data collection or use practices.

PreScend itself does not set any tracking or analytics cookies beyond what Google AdSense places. We use localStorage (browser storage) solely to cache your retirement data locally for faster page loads. This data never leaves your browser except via the explicit save API calls described above.

4. How We Use Your Information

5. Data Sharing and Sale

We do not sell or share your individual data.

We may sell or license aggregated, anonymized cohort statistics to third parties (such as financial research firms or data marketplaces). These statistics are derived from data contributed by users who have not opted out, and they do not contain any information that could identify a specific person.

If you opt out of data sale (see Section 8), your data will be excluded from all aggregated datasets prospectively.

We do not share any data with third parties for advertising targeting purposes, beyond what Google AdSense collects independently through its own cookies.

7. Your Privacy Rights

California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

To submit a CCPA request, email privacy@prescend.com or use the opt-out mechanism below.

EU / UK Residents (GDPR / UK GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, and data portability. Because PreScend does not collect personally identifiable information directly, many of these rights may not apply in practice. For questions or requests, email privacy@prescend.com.

8. How to Opt Out of Data Sale

To opt out of the sale of anonymized data derived from your session, use either of the following:

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Because PreScend is an anonymous service (no login), your opt-out is tied to your current browser and device via a server-side flag on your session. If you use PreScend from a different browser or device, you will need to opt out on that device as well. Clearing your browser data does not undo a server-side opt-out for an existing session — your session key will be regenerated, but the old session remains opted out.

Opting out does not affect your ability to use any feature of PreScend.

9. Children's Privacy

PreScend is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted information through PreScend, please contact us at privacy@prescend.com.

10. Security

We use industry-standard practices to protect the data we store, including one-way hashing of session identifiers and HTTPS for data in transit. No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of PreScend after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
