Privacy Policy
At Clear Tip Calculator (accessible from cleartipcalculator.com), your privacy is one of our highest core priorities. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that is collected and recorded by Clear Tip Calculator and how we use and safeguard it.
Every bill subtotal, tax amount, tip percentage, and group split calculation performed on Clear Tip Calculator is executed entirely on your client device inside your web browser. We never store, save, log, or sell any of your bill amounts, diner counts, payment notes, or restaurant details. Your dining calculations remain completely private to you and the people you choose to share them with.
1. Information We Collect
Like most modern web application platforms, Clear Tip Calculator may collect limited diagnostic and telemetry information when you visit our website:
- Log Files: We follow a standard procedure of utilizing log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information collected includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and optionally the number of clicks. These are not linked to any personally identifiable financial information.
- URL Query Parameters: When you share or bookmark a table calculation link (e.g.,
?b=100&t=10&s=4), those numerical values exist solely within your browser address bar to rebuild the calculation state for you or your table companions upon load. They are never ingested into a personal profiling database. - Local Storage: We use browser localStorage solely to preserve your preferred user interface settings (such as light or dark display theme) across browsing sessions.
3. Third-Party Privacy Policies
Clear Tip Calculator's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Thus, we are advising you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt out of certain options.
You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. Detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective websites (e.g., Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge). You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

6. Children's Information (COPPA Compliance)
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.
Clear Tip Calculator does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
7. Security & Encryption Standards
We utilize standard Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS) encryption to ensure all traffic between your browser and our CDN edge servers is completely protected against interception. Because calculations take place in client-side memory, our security posture eliminates server-side database exposure risks for your dining calculations.
