Brownington Works (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website browningtonworks.com and provides online financial calculators, personalized reports, and related tools. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- Account information. When you create an account, we collect your email address, an optional first name, and a password. Passwords are stored only in securely hashed form; we never see or store your plain-text password.
- Calculator inputs. Figures you enter into our calculators (such as balances, income, and expenses) are used to generate your results and reports. We do not ask for account numbers or government identifiers.
- Purchase information. Payments are processed by Stripe. We receive a record of your purchase and the email associated with it. We do not collect or store your full card number; that is handled directly by Stripe.
- Email and newsletter. If you opt in, we store your email to send financial tips and product updates.
- Usage and device data. We use cookies and analytics to understand how the site is used and to keep features working.
How we use your information
We use your information to provide and improve the calculators and reports, to deliver purchased access across your devices when you are signed in, to process payments, to send transactional and (with consent) marketing email, to provide customer support, and to maintain the security of the site.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us operate the site, including Stripe (payments) and our email and analytics providers, and where required by law.
Cookies and analytics
We use essential cookies to run the site and analytics cookies to measure usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings and through the cookie preferences shown on the site.
Data retention and security
We keep personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service and meet legal obligations. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data.
