Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 31, 2026

NextPayday ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website located at next-payday.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding that information. By using the Site you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

Information We Collect

1. Information You Provide

NextPayday is a static calculator tool. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information through the Site itself. If you contact us via email, we will receive the information you include in that message.

2. Locally Stored Preferences

When you configure your pay schedule (pay frequency, pay day, country, and last payday date), these preferences are saved to your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers or any third party. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain or by using your browser's developer tools.

3. Analytics Data (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the Site. GA4 may collect the following types of information:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referring website or search engine
  • Browser type, operating system, and screen resolution
  • General geographic location (city or region level, derived from IP address)
  • Device category (desktop, tablet, or mobile)

Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique users and sessions. IP addresses are anonymized by default in GA4. We do not use GA4 to collect or process any personally identifiable information. The data collected is used solely to analyze Site traffic and improve the user experience.
