Effective Date: January 1, 2026 | Last Reviewed: March 2026
Introduction
Creator Revenue Calculator ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website creatorrevenuecalculator.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website. We are committed to respecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
Our site provides free revenue estimation calculators for content creators. We do not require user accounts, logins, or any personal registration to use our tools. Our data collection is minimal and limited to what is described below.
Information We Collect
We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or payment details through our calculators. The data you enter into our tools (e.g., subscriber counts, view numbers) is processed entirely in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers.
We do collect limited, anonymous information through third-party services:
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. This includes anonymized data such as pages visited, time spent on pages, approximate geographic region, device type, browser type, and referring website. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual users.
- Google AdSense: We display advertisements through Google AdSense, which may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your browsing activity. Google may collect information about your visits to this and other websites to provide relevant advertisements.
- Amazon Associates: Our site contains affiliate links to Amazon.com (affiliate tag: ytearnings-20). When you click these links, Amazon may collect information about your visit. We receive only aggregated, anonymous reports about purchases made through our links.
- Server Logs: Our hosting provider may automatically collect standard server log information, including IP addresses, browser type, referring pages, and timestamps. This data is used solely for security monitoring and site performance.
How We Use Information
The limited information we collect is used exclusively to:
- Understand website traffic patterns and improve our tools
- Monitor site performance and detect security issues
- Display relevant advertisements to support the free operation of our site
- Analyze aggregate usage trends to guide new feature development
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us analyze web traffic and improve your experience. For detailed information about the cookies we use and how to manage them, please see our Cookie Policy.
We work with third-party advertising partners, including Google, who may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. These cookies allow our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page. Opting out does not mean you will no longer see ads — you will continue to see generic, non-personalized ads.
You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies or to alert you when a cookie is being set. However, some features of our site may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services that may collect data as described in their respective privacy policies:
- Google Analytics: Google Privacy Policy
- Google AdSense: Google Ads Policy
- Amazon Associates: We participate in the Amazon Associates Program (affiliate tag: ytearnings-20), an affiliate advertising program that provides a means to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. Amazon may collect data when you click affiliate links. Amazon Privacy Notice
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to outside parties beyond these analytics and advertising partners.
Data Retention
We do not store personal data on our servers. All calculator inputs are processed client-side and are never transmitted to or stored on our servers. Analytics data collected by Google Analytics is retained for 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted. Advertising cookies set by Google AdSense expire according to Google's cookie policies (typically 13 months). Server logs are retained for no more than 90 days. Amazon Associates does not store data on our servers; any data collected when you click affiliate links is governed by Amazon's privacy policy.

Since we do not collect personal data through accounts or forms, these rights primarily apply to data collected through analytics cookies. You can exercise control over analytics tracking by adjusting your cookie preferences or using browser opt-out tools.
