No Data Harvesting Policy
The core philosophy at Byscale is that your financial numbers belong to you.
Calculation Data
Inputs such as salary, loan amounts, or SIP goals are processed on our server using PHP scripts solely to generate results.
Non-Storage
We do not store this data in any permanent database. Once your session ends or the calculation is finished, the data is cleared from the server's active memory.
Information We Collect
While we do not store financial inputs, we do collect certain information to improve service:
Log Files: Like most websites, Byscale follows a standard procedure of using 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 possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.
Cookies and Web Beacons
To improve usability (especially for tools like the Budget Planner):
- Browser Sessions: Temporary session cookies or local storage may be used so you don't lose data on page refresh.
- Third-Party Cookies: Some of our advertising partners (like Google) may use cookies and web beacons on our site.
- Your Control: You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options.
