Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 25, 2026
AlgorithmicFIRE ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website AlgorithmicFIRE.com. This Privacy Policy details our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our platform, including our financial calculators, market dashboards, and research blog.
1. Calculator Inputs & Financial Data
Our platform features several interactive financial calculators (e.g., Safe Withdrawal Rate, Monte Carlo Portfolio Simulators, and Roth Conversion Optimizers). We do not save, collect, or store any of the numbers or financial details you input into these tools.
All calculations are processed statefully in transient server-side memory or run locally in your browser. Resulting charts and tables are generated as temporary, stateless HTML/JSON representations and are deleted after your session ends. Your financial planning scenarios remain entirely private to you.
2. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information to help us run and optimize our website:
- Analytical Data (Cookies): We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymous, aggregated traffic data (e.g., page views, session durations, and user interactions). This helps us understand which research articles and tools are most valuable to our readers. Google Analytics uses cookies to identify browser sessions, but does not capture personal identity or calculator input metrics.
- Server Logs: Like most websites, our host server automatically collects log files (IP addresses, browser type, referring pages) for security monitoring and troubleshooting.
3. Data Security
We prioritize the security of your data. All communication between your browser and our servers is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL/TLS) technology. While you use our calculators, your data inputs are protected from intercept during transmission.
4. Third-Party Links & Data Sources
Our research and dashboards link to reputable third-party websites and financial databases (such as Yahoo Finance, Wikipedia, and the St. Louis Fed's FRED database). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of those external websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party pages you visit.
