# Privacy Policy > The AI Video Cost Calculator runs in your browser and needs no account. See what data we collect, how long we keep it, cookies, and how to delete it. Canonical: https://aivideocostcalc.com/privacy/ Legal ยท Effective November 15, 2026 # Privacy Policy The AI Video Cost Calculator needs no account and does its math in your browser, so the numbers you type are never sent to us. We only get the basic request data any website gets, plus anything you choose to email us. You can ask us to delete it at any time. - AccountNone needed - Calculator inputsStay in your browser - Selling dataWe don't sell it - Delete requestcontact@aivideocostcalc.com [What we collect](#collect)[Calculator](#calculator)[Cookies and ads](#cookies)[How long](#keep)[Delete](#delete)[Your rights](#rights)[FAQ](#faq) 01 ## What data the AI Video Cost Calculator collects **We collect very little: standard request data when you load a page, and your email if you write to us.**We have no sign-up, no login, no payment form and no upload box, so most of the personal data a normal web app holds never reaches us. **Personal data**means any information that can identify you, directly or when combined with other data. An IP address counts. A number you type into the calculator, like 8 seconds or 1080p, does not. Data this site handles, why, and for how long| Data | When it is created | Why | How long we keep it | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Request data: IP address, browser type, page requested, time | Each time you load a page | To deliver the page, keep the site up and block abuse | Only as long as our hosting provider keeps its standard logs | | Calculator inputs: model, seconds, resolution, clip count, discard rate | While you use the calculator | To show your result | Not sent to us. Gone when you close or clear the page | | Your email address and message | Only if you write to us | To answer you and fix rates you report | Until your question is closed | | Ad cookies set by Google | Only when ads are turned on | To show and measure ads that keep the site free | Set and controlled by Google | 02 ## Your calculator inputs stay on your device **The cost math runs in your browser, so we never see what you are budgeting for.**When you pick a model and enter clip length, resolution, clip count and discard rate, the page works out the total, the cost per finished second and the cost per finished minute on your device. The calculator script makes no network requests and does not post your figures anywhere. The model rates the calculator uses ship with the page itself. Loading a different model does not tell us which one you picked. You can see how the numbers are built on [How It Works](/how-it-works/) and the rate list on the [pricing page](/pricing/). Your browser may remember small preferences, such as light or dark mode, in its own storage. That data stays on your device. Clearing this site's data in your browser removes it. 03 ## Cookies, ads and third parties **The calculator itself needs no cookies. We plan to keep the site free with ads from Google AdSense, and once ads are on, Google may set cookies.**A **cookie**is a small text file a website stores in your browser so it can recognize the same browser later. When ads are on, here is what that means: - Google and its partners may use cookies to show you ads based on your past visits to this and other websites. - Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. - You can turn off personalized ads in Google's Ad Settings. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The calculator works the same either way. Ads never decide which models we list, what order they appear in or what rates we show. The rest of our setup: - **Hosting provider:**serves the pages and keeps the standard request logs described above. - **Cloudflare email forwarding:**passes mail sent to contact@aivideocostcalc.com on to our inbox. We don't sell your personal information, and we don't share it with data brokers. 04 ## How long we keep data **We keep data only as long as it is useful for the reason we got it, then delete it.** 1. **Calculator inputs:**never stored by us. 2. **Request logs:**kept by our hosting provider under its normal log policy. We don't copy them into another database. 3. **Emails:**kept until your question is answered or your rate correction is made, then deleted, unless the law requires us to keep a record. 4. **Ad cookies:**stay in your browser until they expire or you delete them. 05 ## How to delete your data **Email contact@aivideocostcalc.com with the subject Delete my data, and we delete what we hold.**Most visitors have nothing to delete, because we never had an account or inputs for them. 1. Send the email from the address you used to contact us, so we can find your messages. 2. If you think we hold anything else, tell us roughly when you visited or wrote. 3. We delete what we can match to you and reply to confirm. To remove data stored in your own browser, clear this site's cookies and site data in your browser settings. Doing that resets any saved preferences. 06 ## Your privacy rights **You can ask what we hold about you, ask us to fix it, or ask us to delete it, whatever state or country you live in.**Depending on where you live, laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act or the GDPR may give you these rights formally. We honor the same requests for everyone. - **Access:**ask for a copy of what we hold about you. - **Correction:**ask us to fix something that is wrong. - **Deletion:**ask us to erase it. - **Opt out of personalized ads:**use Google's Ad Settings or block cookies in your browser. **Children:**this site is not aimed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them. If you think a child sent us personal data, email us and we will delete it. **Changes:**if this policy changes, we update the effective date at the top of this page. Questions go through the [contact page](/contact/). Use of the site is also covered by our [Terms of Service](/terms/). 07 ## Privacy FAQ **Short answers to the questions people ask most about the calculator and their data.** ** ### Do you see the numbers I type into the calculator? ** No. The calculator runs in your browser and does not send your model, clip length, resolution, clip count or discard rate to us. ** ### Do I need an account to use the AI video cost calculator? ** No. There is no sign-up and no login. You open the page and use it. ** ### Do you sell my data? ** No. We don't sell personal information. If ads are on, Google sets its own cookies, and you can turn off personalized ads in Google's Ad Settings. ** ### Does the site use cookies? ** The calculator needs none. Once Google AdSense ads are on, Google may set advertising cookies. Blocking them does not break the calculator. ** ### How do I get my data deleted? ** Email contact@aivideocostcalc.com with the subject Delete my data. We delete what we hold and reply to confirm.
