Privacy Policy
Effective: May 2026 · DPS Digital LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”)
Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how DPS Digital LLC collects, uses, and protects information when you use MilPayTools.com. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices. In short: we collect very little information, we don’t sell it, and your calculator inputs never leave your browser.
Information We Collect
Analytics data
We use Google Analytics (GA4) and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site. This includes anonymized data such as pages visited, time on site, device type, browser, and general location (city or region level). This data is aggregated and used only to improve the site. We do not collect names, addresses, or financial information through analytics tools.
Email addresses
If you voluntarily subscribe to our email list using a signup form on the site, we collect your email address for the sole purpose of sending periodic updates about military pay rate changes, new calculators, and related content. Email subscriptions are managed by Beehiiv. We do not sell, rent, or share email addresses with third parties for marketing purposes.
Feedback submissions
If you submit feedback through our feedback form, we collect the message content and, optionally, your email address if you choose to provide it. Feedback is used solely to improve the site and respond to your submission.
