Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

1. Who We Are

Finance Atlas ("we", "this site") provides free educational financial calculators for South African users. This policy explains what information is processed when you use the site, in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and Google's publisher policies.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

The calculators on this site run entirely in your browser. The figures you enter — vehicle prices, budgets, deposits, interest rates — are never transmitted to our servers, stored, or shared. We do not require accounts, do not collect names, email addresses, ID numbers or financial records, and do not operate any database of user information.

3. Advertising and Cookies (Google AdSense)

This site is funded by advertising served through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites across the internet.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Third-party vendors and ad networks may also serve ads on this site. A current list of vendors serving through Google's network is available in Google's publisher documentation.

4. Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting, aggregated analytics (such as Cloudflare Web Analytics) to understand overall traffic patterns — total visits, popular pages, and country-level location. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.

5. Managing Cookies

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking advertising cookies does not affect the functioning of the calculators on this site.

6. Children

This site provides financial information intended for adults and is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly process personal information of children.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the site or applicable regulations change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the current version.
