Kesef is a free website of money tools and guides. We collect as little as we can, we never sell your information, and the numbers you type into our tools stay on your device.
The short version
- The tools run in your browser. What you type into them is not sent to us.
- If you write to us or subscribe, we get the details you send, and we use them only for that.
- We measure visits with Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity so we can see which pages help and which don't.
- We do not sell, rent or trade personal information.
Information you give us
The contact form
When you send a message through our contact form (Contact, Submit a guide, Partnerships or Advertise), we receive your name, email address, organization if you give one, your message and the page you sent it from. It reaches us as an email. We use it to read and answer your message and keep it only as long as that conversation needs. To stop spam, our server keeps a scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address for up to a day; it is never stored in readable form.
The newsletter and tool downloads
If you subscribe, or enter your email to download a result from a tool, your email address is recorded in a Google Form owned by Kesef. We use it to send the updates or download you asked for. Every email can be unsubscribed from.
Information collected automatically
When you visit kesefsmart.com, our analytics services collect standard visit information: pages viewed and for how long, the site that sent you, your browser and device type, an approximate location based on your IP address, and how you scroll and click on a page. This information is not used to identify you personally.
The tools
Every calculator on Kesef works inside your browser. The amounts you enter are not sent to our server. Some tools remember your last inputs on your own device (in your browser's local storage) so you don't have to retype them; you can clear this at any time by clearing your browser's site data.
