After My Fees (aftermyfees.com) takes your privacy seriously. This page explains what data we collect when you use the site, how it's used, and the choices you have. Plain language version: we don't require accounts, we don't sell data, we run basic analytics, and you can opt out of most of it.
Who we are
After My Fees is an independent educational site about Etsy seller economics. The site features a free fee calculator and articles about Etsy's fee structure, pricing strategy, and related topics. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Etsy, Inc.
Information you provide
The site does not require an account, registration, or any personal information to use the calculator or read articles. We do not collect names, email addresses, or other contact details unless you choose to send us a message through our contact email.
The calculator runs entirely in your browser. Numbers you enter into the calculator are not transmitted to us or any server. They never leave your device.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the site, our hosting provider and analytics tools automatically collect certain technical information:
- IP address (anonymized for analytics purposes)
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Device type (mobile, tablet, desktop)
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring website (the URL that linked you to us)
- Date and time of visit
This is standard web analytics data used to understand how the site is used and to improve content. It does not include personally identifying information.
How we use this information
- To analyze traffic patterns and improve our content
- To understand which articles and tools are most useful
- To diagnose technical issues
- To detect and prevent abuse or fraud
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers or other third parties for marketing purposes.
Cookies and tracking
The site uses three types of cookies:
Essential cookies. Required for the site to function correctly. Cannot be disabled.
Analytics cookies. Help us understand how visitors use the site through aggregated, anonymized data. Provided by Google Analytics or a similar service. You can opt out via browser settings or by installing a privacy extension.
Affiliate tracking cookies. When you click an affiliate link on our site (see our Affiliate Disclosure), the affiliated company may set a tracking cookie to attribute a sale to us if you make a purchase. These cookies do not contain personally identifying information and are set by the third party, not by us.
Third-party services
We use the following third-party services that may collect data about your visit:
- Google Analytics for traffic analysis
- Our hosting provider (Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, or similar) for delivering the site
- Affiliate partners (when you click affiliate links, listed on our Disclosure page)
Each of these services operates under its own privacy policy. We have no control over how they handle data once it reaches them.
Your rights
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, California, or another jurisdiction with comparable privacy laws, you have specific rights regarding your personal data:
- Right to access any information we hold about you
- Right to request deletion of information we hold
- Right to opt out of analytics tracking via browser settings
- Right to data portability for any information we hold about you
- Right to lodge a complaint with your relevant data protection authority
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address below. Because we collect very little personally identifying information in the first place, most requests will result in confirmation that we have no data to provide or delete.
Children's privacy
The site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, please contact us and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time as the site evolves, as we add new services, or as legal requirements change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
