At Child Support Calculator, we respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how information may be collected and used when you visit our website.

Our website provides free child support calculators, state-specific resources, educational information, and general estimates intended to help visitors better understand how child support calculations generally work. Our calculators are informational tools and are not intended to provide legal advice or determine the amount of child support that a court or government agency will order.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use our website, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us.

Information You Provide

If you contact us through our website, you may provide information such as:

  • First and last name
  • Email address
  • Subject of your inquiry
  • The contents of your message
  • Any other information you choose to provide

Our Contact page invites visitors to submit questions, feedback, or suggestions through a contact form.

Calculator Information

When you use a child support calculator, you may enter information relevant to an estimate, such as income, number of children, parenting time, childcare expenses, health insurance costs, existing support obligations, and other allowable deductions. These are among the factors our website identifies as potentially relevant to state-specific calculations.

Please avoid entering unnecessary sensitive personal information into calculator fields or contact forms.

2. How We Use Information

Information collected through the website may be used to:

  • Provide and operate our calculators and website features
  • Respond to questions, messages, and feedback
  • Improve the functionality, usability, and content of our website
  • Understand how visitors use our resources
  • Maintain website security and prevent misuse
  • Provide information or services you have requested
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations

We aim to make child support information accessible, understandable, and useful, including through state-specific resources and educational content.

3. Calculator Estimates and Personal Information

Our calculators are designed to provide general estimates based on information and guidelines relevant to the applicable state.

A calculator result is not a guarantee of the amount that a court or child support agency will ultimately order. Actual child support determinations may depend on circumstances that an online calculator cannot fully evaluate, including income, parenting arrangements, insurance costs, childcare expenses, existing support obligations, and other factors.

You should therefore avoid entering information that is unnecessary for obtaining an estimate.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website usage, or improve website functionality.

The specific cookies and technologies used may change as our website develops.

Where applicable, your browser may allow you to control or disable cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the website.

5. Analytics and Website Usage Information

We may collect certain technical or usage information when visitors access our website. This may include information such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Device type
  • Operating system
  • Pages viewed
  • Referring pages
  • Approximate date and time of visits
  • General website interaction information

This type of information may be used to understand website performance, identify technical problems, improve our content, and maintain website security.

We do not use this information to provide personalized legal advice or make an official child support determination.

6. Third-Party Services

Our website may use third-party services to support website functionality, security, analytics, hosting, or other technical operations.

Where third-party services process information on our behalf, their handling of information may also be governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

We do not claim that third-party services operate under this Privacy Policy when they have their own applicable privacy policies.

7. Information You Send Through Our Contact Form

If you contact us, we may use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry or address your feedback.

Our website specifically states that visitors can contact the team with questions, feedback, or suggestions and provides contact@childpaycalc.com as a contact address.

Please do not send confidential legal documents, financial account information, Social Security numbers, or other highly sensitive information through a general contact form unless specifically requested and appropriate.

8. How We Protect Information

We take reasonable measures designed to protect information submitted through our website against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should consider this when deciding what information to submit through the website.

9. How Long We Keep Information

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining records, improving our services, resolving disputes, and complying with applicable legal requirements.

The actual retention period may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our website provides general child support information and tools for adults researching child support matters.

Our services are not directed toward children, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate steps where necessary.

12. State-Specific and Legal Information

Child Support Calculator provides educational information and estimates. Our website does not provide personalized legal advice, and calculator results should not be treated as an official child support determination.

Our resources are organized around state-specific guidelines because child support rules can differ from state to state.

For questions about your individual circumstances or an active legal proceeding, consider consulting a qualified attorney or the appropriate child support agency in your state.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, practices, services, or applicable legal requirements.
