Privacy
The short version: your financial information stays on your device. RealityCheck has no account system, no database of user finances, and no server that sees what you type.
What happens to what you enter
Every calculation runs in JavaScript in your own browser. Your income, expenses, savings, existing EMIs and the details of whatever you are considering are used to compute a result on your device and are not transmitted anywhere.
There is no API call behind the results page. If you disconnect from the internet after the page loads, the calculators keep working.
What is stored
Your current scenario is saved in your browser's local storage under keys beginning with realitycheck: so that refreshing the page does not lose your progress. This never leaves your device and you can erase it at any time.
Share links
When you copy a share link, your scenario is encoded into the address itself. That means anyone with the link can see the numbers in it. Nothing is uploaded to create the link, but treat it as you would a screenshot of your finances: share it deliberately.
Artificial intelligence
No financial input is ever sent to an AI service. All numbers come from deterministic formulas. If an explanation layer is added in future it will operate on results, will be clearly labelled, and will never be the source of a figure.
Analytics
RealityCheck uses Vercel Web Analytics to count page views and record which calculators people use. It is cookieless, it does not build a profile of you, and it does not follow you to other sites. Nothing you type is ever included in an event. An event carries the name of an action, such as calculator_completed, which calculator it belongs to, and for a completed result the affordability score out of 100 — never your income, savings, expenses or the price of anything.
Because a share link carries your scenario in the web address, the address of every page view is truncated at the ? before it is sent. Opening someone's shared result does not report the numbers in that link to anyone.
Cookies
RealityCheck sets no cookies, and nothing here tracks you across other websites. Fonts are self-hosted, so no request is made to a font provider. The only external request a page makes is the analytics script described above, served from this site's own domain.
