ⓘ Independent guide — not a government agency. We never charge fees.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 29, 2026

The short version

We collect as little as possible. The eligibility checker and calculators run entirely in your browser — the income, household size, and program details you type are never sent to our servers or stored anywhere. We have no user accounts and no application forms.

What we do collect

Standard server logs (IP address, pages requested) processed by our hosting provider (Cloudflare) for security and performance. If we enable analytics, it will be privacy-respecting aggregate measurement, and this policy will be updated to name the tool before it goes live. If you email us, we keep the correspondence to respond to it.

What we never collect

Social Security numbers, benefit account details, application documents, or payment information — we never ask for any of these, on the site or by email. Anyone requesting them in our name is a scammer.

Cookies and third parties

The site currently sets no tracking cookies of its own. Outbound links to carriers and official agencies are governed by those sites' own policies. If we later add advertising or affiliate links, this section will be updated first with the specific partners and any cookies involved.
