Privacy Policy

Decoder inputs never leave your browser

The Final-Paycheck Decoder is the load-bearing tool on this Site, and it is built to respect your privacy. Every input you provide — your state of separation, your termination type, your separation date, your hourly rate, and your good-faith-dispute answer — is processed entirely client-side in your browser. Nothing is POSTed to our servers. Nothing is logged. Nothing is shared with third parties.

This is a deliberate design choice: state of separation, hourly rate, and willful-failure context can all be sensitive in a wage dispute. We do not want a record of those inputs to exist anywhere we cannot guarantee security.

What we do collect

We use Google Analytics 4 to measure aggregate site usage (page views, broad geographic distribution at country level, broad device categories, broad referrer category). This tells us which pages are reaching workers and which states are most-searched, so we can prioritize verification work.

There is no cookie banner and no consent pop-up. Before Google Analytics loads, each page sets Google Consent Mode defaults by region. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, analytics and advertising storage are denied by default, so Google Analytics runs without analytics cookies and may send limited cookieless measurements. In all other regions, including the United States, analytics and advertising storage are granted by default.

Cookies

• Analytics: outside the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google Analytics 4 may set its cookies (_ga, _ga_*); inside those regions it runs without them by default.
• Advertising: none. The site shows no ads and loads no advertising scripts in any region.
• Site storage: the site's own code sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser.

Outbound links

Outbound links (the DOL Wage & Hour Division, state labor agency claim portals and statute sources) lead to sites that collect their own analytics under their own privacy policies. We do not control how third-party sites handle your data once you click through.

Operator

The Site is operated by Desymphony EOOD, a Bulgarian limited liability company. As an EU (Bulgaria) operator providing services to US users, we follow the GDPR baseline by default, plus US state privacy laws (CCPA/CPRA, Virginia VCDPA, Colorado CPA, Connecticut CTDPA, Utah UCPA) as applicable.

Your rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port the personal data we hold about you, and to opt out of sale/sharing for targeted advertising. Because we do not collect personal information beyond aggregate analytics, most rights requests resolve to confirmation that we hold no record of you. Email info@desymphony.com to make a request.

Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, email us and we will delete it.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
