Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 18, 2026

EHM Tech LLC ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Pay44 paycheck calculator mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our App.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

You can review the most current version of this Privacy Policy at https://pay44.app/privacy/.

1. Information We Collect

All data we collect is anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally. We collect information about you and your device when you use the App. While this information is legally classified as "personal data" or "personal information" because it can be linked to your device or account, it is entirely anonymous and does not reveal your real-world identity. We collect this information to operate core functionality and analyze how the App is used.

1.0 Anonymous Data Collection

The App collects only anonymous technical data that cannot identify you as an individual. We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or any information that could reveal your real-world identity. All data is tied only to randomly generated device identifiers that do not contain personally identifiable information.

1.1 Device Identifiers and Technical Data

When you launch or interact with the App, we and our service providers automatically collect:

• Mobile device identifiers (including Android ID, iOS Identifier for Vendors),
• Internet Protocol (IP) address and approximate location derived from it (country, region, city level),
• Device characteristics (model, hardware type, operating system version, language, screen resolution, network type), and
• Diagnostic information such as crash logs, error traces, and performance metrics.

1.2 App Usage and Analytics Events

We log events about how you use the App, including screens viewed, buttons tapped, feature configurations, session timestamps, frequency of use, and interactions with in-app messaging. These events are associated with the device identifiers listed above so that we can understand trends over time.

1.3 Purchase and Subscription Data

If you make in-app purchases, our commerce provider RevenueCat collects and processes:

• App Store or Google Play receipts and transaction identifiers,
• Product identifiers, price, currency, and purchase timestamps,
• Platform account identifiers supplied by Apple or Google, and
• Subscription status (active, canceled, trial) and renewal history.

1.4 Data We Do Not Collect

The App is designed to be completely anonymous. We do NOT collect the following information directly from you through the App:

• Names or usernames,
• Email addresses,
• Phone numbers,
• Physical addresses,
• Precise (GPS-level) location data,
• Social security numbers,
• Bank account or payment card numbers,
• Contact lists, or
• Photos or media files stored on your device.

1.5 Locally Stored Data

The App stores your paycheck calculation inputs (income, deductions, tax settings) locally on your device using device storage. This data:

• Never leaves your device through our systems,
• Is not transmitted to our servers,
• Is not accessible to us, and
• Can be cleared by uninstalling the App or resetting the App's storage.

The analytics and purchase SDKs described below are essential to App functionality and are initialized when you launch the App. You can use the platform controls described in Section 8 or contact us so we can relay your preference to our partners.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information described in Section 1 to:

• Improve App functionality and user experience
• Identify and fix bugs and crashes
• Understand which features are most popular
• Generate aggregated usage statistics

3. No Advertising

Pay44 does not display any advertisements. We do not use advertising SDKs, and we do not collect or share data with advertisers.

4. Third-Party Services

We disclose the categories of data described in Section 1 to the service providers listed below so they can perform analytics, crash diagnostics, and purchase management on our behalf. These vendors process personal data as independent controllers or processors under their own privacy policies. They may combine the data we provide with information collected from other apps, websites, or offline sources.

4.1 Google Firebase (Analytics & Crashlytics)

• Purpose: Measure feature usage, diagnose crashes, and analyze performance trends.
• Data shared: Device identifiers (Instance ID), IP address, coarse location derived from IP, device metadata (model, OS, language), in-app events, crash logs, and diagnostic traces.
• Retention & controls: Firebase retains analytics events for up to 14 months and crash logs for as long as needed to investigate issues. You can limit analytics collection by adjusting device-level privacy settings or by contacting us so we can flag your identifiers with Firebase.
• Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

4.2 RevenueCat (Purchase Management)

• Purpose: Validate in-app purchases, manage subscription status, and synchronize entitlements across devices.
• Data shared: App Store or Google Play purchase receipts, transaction identifiers, product identifiers, price and currency, purchase timestamps, platform account identifiers supplied by Apple or Google, IP address, device metadata, and inferred country.
• Retention & controls: RevenueCat retains purchase history for as long as you maintain an active entitlement or as required for accounting and fraud prevention. Contact us to request access or deletion and we will relay the request to RevenueCat where permitted by platform rules.
• Privacy Policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy

4.3 App Tracking Transparency (iOS)

On iOS devices running iOS 14.5 or later, we surface Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt to determine whether we may access the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) for analytics attribution. Firebase initializes when the App opens, but Apple blocks access to the IDFA if you decline the prompt. If you decline, analytics will rely on other identifiers Apple permits (such as the Identifier for Vendors). We do not use the IDFA for advertising purposes.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We share the categories of personal information described in Section 1 with trusted partners so they can provide analytics, diagnostics, cloud hosting, and purchase management on our behalf. All shared data is anonymous and consists only of device identifiers and technical information that cannot identify you personally.

We do not sell your personal information for money. We disclose anonymous device identifiers, IP-derived location, app usage events, and purchase history only to:

• Google Firebase and Crashlytics for analytics, performance monitoring, and crash diagnostics,
• RevenueCat for validating purchases and managing subscription entitlements, and
• Platform providers (such as Apple and Google) when required to complete transactions, comply with platform policies, or investigate fraud or security incidents.

Where possible, we aggregate or de-identify data before sharing insights. We may also disclose personal information when required by law, to enforce our agreements, or to protect our users and the App.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the information we process. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

7. Data Retention

Firebase Analytics retains event data for up to 14 months. Purchase records managed by RevenueCat persist for as long as required to manage your entitlements and comply with accounting and fraud-prevention obligations. Local data on your device persists until you delete the App or clear the App's data.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or opt out of the personal information we and our service providers process about your use of the App. To exercise these rights, contact support@ehm-tech.com.

8.1 Opt-Out and Objection Options

The App does not include in-App privacy switches. You can manage how analytics applies to your device by:

• Contacting us at support@ehm-tech.com to request that we limit analytics for your device identifiers,
• On iOS: Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking and turning off "Allow Apps to Request to Track," and
• On Android: Settings > Google > Ads and selecting "Delete advertising ID" or "Opt out of Ads Personalization."

9. Children's Privacy

The App is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or the age defined by applicable law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child without appropriate consent, we will delete that information.

10. International Data Transfers

The data collected by third-party services may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of personal information to these countries as needed for the services described above.

11. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the CCPA grants you specific rights regarding your personal information, including the right to know, request deletion, request correction, opt out of sales/sharing, and limit use of sensitive personal information. We do not sell or share personal information for monetary consideration or for advertising purposes. To exercise these rights, contact support@ehm-tech.com.

12. European Privacy Rights (GDPR)

EHM Tech LLC is the controller of your personal data when you use the App in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland. Under the GDPR you have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and to object to certain processing. Where we rely on consent (for example, App Tracking Transparency permission on iOS) you may withdraw your consent at any time. Contact support@ehm-tech.com.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted within the App with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
