What this site collects, what it does not, and who sees it.
The calculator keeps your answers in your browser
The Medicare cost checker runs entirely on your device. Your answers are used to compute the estimate in your browser and are never sent anywhere. We do not ask for your name, email, phone number or Social Security number to use it.
Analytics and attribution
This site measures page views and selected interactions with Google Analytics 4 and the Meta Pixel. Measurement runs when a page loads. The site has no consent gate or cookie banner. That is a deliberate decision by the publisher, recorded on September 14, 2026.
Google Analytics and Meta use cookies and similar identifiers to distinguish visits and understand how pages are used. They may receive information such as pages viewed, general location derived from an IP address, device type, referrer and their own click identifiers. Google advertising features, ad-personalization signals and Google Signals remain disabled. Google and Meta handle this data under their own terms: see the Google privacy policy and Meta privacy policy.
Past 55 also stores privacy-safe first-touch and last-non-direct-touch attribution in your browser. This is limited to campaign labels, landing path, external referrer domain and whether a recognized advertising click identifier was present. We measure 30-second engagement, 50 and 90 percent scroll depth, outbound link clicks, source clicks, calculator starts and completions, and future email, affiliate or lead actions. Arbitrary query parameters, calculator answers, names, email addresses, phone numbers and form contents are not stored in attribution or sent as analytics event parameters.
What we never do
- We do not sell data. Not to advertisers, data brokers or anyone else.
- We do not send calculator answers to Google, Meta or Past 55.
- We do not add names, email addresses, phone numbers or form contents to analytics events.
- We do not enable Google Signals or ad-personalization signals.
- We do not send email you did not ask for; the site does not currently collect email addresses.
