Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 3/13/2026
At Dapplesoft, we take your privacy and the security of your financial data extremely seriously. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle information when you use the Angel Equity Dilution Calculator.
1. Core Data Privacy Commitment: Client-Side Processing
The Angel Equity Dilution Calculator is architected as a "client-side only" application. This is a fundamental design choice to protect your sensitive startup data.
- No Server Transmission: All calculations, cap table modeling, and data processing happen entirely within your local web browser.
- No Database Storage: We do not transmit, upload, or store any of the financial figures, valuations, investment amounts, or ownership percentages you enter into the tool to our servers or any third-party databases.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
Because of our client-side architecture, we do not collect or process:
- Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers (unless you voluntarily provide them by emailing us for support).
- Company names, financial metrics, or cap table structures.
- Investment terms, convertible note details, or ESOP pool sizes.
3. Local Storage and Cookies
To improve your user experience, the application may utilize your browser's Local Storage. This allows the tool to temporarily save your calculation state so that if you accidentally refresh the page or close the tab, your work is not lost.
Important: Data saved in Local Storage remains exclusively on your physical device. It is never sent over the internet to us. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's cache and site data.
4. Third-Party Analytics and Advertising
To maintain and improve our free tools, we use standard third-party services:
- Web Analytics: We may use services like Google Analytics to understand general, aggregated traffic patterns (e.g., page views, geographic regions, browser types). This data is anonymized and cannot be linked to the financial data you input into the calculator.
- Advertising: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information on our privacy practices.
