What you actually want to know
Privacy
All data you enter into this website (apart from your email address) is end-to-end encrypted, so we can't read it, hackers can't read it, your ex can't read it. If God almighty came down and compelled us to give him your data, we would have to say:
"We apologize, but this data is end-to-end encrypted, we are literally unable to read this data without access to the user's password, which never leaves their device."
If you want us to delete literally everything of yours that we have, just email us at hello@percentbar.com & ask :)
Terms
- Don't do anything illegal.
- We're allowed to shut down this website or delete any of its data (including anything you entered) at any time, without any prior notice, explanation etc. If this happens and you paid for it, we'll arrange proportional refunds where appropriate.
Refunds
Full refund within 30 days of purchase (first purchase for a subscription), no questions asked :)
Just email hello@percentbar.com with the subject Refund Request & ask :)
And here's the part we legally have to put:
The following legal terms, disclaimers, and privacy policy constitute the binding legal agreement between you and PercentBar. To the extent there is any conflict or inconsistency between the informal explanations provided above and the formal legal language below, the formal legal language below shall govern and take precedence in all respects.
While we implement industry-standard end-to-end encryption and security measures, no system is 100% secure. We make no absolute guarantees about the security of your data. The security of your information also depends on factors beyond our control, including the security of your device, password strength, and internet connection.
Our encryption and security measures are designed to protect your data, but we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide your personal information at your own risk.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OF OUR SERVICE OR ANY SECURITY BREACH, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Effective Date: 2025-06-03
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how PercentBar ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you use our website and services.
Notice at Collection (California Privacy Rights)
The following chart summarizes the categories of personal information PercentBar collects, the business or commercial purposes for each category, our typical retention period, and whether the information is sold or shared as those terms are defined by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
| Category | Examples | Purpose | Retention | Sold/Shared |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | Email address | Account setup & authentication | Account life + 30 days | No |
| Commercial Information | Purchase history | Payment processing & refunds | 4 years (tax) | No |
| Internet Activity | Page views, referrer | Site analytics & improvement | Per Vercel policy | No |
| User-Generated Content | Encrypted bar data | Provide core service | Until deleted by user | No |
1. Information We Collect
Personal Information You Provide
- Account Information: Email address (stored) and password (used for encryption but not stored) when you create an account
- Communication Information: Information you provide when you contact us for support
- Payment Information: Collected directly by our payment processor (Stripe) - we do not see or store any payment information
- User-Generated Content: Any data additional to the above that you choose to enter into our website (end-to-end encrypted using your password)
Information Automatically Collected
- Web Analytics Data: Collected by Vercel Web Analytics on our behalf using privacy-focused methods (no cookies, anonymized daily visitor hashes): page views, unique visitors, referrer information, general geographic location (country), operating system, browser type, and device type. This data is anonymized and visitors cannot be tracked between different days.
- Cookies and Local Storage: We use essential cookies for authentication and session management, and localStorage to save your bar data and preferences locally on your device. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling essential cookies may affect functionality.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information for the following purposes:
- Provide, maintain, and improve our services
- Manage your account and authenticate your identity
- Communicate with you about our services and respond to support requests
- Process payments through our third-party payment processor
- Analyze usage patterns through anonymized analytics to improve user experience
- Comply with legal obligations
3. How We Share Your Information
We may share your personal information in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: With third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf (eg. Vercel, Stripe)
- Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights and safety
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, sale, or other business transaction (you would be notified in advance)
- Consent: With your explicit consent
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
4. Local Storage
PercentBar uses your browser's localStorage to save your bar data and preferences locally on your device. This data includes:
- Your current bar data and project information
- Interface preferences (percentage vs. value mode)
- Project titles and settings
This local storage data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly choose to save it to your account. You can clear this data at any time using the "Clear Bar" or "Delete Bar" buttons, or if not saved to your account, you can also do this by clearing your browser's storage.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for:
- Authentication and session management (when you sign in)
- Remembering your preferences and settings
We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes. Vercel Web Analytics operates without cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling essential cookies may affect authentication functionality.
6. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure.
Encryption Implementation
We implement end-to-end encryption using industry-standard AES-256 encryption. Your data is encrypted client-side using your password as the encryption key before being transmitted to our servers. This means:
- Your password is used locally to encrypt your user-generated content and only a hash is sent for authentication
- All user-generated content is encrypted before transmission
- We store only encrypted user-generated content that cannot be decrypted without your password
- Even our administrators cannot decrypt your user-generated content (we can only see the hash)
- Encryption keys are derived from your password using PBKDF2 with salt
- We do not store your password
7. Data Breach Notification
In the event of a data security incident that affects your personal information, we will:
- Notify affected users within 72 hours of discovering the breach
- Provide details about what information was involved
- Explain what steps we are taking to address the breach
- Advise on steps you can take to protect yourself
- Comply with all applicable state and federal breach notification laws
Due to our end-to-end encryption, even in the event of a data breach, your user-generated content would remain encrypted and inaccessible without your password.
8. User Responsibilities
By using our service, you agree to:
- Not input any illegal content
- Keep your password secure and not share it with others
- Understand that you are solely responsible for backing up your data
- Be aware that while we implement strong encryption, you input data at your own risk
You acknowledge that we have no ability to monitor or review your encrypted content, and you are solely responsible for ensuring your use complies with all applicable laws.
9. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Specific Retention Periods
- Account Information: Retained while your account is active and for 30 days after account deletion
- Encrypted User Content: Retained while your account is active and deleted when you delete your account or specific content
- Analytics Data: Anonymized data retained by Vercel according to their retention policies
- Support Communications: Retained for 2 years to help resolve future issues
- Payment Information: Handled by Stripe according to their retention policies and legal requirements
Deletion Process
When you delete your account or request data deletion:
- Your encrypted content is immediately deleted from our servers
- Your account information is deleted within 30 days
- Some information may be retained longer if and only if required by law
- Anonymized analytics data is not subject to a deletion timeline as it cannot be linked back to you
10. Your Privacy Rights

- Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate personal information
- Deletion: Request that we delete your personal information
- Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications
