Privacy policy

CentsPerHour is run by Muhammad Uzair, based in Pakistan. If you have a question about this policy or your data, email uzairxdev@gmail.com.

You do not need an account to use CentsPerHour. We do not ask for your name to use the calculators. We store two small settings in your browser. We use analytics to understand how the site is used, and ads to pay for it. Advertising partners such as Google use cookies, and you can control this. If you upload a photo of a bill, it is sent to an AI service only to read the tariff numbers, and we do not store the image.

The site saves two settings in your browser’s localStorage:

cph:country remembers the country you chose, so you see the right prices next time.

cph:lang-suggest-dismissed remembers that you closed a language suggestion, so we do not show it again.

These settings stay on your device. You can remove them at any time by clearing your browser’s site data.

We use Google Analytics 4 and Cloudflare Web Analytics to see which pages are read, how people find the site, and whether things are working. This helps us decide what to improve. Google Analytics may use cookies and collects information such as pages visited, approximate location, device and browser type. Where the law requires it, analytics cookies are only set after you agree.

CentsPerHour shows ads through Google AdSense. In the future we may use a managed ad network, such as Mediavine/Journey. If we do, we will update this policy.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Ads may still appear, but they will be less relevant to you.

EEA, UK and Switzerland: visitors see a consent message from a Google-certified consent management platform. You can accept, refuse or choose which purposes you allow, and change your choice later.

United States: if you live in a US state with privacy laws that give you the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, or of targeted advertising, use the “Your privacy choices” option on the site. We will honour your choice.

You can type the numbers from your bill into the bill analyzer. If you prefer, you can upload a photo or PDF of your bill instead.

An uploaded bill is sent to Anthropic’s Claude API only to read the tariff numbers: units used, amount, slabs and rates. CentsPerHour does not store the image. The tool asks the AI not to return names, addresses or account numbers. Anthropic handles the data under its own privacy policy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy

If you would rather not share an image of your bill at all, type the numbers in yourself. You do not need to upload anything to use the tool.

If you email uzairxdev@gmail.com, we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it only to reply and, for corrections, to fix the page. We do not sell it or add you to a mailing list.

The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical information such as your IP address and browser details to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse.

We do not sell your personal information for money. Advertising cookies set by our ad partners may count as “sale” or “sharing” under some US state laws, which is why we offer the “Your privacy choices” option.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data about you, to object to or restrict how it is used, and to withdraw consent. To use these rights, email uzairxdev@gmail.com. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

CentsPerHour is a general-audience site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we change how we handle data, for example by adding a new ad or analytics provider, we will update this page and its “Updated” date.
