Privacy policy.
The short version: all calculations happen in your browser, no account is required, and we never store your financial data. Effective immediately upon your use of this site - the detail is below.
Pakistan Investment Education does not sell your personal data. All calculations are performed locally in your browser. We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate site usage and Google AdSense to display advertisements; both may use cookies.

Information We Collect
We collect minimal data to operate this service:
- Investment amount you enter: Typed into the calculator on the home page. This data is processed entirely in your browser and is never sent to our servers.
- Usage analytics: We use Google Analytics 4 to collect aggregate, anonymised usage statistics - pages visited, approximate location (country/city level), device type, and how visitors found the site. This helps us understand which guides are useful. Google Analytics uses cookies; we do not receive any personally identifying information from it, and we have not enabled advertising features or data sharing beyond Google's defaults. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Technical data: Standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, referring URL) may be retained by our hosting provider (GitHub Pages) for up to 30 days for security purposes.
