PacePotYour data stays on your device
PacePot is a browser-based tool. No accounts, no server storage, no bank connections. Here is exactly what happens to your information.
Last updated 20 August 2026.
What PacePot stores
Everything you enter in PacePot is saved in your browser's localStorage, under the key shortTermSavingsPlanner.v1. This includes your goal names, target amounts, deadlines, contributions, and budget entries.
This data never leaves your device. It is not sent to any server, not readable by PacePot, and not shared with anyone. Clearing your browser's site data removes it permanently.
What PacePot does not store
No account or login
PacePot has no user accounts. You never enter an email address or password.
No bank connection
PacePot does not connect to any bank, payment provider, or financial institution. Every figure you enter is typed manually.
No financial values sent anywhere
The amounts, goals, and budgets you enter are stored only in your browser. They are never sent to a server or third party.
No advertising cookies
PacePot sets no advertising or cross-site cookies. Google Analytics sets its own first-party cookies for anonymous usage counts (see Analytics below), and your planner data lives in localStorage, which you can clear at any time.
Analytics
PacePot uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how the site is used. GA4 collects anonymous usage data such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and which calculators are used. It does not collect any financial values you enter, any goal names, or any personal data.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Hosting
PacePot is hosted by Vercel. Like any web host, their servers record standard technical details when a page is requested: the IP address, the page requested, the time, and the browser's user agent. These logs are how the site is served and kept working; they are handled by Vercel under their own privacy policy and are not linked to anything you enter in the planner.
Your goals, amounts, budgets and balances are never included in those requests, because they never leave your browser in the first place.
Links to other sites
Some pages link out to other websites, such as the support page or a government resource. Once you follow a link, you are on someone else's site, covered by their privacy policy rather than this one. PacePot does not share anything about you with those sites.
Your data, your control
Because PacePot stores nothing on a server, there is nothing to request, delete, or transfer on our end. To remove your PacePot data entirely, clear your browser's localStorage for pacepot.com in your browser settings. That permanently deletes everything.
If you have questions about this policy, contact makswittenbecksites@gmail.com. Please do not send bank details, passwords or private financial information by email.
