Form entries and generated documents

The pay stub generator, the 1099 generator and every other standard tool run entirely in your browser. Calculations and PDF creation happen on your device. Company names, employee names, addresses, pay amounts and the last four digits of any Social Security number are never transmitted to our servers, logged or stored by us. Closing the tab clears them. We never ask for a full Social Security number. The W-9 generator has no Social Security number field at all; an EIN you enter there prints in full on your PDF and, like everything else, stays on your device. The blank IRS form it fills is fetched from this site, and nothing you typed goes with that request.

The invoice, estimate, receipt, expense report, W-2, 1099 and W-9 generators also keep a draft of the form in your browser's local storage, on your device only, so a refresh does not lose your work. The draft never leaves your device and we cannot read it. Clear all in the generator deletes it, as does clearing your browser's site data. Logos you upload are not saved in the draft.

If we add optional features that save documents to an account, they will be opt-in, described on this page before launch, and this wording will be updated.

Template downloads

Templates are static files. Downloading one sends a normal web request for the file, and Google Analytics counts the download (which file, not what you do with it). Nothing you type into a template is ever sent back.

What we do collect

• Server logs. Our hosting provider records standard request data (IP address, page requested, browser type, time) for security and capacity. Logs are kept for a limited time.
• Analytics. We use Google Analytics to count visits and to see which tools are used: page views, and when a document is downloaded or printed, with the tool and the file type only. The contents of your forms are never sent. Google Analytics sets cookies; visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are asked first. You can opt out with Google's opt-out browser add-on.
• Advertising. The site shows display ads from Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your 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 visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent through Google's consent message before personalized ads are shown. We do not pass form contents to advertisers.
• Contact. If you email us we keep the correspondence to answer you.

Cookies

The tools themselves set no cookies. The only thing they store is the draft described above, in your browser. Google Analytics and Google AdSense set their own; see above.

Children

The site is for business use and is not directed at children under 13.

Your rights

Because we hold no document data, there is nothing for us to export or delete from the generators. For correspondence or log data, or any privacy question, email privacy@getbizdocs.com or contact us.
