Privacy policy

Effective September 11, 2026

EmployerCost is operated by Covo Franco Digital LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, at 30 N Gould St Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801. This policy explains the data used to provide employer-cost planning estimates, requested first-party services, analytics, and approved partner attribution.

Information you enter in the calculator

Salary, state, benefits level, role risk profile, SUTA assumptions, and payroll administration choices are calculated in your browser. They are not sent to EmployerCost merely because you use or change the calculator.

Requested first-party services

You may choose either an estimate_email containing the calculation and checklist or a reviewed_plan request for the free human-review pilot. For either choice, we process your email address, selected request type, hiring timeline, calculation snapshot, source page, limited campaign attribution, consent version and timestamp, and random submission identifiers. If you continue from the provider comparison, we also process the selected implementation path and planning headcount so the review retains that context. We use this data to fulfill the selected request, prevent duplicate or abusive submissions, notify the project inbox, and place the request in a new CRM state.

The required checkbox covers fulfillment of the selected request. If you choose a reviewed plan, a team member may contact you to clarify or deliver that review even when optional marketing consent is not selected. A separate, optional checkbox controls unrelated follow-up about payroll or PEO options. It is not preselected and is not required for either first-party service.

The reviewed-plan pilot is free. EmployerCost does not collect payment details, start checkout, or require a purchase or subscription through this form.

Widget installation inquiries

The widget_installation form processes a work email, the public website domain you supply, website platform, desired timing, source page, limited campaign attribution, consent version and timestamp, and random submission identifiers. If you arrived from a state guide, the two-letter state may also be recorded. We use these fields to assess whether the standard static embed fits one website, prevent duplicate or abusive requests, send a confirmation, and notify the project inbox.

Submitting an installation inquiry does not take payment, accept a contract, grant a license, or authorize production use. It permits a response about that specific request; it does not opt you into unrelated marketing. Do not provide CMS credentials, employee records, payroll files, tax account information, banking information, or other sensitive data.

Security and spam controls

We may process a shortened hash derived from the requesting IP address for rate limiting and attribution. We do not need or request Social Security numbers, tax account credentials, payroll files, bank details, or employee records.

Analytics

EmployerCost uses Google Analytics 4 to understand sessions, page usage, and funnel events such as calculator submissions, installation-CTA clicks, selected request type, and successful lead submissions. A CTA click is not treated as a request. To avoid measuring the same successful request twice, the browser may retain a random receipt marker that contains no email address, public domain, or calculation inputs. Funnel counts are aggregate events and are not treated as people, leads, conversions, payments, licenses, or revenue unless separately reconciled. We do not send email addresses or submitted website domains to analytics.

Affiliate links

Approved outbound partner links may carry a click identifier, provider, placement, source path, and campaign parameters so a later conversion or payout can be reconciled. A click is never recorded or presented as revenue. Partner links remain inactive until EmployerCost has actual program approval.

Service providers

Vercel hosts the site and serverless functions. Upstash-compatible storage may hold lead and approved partner-attribution records. Resend delivers requested and internal notification emails. Google provides analytics. These providers process data under their own security and privacy terms.

Retention and deletion

Lead and partner-attribution records are configured to expire after no more than 400 days unless a shorter legal, operational, or deletion period applies. Email copies and CRM records may persist separately until the request is resolved or deletion is requested. Aggregated analytics may follow the retention settings configured in Google Analytics.

Your choices

You may decline optional follow-up, use the calculator or fictional widget demo without submitting an email, withdraw a reviewed-plan or widget-installation request, block analytics through browser or privacy controls, and ask to access, correct, or delete a lead record. Withdrawing optional follow-up does not affect an email you already requested.

Changes

We may update this policy as the funnel or service providers change. The effective date above identifies the current version.

Contact

For a privacy request, withdrawal, or optional-follow-up opt-out, email partners@employercost.com. Include enough information to locate the request, but do not send sensitive payroll, tax, identity, or banking records.
