Privacy policy

Effective August 25, 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. 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.

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, selected request type, successful lead submissions, and widget-license interest clicks. Funnel counts are aggregate events and are not treated as people, leads, conversions, or revenue unless separately reconciled. We do not send email addresses 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 without submitting an email, withdraw a reviewed-plan 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.
