Privacy Policy

Effective date: February 23, 2026

Here's a Decision ("we," "us," "our") operates the website heresadecision.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our site, how we use that information, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

Profile information. When you use a decision tool, we ask for your first name, age range, email address, employment status, and number of dependents. This information is used to personalize your recommendation and, if you provide an email address, to send you a summary of your result.

Decision data. When you submit a decision tool, we collect the answers you selected, the recommendation generated, and the confidence score. This data is linked to a hashed identifier derived from your IP address and browser cookie. This identifier is a one-way hash and cannot be reversed to reveal your IP address.

Feedback data. If you choose to rate a result as helpful or not helpful, we store that response linked to the decision record.

Cookies. We set one cookie ("had_device_id") containing a randomly generated token. This cookie is used to enforce the daily decision limit and to remember your profile information so you do not have to re-enter it. It is set as HttpOnly and cannot be accessed by client-side scripts. We do not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or third-party tracking cookies.

2. How We Use Your Information

Email. If you provide an email address, we use it to send you a summary of your decision result immediately after submission. We may occasionally notify you when new tools relevant to your past decisions become available. We do not sell your email or add it to third-party mailing lists.

Personalization. Your name, age range, employment status, and dependents are used to personalize the recommendation and the PDF report to your specific situation.

Improvement. We use aggregated, anonymized decision and feedback data to improve the accuracy and usefulness of our tools, to understand which tools are used most frequently, and to identify areas where our recommendations may need adjustment.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, license, or share your data with any third party. We do not provide data to advertisers, data brokers, or analytics services. If this policy changes in the future, we will update this page before any such sharing takes effect.

4. Data Retention

Profile information (name, email, employment status, age range, dependents) is stored on our servers and linked to your device identifier. Decision records are retained indefinitely for the purpose of improving our tools. You may clear your browser cookies at any time, which will remove the link between your device and your stored profile.

5. Your Choices

Use of this site is entirely voluntary. You are not required to use any tool or submit any information. You may clear your browser cookies at any time, which will reset your daily decision limit and remove the device identifier we store on your device. You may stop using the site at any time without consequence. To request deletion of your stored profile data, contact us at the address below.

6. Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
