How PostalPlan handles your data
Calculator values are processed in your browser. PostalPlan does not require an account and this application has no database or API endpoint that receives the values entered in the calculator.
01
What happens when you calculate
02
Technology used
Build the interface and run the interactive calculator in the browser.
Adds type checks to calculation and policy-data code during development.
Premium rows used by the calculator are bundled with the application code.
Creates a downloadable quotation PDF on the user’s device.
The current project contains no database client, account system or calculator-submission API.
Changing calculator inputs updates in-memory React state instead of sending a form to a server.
03
What this statement covers
This describes the PostalPlan application code and its calculator workflow. Hosting providers may still process ordinary technical request data—such as an IP address or browser information—in infrastructure logs. Third-party resources loaded by the site may also receive normal web-request information. Those infrastructure activities are separate from PostalPlan storing calculator entries.
The architecture supports the statement that PostalPlan does not save calculator inputs in an application database. A technology list alone cannot prove that no network or hosting logs exist.
04
Verify the code and contribute
PostalPlan is developed in a public GitHub repository. Anyone can inspect the application code, review how calculator inputs are handled, report an issue or propose an enhancement. Public source code makes the privacy and calculation claims open to independent review.
