Bridge to 65 is run by [BUSINESS NAME], [BUSINESS ADDRESS] ("we"). This page explains what happens to information when you use the calculator or sign up for our emails. The short version: we don't store what you enter into the calculator, and the only thing we keep is your email address if you choose to subscribe.
To calculate your numbers, your entries (ZIP code, ages, household size and expected income) are sent to our server. The server uses them to compute the result and then discards them. They are not saved to a database or linked to you.
To write the plain-English explanation of your result, the county, ages, household size, income and calculated figures are sent to Anthropic's API (the company behind Claude). Your ZIP code, name or email are never sent. Anthropic processes this under its commercial terms: see anthropic.com/legal.
If you use "Copy link to these results", your entries are placed in the web address after the "#" sign. That part of the address stays in your browser and is not sent to our server when the page loads. Anyone you share the link with can see those entries.
If you sign up, we store your email address only, in our own email system (listmonk, hosted on our server). You'll get a confirmation email first; nothing is sent until you confirm. Every email has an unsubscribe link. When you unsubscribe, we stop emailing you. To have your address deleted entirely, email [CONTACT EMAIL].
Like most websites, our web server keeps standard access logs (IP address, browser type, page requested, time) for security and troubleshooting. These logs do not contain your calculator entries. We keep them for [NUMBER] days. The page loads fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser contacts Google's servers.
| Service | What it receives | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Hostinger (server hosting) | Everything sent to our server, including access logs and subscriber emails stored on it | Runs the calculator and email system |
| Anthropic | County, ages, household size, income, calculated figures | Writes the explanation |
| Google Fonts | Your IP address and browser details | Loads the page's fonts |
We don't sell data, use advertising trackers on this page, or share subscriber emails with anyone.
You can use the calculator without giving us any contact details. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time, and ask us to delete your email address by writing to [CONTACT EMAIL].
Results are estimates based on public CMS and IRS data. They are not tax, legal or insurance advice. Confirm your numbers on HealthCare.gov before enrolling.
If we change how we handle data, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
