After the Fed is a small editorial site. We do not ask you to create an account. Calculators run in your browser and do not send balances or APRs to our server.

What we collect

The hosting company logs standard server data (IP address, browser, pages requested) to operate and secure the site. If we add analytics, we will name the provider here. If you email hello@afterthefed.com, we keep the message long enough to reply.
