Are my numbers saved?

No. Your amounts stay in your browser and are never sent to us. The page only asks a price service for today's gold and silver rates, and your numbers are not part of that request.

Where do the gold and silver prices come from?

They are approximate market prices loaded from two free public services (gold-api.com and open.er-api.com), so they may differ a little from your local jeweller. You can always type your own price.
