Privacy Policy for CalcMaster

Last Updated: [Date - e.g., April 10, 2025]

1. Introduction

Welcome to CalcMaster ("us", "we", or "our"). We operate the website located at [Your Website URL] (the "Service").

This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Important: We strive to minimize data collection. Most of our calculators function entirely within your browser using JavaScript. We utilize standard web technologies like local storage for features like saving recent calculations, but this data typically remains on your device.

2. Information Collection and Use

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.

Types of Data Collected

  • Usage Data: We may collect information on how the Service is accessed and used ("Usage Data"). This Usage Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol address (e.g., IP address, anonymized where possible), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic data. We typically use services like Google Analytics for this purpose, which have their own privacy policies.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies are files with small amounts of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service. Examples include session cookies, preference cookies (like dark mode setting), and security cookies. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites (see Advertising section).
  • Local Storage: Some calculators may use your browser's local storage to save recent calculations or inputs for your convenience. This data is stored on your device and is not typically transmitted to our servers unless explicitly stated for a specific feature (which we currently do not implement).
  • Contact Information (If you contact us): If you contact us directly (e.g., via a contact form or email), we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide.

3. Use of Data

CalcMaster uses the collected data for various purposes:

  • To provide and maintain our Service
  • To improve, personalize, and expand our Service
  • To understand and analyze how you use our Service
  • To develop new products, services, features, and functionality
  • To provide advertising (see Advertising section)
  • To communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, including for customer service, to provide you with updates and other information relating to the Service, and for marketing and promotional purposes (only if you opt-in, e.g., newsletter)
  • To find and prevent fraud

4. Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on our Service. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings.
  • Alternatively, users can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
  • Please review Google's Privacy Policy for more information on how Google uses data: How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.

5. Data Retention

We will retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer periods.

Data stored in your browser's local storage persists until you clear your browser data.

6. Transfer Of Data

Your information, including potentially anonymized Usage Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your use of the Service represents your agreement to that transfer.

CalcMaster will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

7. Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect any minimal data we might handle (like Usage Data), we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

8. Links to Other Sites

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

We will let you know via a prominent notice on our Service, prior to the change becoming effective and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
