Privacy Policy

Summary

• We use the information you provide (like messages) to respond and support the Site.
• We collect limited technical information automatically (like IP address, device/browser info, and pages viewed) for security, performance, analytics, and advertising.
• Calculator inputs are intended to be processed in your browser. We do not require you to create an account.
• We may use cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics and Google AdSense, which may collect information for measurement and advertising.
• Depending on where you live, you may have privacy rights such as access, deletion, correction, or opting out of certain uses.

Information We Collect

1) Information you provide

• Contact information (such as name and email) if you send us a message via Contact.
• Message contents and any information you choose to include in your inquiry.

2) Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect:

• IP address and approximate location derived from IP (city/region level)
• Device, browser, and operating system information
• Pages viewed, time on page, clicks, and referring/exit pages
• Identifiers stored in cookies or similar technologies
• Diagnostic and performance data (e.g., to detect errors or abuse)

3) Calculator inputs

The Site includes calculators that may accept inputs (for example: age, height, weight, activity level). We design the calculators so results are generated without requiring an account.

Important: Links you generate or share may include calculator inputs in the URL query string (for example, to show a results page). If you share that link, anyone with the link may be able to see those inputs. Avoid sharing links that include information you consider sensitive.

How We Use Information

• Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Site and calculators
• Measure traffic and usage patterns and understand what content is most helpful
• Debug issues, monitor performance, and improve reliability
• Prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
• Respond to messages and provide support
• Display advertising and measure ad performance (where enabled)
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms and policies

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage, pixels, and device identifiers) to help the Site function, remember preferences, measure traffic, and support advertising.

• Essential cookies help the Site work and protect it from abuse.
• Analytics cookies help us understand usage so we can improve pages and features.
• Advertising cookies may be used to show and measure ads, including interest-based ads.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect parts of the Site.

Analytics and Advertising Partners

Google Analytics

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics may collect information such as your IP address, device/browser information, pages visited, and interactions. Google may process this information for analytics and measurement purposes under its own policies.

Google AdSense (Advertising)

We may display ads through Google AdSense and related Google advertising services. These services may use cookies or similar identifiers to:

• Serve and measure ads
• Limit ad frequency
• Detect fraud and abuse
• Personalize ads based on your interests (where permitted by law and settings)

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services, and manage ad personalization in your Google settings. You can also use industry opt-out tools (availability varies by region).

How We Share Information

We may share information with trusted service providers who help operate the Site (for example: hosting, analytics, advertising, security, and email delivery). These providers are permitted to use information only to perform services for us and are expected to protect it.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights and safety, to prevent fraud or abuse, or as part of a business transaction (such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale).

We do not knowingly sell personal information for money. Some advertising and measurement activities may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under certain U.S. state laws. Where applicable, you may have the right to opt out (see below).

Data Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Examples:

• Security logs may be kept for a limited period to protect the Site and investigate issues.
• Analytics data may be retained based on vendor settings and reporting needs.
• Messages you send may be retained to respond, maintain records, and for compliance purposes.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Please use the Site responsibly and avoid sharing sensitive personal information.

International Visitors

The Site is operated from the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as contractual protections) to support international data transfers.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights related to your personal information, such as:

• Access to the personal information we have about you
• Correction of inaccurate information
• Deletion of certain information
• Portability (receiving a copy in a usable format)
• Restriction or objection to certain processing (EU/UK)
• Opting out of targeted advertising / “sharing” (certain U.S. states)

To make a request, please use our contact page. We may need to verify your request before responding. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in certain regions). If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is not yet a common standard for interpreting these signals, the Site does not respond to Do Not Track signals.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and update the “Last updated” date above. If changes materially affect your rights, we will provide additional notice where required by law.

This policy is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. If you need advice specific to your situation, consult a qualified attorney.
