Effective date: September 9, 2025
Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how CalculAwesome (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit and use our website and tools. We aim to be simple and transparent: most of our calculators run entirely in your browser and do not send your inputs to our servers unless you choose to save or share results. This policy describes what that means, your choices, and how to contact us.
Information we collect
-
Browser-only inputs: Many tools perform calculations locally in your browser. When this is the case, your input values stay on your device and are not transmitted to our servers.
-
Saved or shared results: If you choose to save, export, or share a calculation, the values and any optional metadata you include (e.g., a title, note, or email address when sharing) will be stored on our servers to enable that functionality.
-
Usage data and logs: We collect limited technical data about visits such as page requests, timestamps, browser type, and IP address. This helps us operate and improve the site and diagnose issues.
-
Cookies and local storage: We and our service providers may use cookies or browser local storage to remember preferences, keep you logged in, or provide essential functionality. You can control or clear these through your browser settings.
-
Third-party service data: If you interact with third-party features (for example, embedded social content, payments, or translations), those providers may collect data according to their own policies.
How we use information
-
To provide, maintain and improve calculators and site features.
-
To store and deliver saved or shared results when you explicitly request that functionality.
-
To analyze site usage and performance, helping us prioritize improvements and fix bugs.
-
To respond to support requests, bug reports, or other communications you send us.
-
To meet legal obligations or protect the security and integrity of the site.
Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in these limited situations:
-
With service providers: We use trusted third-party providers to host the site, deliver email, process payments, or run analytics. These providers only receive the data necessary to perform their services and are contractually prohibited from using it for other purposes.
-
When you share: If you use a sharing feature (email, public link), the content you choose to share will be visible to recipients.
-
Legal reasons: We may disclose information to comply with laws, respond to legal requests, or prevent fraud or harm.
-
Business transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to privacy protections.
Data retention
We retain saved data and account-related information only as long as necessary to provide requested features or to comply with legal obligations. Usage logs and aggregated analytics are retained for a limited period to help maintain and improve the service. If you request deletion of your saved results or account, we will remove them where technically feasible and as required by law.
Your rights and choices
-
Access and correction: You can request access to or correction of data we hold about you (for example, saved results or account information).
-
Deletion: You can request deletion of your saved data. Note that certain logs or backups may persist for a short time for security or operational reasons.
-
Cookies and local storage: You can manage or block cookies through your browser. Blocking cookies may affect some features.
-
Email communication: You can opt out of marketing or notification emails using the link in any message or by contacting us.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately.
Children
Our services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect or maintain information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete that information.
International transfers
CalculAwesome operates globally. Data we collect may be processed in countries other than your own. When we transfer personal data across borders, we implement appropriate safeguards to protect it in accordance with applicable law.
Third-party links and services
Our site may include links, embeds, or integrations with third-party services (for example, social platforms or code repositories). Those services have their own privacy policies and practices. This Privacy Policy does not apply to their processing of your information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes we will post the new effective date and a summary of significant changes. Continued use of the site after updates indicates acceptance of the new policy.
