Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how calctypes.com collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website, calculators, and contact forms.
- We currently use Google Search Console for search performance insights.
- We do not currently use Google Analytics, but we may add analytics/ads later.
- If you contact us, we collect the details you submit (e.g., name, email, message).
- Third-party embeds (e.g., YouTube) and future ads (e.g., AdSense) may set cookies or collect device/usage data under their policies.
1) Information We Collect
A) Information you provide to us
When you use our contact forms (including βreport an issueβ submissions), we may collect the information you submit, such as:
- Name (first and last)
- Email address
- Message content (including calculator name, inputs used, and expected/actual results if you choose to include them)
B) Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we (and our service providers) may automatically receive certain technical information when you visit, such as:
- IP address (which may indicate general location)
- device and browser type, operating system
- referring page, pages viewed, approximate timestamps
- cookie identifiers and similar technologies (where enabled)
C) Google Search Console
We use Google Search Console to understand how our site appears in Google Search and to monitor search performance. Search Console reports are typically aggregated and focused on site performance rather than identifying individual users.
2) How We Use Information
We use information for purposes such as:
- responding to messages, questions, and error reports
- maintaining, improving, and debugging calculators and site features
- protecting the Website from abuse, fraud, and security issues
- understanding overall site performance and improving content quality
3) Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We and third parties may use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixels, local storage, SDKs) to help deliver site functionality, remember preferences, measure performance, and (if enabled) serve ads.
Depending on your region, you may see a cookie notice/consent banner when such technologies are used for advertising or analytics.
4) Advertising (AdSense) & Affiliate Links (Future)
The Website is not currently actively monetized. In the future, we may enable advertising (including Google AdSense) and/or add affiliate links or partnerships.
Google AdSense (if/when enabled)
- Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a userβs prior visits to this and/or other websites.
- Googleβs use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits and interests.
You can learn more about Googleβs advertising and controls here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads and manage ad personalization here: https://adssettings.google.com/.
Affiliate links (if/when enabled)
If we use affiliate links in the future, we will aim to disclose them clearly. Affiliate links may generate a commission at no extra cost to you. We do not guarantee third-party products or services.
5) Third-Party Services & Embedded Content
The Website may use or embed third-party services (now or in the future), including but not limited to:
- YouTube embedded videos
- Google services and scripts (including Search Console and potential future AdSense)
- fonts, CDN resources, and other embedded assets
These third parties may collect technical information such as IP address, browser/device details, cookies, and usage data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review those third-party policies.
6) How We Share Information
We may share information in limited circumstances, such as:
- with service providers who help operate the Website (e.g., hosting, security, spam prevention, form processing)
- to comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests
- to protect rights, safety, and security of the Website and users
- in connection with a business transfer (e.g., merger, acquisition, asset sale), subject to applicable laws
We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense. However, some advertising technologies may be considered βsharingβ under certain privacy laws; where applicable, we will aim to provide appropriate controls.
7) Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy (such as responding to your request, maintaining records, and ensuring site security), unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
8) Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9) Your Choices & Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or information about how we process your personal data.
You can also:
- contact us to request deletion of contact-form submissions you sent (where feasible and lawful)
- control cookies via your browser settings
- manage Google ad personalization through Google Ads Settings
Note: Cookie controls may affect site functionality. Some cookies may be necessary for security and basic operation.
10) Childrenβs Privacy
The Website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our contact form, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to address the request.
11) Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated βLast updatedβ date. Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
