This Privacy Policy explains how [Your Name or Company] (“we”, “us”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit [your website address] (the “Site”).
1. Information you enter in calculators
Calculations run entirely in your browser. The numbers you type into our calculators are not sent to our servers and are not stored by us.
2. Information you send us
If you use our contact form, we receive your name, email address, subject and message. We use them only to reply to you. Messages are delivered by email and are not stored in our website database. We keep correspondence only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry. To prevent spam, a one-way hashed version of your IP address is kept for up to one hour.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use:
- Preference storage: if you switch between light and dark mode, your choice is saved in your browser’s local storage. It is not sent to us.
- Analytics cookies (if enabled): [e.g. Google Analytics] helps us understand how visitors use the Site — pages visited, time on page, device type and approximate location. This information is aggregated.
- Advertising cookies: see section 4.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the Site may not work as intended without them.
4. Advertising — Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to show advertisements. In connection with this:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent through a consent management platform before personalised ads or non-essential cookies are used.

6. Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)
We process personal data on the basis of your consent (advertising and analytics cookies), our legitimate interests (security, fixing errors, replying to messages) and compliance with legal obligations.
