Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
Effective date: [INSERT DATE] | Last updated: [INSERT DATE]
This Privacy Policy explains how Precise Calculators ("we," "us," "our," or the "Site") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit https://precisecalculators.com and use the free calculator tools and related content offered on the Site.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and processing personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and other applicable data protection laws.
1. Data Controller
We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO), as our processing activities do not require one under Article 37 GDPR. However, the controller above acts as the primary contact for all privacy-related matters.
2. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors and users of precisecalculators.com, including:
- Users who browse the Site without entering any data
- Users who enter values into our calculators
- Users who contact us through the Contact page or by email
- Users whose data is collected through cookies, advertising, or analytics tools
This Policy does not apply to third-party websites we link to. Once you leave precisecalculators.com via an external link, you are subject to the privacy practices of that third party.
3. What Data We Collect
3.1 Information you enter into calculators
Our calculators process numerical and categorical inputs you provide for example, your height, weight, age, sex, body measurements, financial figures, dates, or other parameters required by the specific tool.
Important: Calculator inputs are generally processed directly in your browser (client-side) and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers, unless explicitly stated on a specific tool's page. We do not link calculator inputs to your identity. Once you close or refresh the page, those values are typically discarded.
Some calculators on the Site relate to health, fitness, reproductive cycles, body measurements, or other potentially sensitive topics (e.g., BMI, BMR, Calorie, Protein, Due Date, Period, Pregnancy, Bra Size, Corset Size, Wedding Dress Size). We do not knowingly collect, log, retain, or transmit these inputs in identifiable form. If you choose not to use these tools, you can simply avoid those pages.
3.2 Information you provide directly
When you contact us through the Contact page, by email, or through any form on the Site, we may collect:
- Your name (or chosen identifier)
- Email address
- The content of your message and any attachments
- Any other information you voluntarily provide
3.3 Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically through cookies, log files, and similar technologies, including:
- IP address (truncated/anonymized where required)
- Browser type, version, and language
- Operating system and device type
- Referring URL and pages viewed
- Date, time, and duration of visit
- Approximate geographic location (country/region level)
- Clickstream and interaction data
- Advertising identifiers (where applicable)
3.4 Information from third parties
We may receive information from advertising and analytics providers (such as Google) about your interaction with ads and content on the Site, in aggregated or pseudonymized form.
4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR / UK GDPR)
We process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): for non-essential cookies, personalized advertising, and analytics. You can withdraw consent at any time via our cookie banner or browser settings.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): for ensuring the security of the Site, preventing fraud and abuse, maintaining basic functionality, and limited aggregated analytics where permitted.
- Performance of a contract / pre-contractual steps (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): when you contact us with an inquiry.
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): where we must retain or disclose data to comply with applicable law.
We do not knowingly process special-category data (Art. 9 GDPR). Although certain calculators relate to health-adjacent topics, the inputs are not collected, stored, or linked to identifiable individuals by us.
5. How We Use Your Data
We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its calculators
- To respond to your questions, feedback, or support requests
- To display and measure advertising (including personalized ads where you have consented)
- To analyze how visitors use the Site and improve content quality
- To protect the Site against fraud, abuse, security incidents, and technical issues
- To comply with our legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies (local storage, pixels, tags) to function properly, measure traffic, and serve advertising. We use the following categories of cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Site to function (e.g., session, security, load balancing). These do not require consent.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., Google Analytics via Google Site Kit).
- Advertising cookies — used by Google AdSense and its advertising partners to serve relevant ads and measure performance.
- Functional/preference cookies — remember your choices (e.g., language, consent state).
You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie banner displayed on your first visit, or at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.
7. Advertising — Google AdSense and Partners
The Site participates in the Google AdSense advertising program (publisher network) to display ads and generate revenue that keeps our calculators free for users.
Google and its certified third-party vendors use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other sites on the internet. Google uses advertising cookies (such as the DoubleClick / IDE cookie and others) to display ads.
Where required by law, ads are served only after you have given consent through our consent management tool, in compliance with Google's EU User Consent Policy and the IAB TCF framework (where applicable).
You can opt out of personalized advertising by Google by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising via www.aboutads.info (US) or www.youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
For more information about how Google uses data when you use partner sites or apps, see policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
8. Analytics — Google Analytics and Google Site Kit
We use Google Analytics (delivered through Google Site Kit) to understand aggregated visitor behavior, such as which calculators are most used, traffic sources, and general engagement metrics.
Google Analytics uses cookies and similar identifiers to collect information about your device and browsing. IP addresses are processed with IP anonymization enabled, where supported. Data collected through Google Analytics is processed on Google's infrastructure and may be transferred outside the European Economic Area (see Section 11).
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by declining analytics cookies in our consent banner.
9. Sharing of Personal Data
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We share personal data only as described below:
- Service providers / processors: hosting, content delivery, security, email, and analytics providers acting on our instructions under appropriate data processing agreements.
- Advertising partners: Google AdSense and its certified vendors, for the purpose of serving and measuring ads.
- Search Console / Google Search: indirectly, through Google Site Kit for technical SEO monitoring.
- Legal and regulatory authorities: where disclosure is required to comply with applicable law, lawful requests, court orders, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
- Business transfers: in the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or asset sale, your data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same protections.
A full list of categories of recipients is available upon request via the email in Section 19.
10. Sensitive Topics and Health-Related Calculators
Several calculators on this Site relate to health, fitness, reproduction, or body measurements. The information you enter into these tools:
- Is processed in your browser, not on our servers
- Is not linked to your identity
- Is not stored or transmitted in identifiable form
The output of these calculators is for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical, financial, legal, fitness, or other professional advice. Always consult a qualified professional before making decisions about your health, finances, or any other significant matter.
If you do not wish to use a particular calculator, you can simply leave that page.
11. International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers (notably Google) operate globally and may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including in the United States.
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA/UK, such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards under GDPR Chapter V, including:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission
- EU-US Data Privacy Framework certification (where applicable to the recipient)
- Adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission, where relevant
- Additional technical and organizational measures as needed
You can request a copy of the safeguards in place by contacting us.
12. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected:
- Contact inquiries: typically up to 24 months after the last communication, unless a longer period is needed to resolve the matter or required by law.
- Server logs: typically up to 14 months, unless needed longer for security or legal reasons.
- Analytics data: retained according to the retention settings configured in Google Analytics (typically up to 14 months).
- Advertising data: retained by Google and its partners according to their respective retention policies.
- Cookie consent records: retained as required to demonstrate compliance, typically up to 24 months.
When data is no longer needed, it is deleted, anonymized, or — if deletion is not technically feasible — securely stored and protected from further processing until deletion is possible.
