Privacy Policy

BuildCalc ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website buildcalczone.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, and your choices regarding that information. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information we collect

The Site itself does not collect or store any personally identifiable information. All calculator inputs you enter are processed entirely in your browser and are never sent to our servers.

However, we use third-party services that may collect certain information automatically when you visit the Site:

• Usage data — pages visited, time spent on each page, referring URL, browser type, device type, and approximate geographic location (country/city level). This data is collected in aggregate and cannot be used to identify individual users.
• Cookies and similar technologies — small text files stored in your browser by Google Analytics and Google AdSense for analytics and advertising purposes.

2. How we use the information

The information collected via third-party services is used to:

• Understand how visitors use the Site and which pages are most useful
• Improve the content and performance of the Site
• Display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense

We do not sell, rent, or share any user data with third parties beyond what is described in this policy.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymized usage statistics. Google Analytics places cookies in your browser to identify unique visits and track behavior across sessions. The data collected is anonymized — IP addresses are truncated before storage and individual users cannot be identified.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

For more information on how Google uses data collected via Analytics, visit Google's Privacy Policy.

4. Google AdSense and advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. The use of advertising cookies allows Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

5. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We do not set any first-party cookies directly. The cookies on this Site are set solely by Google Analytics and Google AdSense for the purposes described above.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the Site or the ads you see.

6. Third-party links

The Site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

7. Children's privacy

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Site, please contact us so we can remove it.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
