Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to VehCalc. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share information when you visit and use our website and services.

We designed VehCalc to be used without creating an account or providing personal information. Most of our tools and calculators work entirely in your browser and do not send your input data to our servers. However, like most websites, we do collect some technical information automatically when you visit our site.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

You can use most features of VehCalc without providing any personal information. We do not require account creation or registration to use our calculators and tools. The only time we may receive personal information is when you:

• Contact us via email at support@vehcalc.com
• Submit feedback or suggestions through our contact form
• Subscribe to our newsletter (if offered)

When you contact us, we may collect your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide in your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and provide customer support.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit VehCalc, we and our third-party service providers may automatically collect certain technical information about your device and browsing activity. This information may include:

• Your IP address (may be anonymized)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system and device type
• Referring website or source
• Pages you visit on our site
• Time and date of your visit
• Approximate geographic location (country or city level)
• Pages you view and links you click on

We collect this information to understand how visitors use our website, to improve our services, to diagnose technical issues, and to ensure the security and proper functioning of our site.

Calculator Input Data

Our calculators are designed to run directly in your web browser. In most cases, the numbers and data you enter into our calculators never leave your device and are never sent to our servers. We do not store, collect, or transmit the numbers you input into our calculators.

Any calculation preferences you save (such as unit preferences) are stored locally on your device using browser storage mechanisms like localStorage, not on our servers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain our services: Ensuring our website and calculators function properly and are available to you.
• To improve our website: Understanding how visitors use our site helps us make better decisions about design, content, and features.
• To respond to your inquiries: If you contact us with questions or feedback, we use your information to respond.
• To ensure security: Protecting our website and users from fraud, abuse, and security threats.
• To comply with legal obligations: We may use or disclose your information as required by law or legal process.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website, analyze traffic, and understand how you interact with our site. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be turned off in our systems.

Third-Party Services

We work with third-party service providers who may collect information about your visits to our website. These services help us with analytics, advertising, and website functionality. Our third-party partners include:

Analytics Services

We use analytics services to understand how visitors use our website. These services may collect information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, such as cookies and your IP address. The information generated is used to evaluate your use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity.

Advertising Networks

We display advertisements on our website through third-party advertising networks. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. This is often called interest-based advertising.

If you would like more information about interest-based advertising and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) websites.

CDN and Hosting Services

We use content delivery networks (CDNs) and hosting providers to deliver our website content efficiently and reliably. These services may receive your IP address and other technical information when you access our website.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to safeguard the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Since we collect minimal personal information and our calculators run locally in your browser, the amount of sensitive data we store is very limited. Most of your calculator data never leaves your device.
