Calcdesk ("Calcdesk", "we", "us", or "our") operates the website calcdesk.online (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you when you use our free online calculators.
By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information we collect
Calcdesk's calculators run entirely in your browser. The numbers you enter into a calculator — such as a loan amount, your weight, or a date of birth — are processed locally on your device and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.
We do, however, collect limited information automatically through cookies and similar technologies, and through third-party services such as analytics and advertising providers. This may include:
- Your IP address and approximate location (country or region level)
- Browser type, device type, and operating system
- Pages visited, time spent on the Site, and referring website
- Cookie identifiers used by advertising and analytics providers
Cookies and advertising
We use cookies to operate the Site and to support advertising that helps keep our calculators free. When you first visit Calcdesk, you'll see a cookie banner asking for your consent to non-essential cookies, including advertising and analytics cookies. You can change your preferences at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Specifically:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's 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 visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Analytics
We use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Site, so we can improve our calculators and content. These services may set their own cookies and collect information about your device and browsing behavior. Analytics data is aggregated and does not directly identify you.
Your rights under GDPR and UK data protection law
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have certain rights regarding your personal data, including the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your personal data
- Object to or restrict certain processing of your data
- Withdraw consent for cookies at any time via "Cookie settings" in the footer
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority
Because most of the personal data processed in connection with this Site is collected by third-party advertising and analytics providers (such as Google) acting as independent controllers or processors, requests relating to that data may need to be directed to those providers directly, in addition to contacting us.
Your rights under CCPA (California residents)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to request deletion of that information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (which can include certain advertising cookie practices). You can exercise these choices using the cookie settings link in our footer or by contacting us using the details below.
Children's privacy
Calcdesk is not directed at children under 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Data retention
Cookie data set by advertising and analytics providers is retained according to those providers' own retention policies, which are typically described in their respective privacy policies. We do not maintain a separate database of visitor information beyond what is collected by these third-party services.
Third-party links
Our calculator pages may link to external resources, including affiliate or informational links. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
