This Privacy Policy explains what information this website collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
Information We Collect
Information you provide directly. If you contact us through the contact form, we receive your name, email address and the contents of your message. We use this information solely to read and reply to your message, and we do not sell it or share it with third parties for marketing.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed and the time of your visit. This data is used for security, troubleshooting and understanding overall usage patterns. It is not used to identify you personally.
Calculator inputs. The calculators on this website run entirely in your browser. Any numbers you enter are processed on your own device and are never sent to our servers or stored by us.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. This website uses cookies for the following purposes:
Essential and functional cookies. WordPress may set cookies that are necessary for the website to work (for example, to remember your preferences or to protect forms against spam). These do not track you across other websites.
Advertising cookies. We may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and other advertising partners. Google and its partners use cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website and other websites on the internet. This is known as personalised (interest-based) advertising.
To learn how Google uses data when you visit partner websites, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. You may opt out of personalised advertising at any time through Google’s My Ad Center. You can also opt out of many third-party vendors’ cookies for personalised advertising via the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page (US) or Your Online Choices (EU). You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings; please note that blocking cookies may affect how some parts of the website function.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand which pages are useful and how visitors interact with the website. Analytics data is aggregated and statistical — it does not identify you personally.
How We Use Information
We use the limited information we hold to: operate and secure the website; respond to messages you send us; improve our content and tools; and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to anyone.
Data Sharing
We share personal information only where necessary: with our hosting provider (to operate the website), with email delivery services (to receive your contact-form messages), and with advertising partners as described in the Cookies section above. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the security of the website.
Data Retention
Contact-form messages are kept only for as long as needed to handle your enquiry, and are then deleted. Technical log data is retained for a limited period for security purposes and then removed or anonymised.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to: request a copy of the personal information we hold about you; ask us to correct inaccurate information; ask us to delete information you provided (such as a contact-form message); and object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the contact page and we will respond as promptly as we can.
If you are in the United Kingdom and you are not satisfied with how we handle your request, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk.
Children’s Privacy
This website is not directed at children under 13 (or the 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 and we will delete it.
External Links
This website contains links to external websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those websites; we encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing them with any information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time — for example, if we add new features or advertising partners. The latest version will always be published on this page, and significant changes will be noted here with an updated date.
