Privacy Policy

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how squarefootage.cc handles information when you visit our pages or contact us. Our calculators work in your browser without an account. This policy distinguishes information used to deliver the website from the measurements you enter into a calculator.

We use technical information to operate and protect the service and information you send us to respond to your message. Where applicable, we rely on legitimate interests for these purposes, consent where required for optional technologies, and legal obligations where information must be retained.

Information We Collect

All calculations run locally in your browser. The dimensions, areas, pitches, and other numbers you enter are not uploaded to our servers or saved by this website. We do not maintain a database of calculator inputs or results.

For ordinary browsing, the site's technical records are standard server and request logs generated by our hosting provider, Cloudflare. These can include your IP address, browser type, requested page, and timestamp. Cloudflare processes this information to deliver pages, maintain reliability, and help detect abuse. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy for its handling of service data.

If you email us, we receive your email address and the contents of your message, including any information you choose to attach. We use those details to address your enquiry. Please do not send passwords, payment details, or other sensitive information.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The site's own code does not set cookies or use browser storage to save your calculator inputs. Cloudflare serves as our hosting provider and processes standard server logs; it is not configured to set cookies for this site. Third parties, particularly advertising providers, may use cookies or similar technologies.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. These settings may affect third-party services and may need to be adjusted separately on each browser or device. Where required, optional advertising technologies should only operate after the applicable consent choice.

Advertising and Google AdSense

This site may display advertising served by Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks.

Google and other third-party vendors may set cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie and other advertising cookies associated with doubleclick.net. These technologies can personalize ads using information about your earlier visits to this website or other websites. Google's advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to deliver advertising informed by those visits.

You can opt out of personalized Google advertising through Google Ads Settings. You can also visit www.aboutads.info to learn about participating third-party vendors and opt out of their use of cookies for interest-based advertising. These choices do not necessarily remove all ads, and browser or device changes may require you to make your choices again.

For more information, read how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services. We will update this policy when advertising practices change.

Analytics

We do not use third-party analytics that track you across other websites.

We do not use Google Analytics or any other third-party analytics tool. Cloudflare processes standard server logs as our hosting provider. These logs do not contain the measurement values entered into our calculators.

Third-Party Links

Our pages link to external references, manufacturers, and other services. Following an external link takes you to a site with its own privacy practices. We do not control what that site collects or how it uses information. Review its policy before providing personal details.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us personal information, contact us so we can investigate and delete information under our control where appropriate.

Your Privacy Rights

Your rights depend on where you live and which laws apply. Under the GDPR or UK GDPR, you may be entitled to access your personal data, correct inaccuracies, request deletion, restrict processing, object to processing, and obtain portable copies of eligible data. You may withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing and complain to the relevant data protection authority.

Where the CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, applies, California residents may request information about data collected and disclosed, access a copy, request deletion or correction, and opt out of selling or sharing personal information. Applicable rights also include limiting certain uses of sensitive information and receiving equal treatment when exercising privacy rights.

We do not sell your personal information. Personalized advertising may involve disclosures that qualify as sharing under some privacy laws. You may exercise applicable opt-out rights through the advertising choices described above and by contacting us.

Send requests to [email protected]. Explain your request and its context; we may need proportionate information to verify your identity or an authorized agent's authority. We will respond within the period required by applicable law, subject to its exceptions. Calculator inputs are not held by us, so we cannot retrieve a history of your calculations.

Data Retention and Security

We do not retain calculator inputs. Correspondence is kept only as needed to answer the enquiry, resolve follow-up issues, protect the service, or meet applicable legal obligations. Cloudflare's technical log retention is governed by the service and settings used; we do not promise a specific retention period for records managed by the provider.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to this static website and the information we handle. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure. Please keep unnecessary personal details out of enquiries.

International Visitors

Our hosting and communication providers may process information in countries other than your own. Those countries may have different privacy laws. Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, those transfers must use an appropriate legal mechanism, such as approved contractual safeguards. Cloudflare describes its international processing in its privacy documentation.

Changes to This Policy

We may revise this policy when our services, providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top identifies the latest version. Material changes will be communicated through an appropriate notice on this site, and additional consent will be requested where required.
