California Calculator

Privacy Policy

Your calculator inputs never leave your browser. This page explains the limited usage data we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how California Calculator (californiacalc.com, “we,” “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit this website. It applies only to californiacalc.com and not to the government and third-party websites we link to.

California Calculator is an independent website operated by its owner. For any privacy question or request, contact us at procalculators@outlook.com.

Effective date: September 27, 2026

Information We Collect

Calculator inputs stay in your browser

Every calculator on this site runs entirely in your web browser. The numbers you enter — grades, test scores, weight, drinks, jackpot amounts, bills, trips, and times — are processed on your device and are never sent to our servers or stored by us.

Usage data collected by Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (such as _ga and _ga_<ID>) and collects information such as the pages you view, how long you stay, the page that referred you, your device type, browser, operating system, screen size, and your approximate location (city, region, and country) derived from your IP address. According to Google, Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses.

Preferences stored on your device

If you switch between light and dark mode, your choice is saved in your browser's local storage so the site remembers it. This value never leaves your device.

Information you send us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message.

Server logs

Our hosting provider automatically processes technical request data, such as IP address, browser user agent, and the time of the request, to deliver pages and protect the site against abuse.

How We Use Information

  • To operate, maintain, and secure the website.
  • To understand which calculators are useful and improve content and accuracy.
  • To respond to messages, correction reports, and feedback you send us.

How Information Is Shared

We do not sell or share personal information (as those terms are defined under California law), and we do not use advertising cookies. Information is disclosed only to the service providers that help us run the site:

  • Google (Google Analytics), which processes usage data under the Google Privacy Policy.
  • Our hosting and network providers, which process request data to deliver the site.

These providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Where required, they rely on recognized transfer safeguards, such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of the site and its users.

Cookies & Your Choices

This site uses only the following cookies and browser storage:

  • _ga and _ga_<ID> (Google Analytics): distinguish visitors and sessions for usage statistics; expire after 2 years.
  • theme (local storage): remembers your light or dark mode choice; stays on your device until you clear it.

Your choices:

  • You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the calculators keep working without them.
  • You can opt out of Google Analytics on all websites with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • You can clear the saved theme preference by clearing this site's data in your browser.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is no common industry standard for responding to these signals, and this site does not currently change its behavior when it receives one. You can still use the choices above to limit analytics.

Data Retention & Security

Google Analytics keeps event-level data for the retention period configured in our Analytics property, after which it is deleted. Emails are kept only as long as needed to respond and keep a record of corrections. We use HTTPS for every page, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. High school students may use our GPA and graduation tools; those calculators do not collect or store any of the information entered. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Your Privacy Rights

Because calculator inputs are never collected, the only personal information we may hold is analytics data and any emails you send us. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete that information, or to object to its use. To make a request, email procalculators@outlook.com. We will respond within the time required by applicable law and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

California residents

The California Consumer Privacy Act gives California residents rights to know, delete, and correct personal information and to opt out of its sale or sharing, where the law applies. We do not sell or share personal information. Under California's “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code § 1798.83), you may ask whether we disclose personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not.

Visitors in the European Economic Area and United Kingdom

We process analytics data on the basis of our legitimate interest in understanding and improving the site, and we process emails you send us to respond to them. You may access, correct, erase, or restrict this data, object to its processing, and lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the site or the law changes. The effective date above shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be reflected on this page before they take effect.
