Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

QuickCal ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website ("the Service"). Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Personal Information

We do not collect any personal information. QuickCal is designed as a privacy-first application that operates entirely in your browser. We do not require registration, login, or any form of personal identification.

2.2 Usage Data

We collect limited, anonymous usage data through web analytics to improve our service. This includes:

• Page views and session duration
• Feature usage statistics (which calculators are used most frequently)
• General geographic location (country/region level only)
• Browser type and version
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• Referring website (if any)

Important: This data is completely anonymous and cannot be used to identify individual users.

2.3 Calculation Data

All calculations performed on QuickCal are processed locally in your browser. We do not store, transmit, or have access to any of your calculation inputs or results. This includes:

• Recipe ingredients and quantities
• Conversion values
• Scaling factors
• Any other data you input into our calculators

3. How We Use Information

The limited anonymous data we collect is used solely for:

• Understanding which features are most valuable to users
• Identifying technical issues and improving website performance
• Making informed decisions about future feature development
• Ensuring the website works properly across different devices and browsers

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer any information to third parties. The anonymous usage data we collect may be shared with:

• Analytics Providers: We use privacy-focused analytics tools that do not track individual users
• Hosting Providers: Our website is hosted on a third-party hosting service, which may collect standard server logs

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of information. However, since we collect minimal data and all calculations are performed locally, the security risk is inherently low.

Security measures include:

• HTTPS encryption for all website traffic
• Regular security updates and monitoring
• Minimal data collection to reduce exposure
• No storage of personal or sensitive information

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Current Implementation: Our current analytics setup does not use cookies. We use cookieless analytics to respect user privacy while still gathering necessary usage insights.

If we implement cookies in the future, we will:

• Update this privacy policy
• Provide clear notice to users
• Offer opt-out mechanisms where required by law
• Use only essential or analytics cookies, never advertising cookies

7. Third-Party Services

QuickCal may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

8. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal information from any users, this risk is minimal.

9. International Users

QuickCal is accessible worldwide. Your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in various locations depending on our hosting infrastructure. However, since we collect minimal anonymous data, this presents minimal privacy risk.

10. Your Rights

Since we do not collect personal information, traditional data rights (access, correction, deletion) are not applicable. However, you can:

• Use the service without providing any personal information
• Clear your browser data to remove any local storage
• Use browser privacy modes or ad blockers to limit analytics
• Refer to the website's contact information for privacy concerns when available

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by posting the new privacy policy on this page. We encourage you to review this privacy policy periodically.
