Privacy Policy

How CalorieCalc.fit handles calculator inputs, cookies, analytics, advertising, and privacy rights for visitors in the EU, UK, California, and other regions.

Overview

CalorieCalc.fit provides browser-based calorie, BMR, TDEE, BMI, macro, and goal-planning calculators. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how cookies and advertising technologies work, and how visitors in the European Union, United Kingdom, California, and other regions can exercise privacy rights.

CalorieCalc.fit is the controller of the information described in this Privacy Policy, except where a third-party service acts as an independent controller under its own privacy terms.

Key point: calculator inputs and results are processed in your browser. We do not save your specific calculator inputs or calculation results to our servers, and we do not intentionally send those values to analytics or advertising tools.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Calculator Inputs

Our calculators may ask you to enter or select information so results can be calculated locally in your browser, including:

Age
Sex
Height
Weight
Activity level
Goal type, such as weight loss, maintenance, or weight gain
Goal weight and goal date
BMR formula preference
Body fat percentage
Macronutrient ratios

These inputs are used to estimate calories, BMR, TDEE, BMI, macronutrients, and goal progress. Because the calculations run in your browser, we do not maintain individual calculator records tied to you.

1.2 Usage Data and Log Data

When you visit the website, we or our hosting providers may automatically collect technical information, such as:

IP address
Browser type and version
Device type
Operating system
Pages visited
Date and time of access
Referring pages and basic usage statistics
Approximate location inferred from IP address, where available

We use this data to operate the website, measure traffic, improve performance, detect abuse, and troubleshoot technical issues.

1.3 Cookies, Local Storage, and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, browser storage, pixels, scripts, or similar technologies. These technologies may support basic site operation, remember limited preferences, measure usage, understand page interactions, and support advertising.

Necessary

Used for security, basic site delivery, load balancing, and functionality requested by you. These are generally not optional.

Preferences

Used to remember limited choices, such as calculator or display preferences, if implemented.

Analytics

Used to understand aggregate traffic, product usage, page performance, and technical issues.

Experience

Used to understand page interactions, layout issues, and usability problems, for example through Microsoft Clarity if configured.

Advertising

Used to display ads, measure ads, limit repeated ads, and support personalized or contextual advertising, for example through Google AdSense if configured.

1.4 Analytics and Advertising Services

Depending on the website configuration, we may use:

Google Analytics, to measure page visits and aggregate usage trends
Microsoft Clarity, to understand page interactions, experience issues, and performance
Google AdSense, to display and measure advertisements

These services may collect device information, browser information, online identifiers, page URLs, referrers, interaction data, and advertising-related information through cookies or similar technologies. We do not intentionally send your specific calculator input values or calculation results to these services.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized Google ads through Google Ads Settings.

1.5 Blog and Content Data

Blog content may be loaded from a site database. That database is used to manage public content and is not used to store your calculator inputs or calculation results.

2. Cookie Consent and Privacy Choices

2.1 EU and UK Cookie Consent

For visitors in the EU and UK, non-essential analytics, experience, and advertising cookies should be used only with consent where required by applicable law. Necessary cookies may be used without consent when they are essential to provide a service you request or to keep the website secure.

Where a cookie banner or preference tool is available, you can accept, reject, or change non-essential cookie choices through that tool. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you contact us about cookie choices, we will explain the options available for your browser and region.

2.2 California Do Not Sell or Share

We do not sell personal information for money. However, some advertising or analytics technologies may be considered a sale or sharing of personal information under California privacy law when they are used for cross-context behavioral advertising.

California residents may opt out of sale or sharing by emailing support@caloriecalc.fit with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share". You do not need to create an account to submit this request. We will process opt-out requests as required by applicable law.

You may also use a browser or extension that sends a Global Privacy Control signal. Where legally required and technically feasible, we treat Global Privacy Control as an opt-out request for that browser or device.

2.3 Other Advertising Opt-Outs

You may also use industry tools such as the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page and your browser's privacy settings. These tools may be browser-specific or device-specific.

3. How We Use Information

We collect or process information to:

Provide, maintain, and improve CalorieCalc.fit
Run calculator features in your browser
Analyze page traffic and feature usage
Find and fix errors, performance issues, and compatibility problems
Prevent abuse, fraud, and security risks
Display and measure advertising content
Improve content quality, page structure, and user experience
Respond to privacy, support, or correction requests

4. Legal Bases for EU and UK Visitors

If EU or UK data protection law applies, we rely on the following legal bases depending on the context:

Consent

For non-essential cookies, personalized advertising, and similar technologies where consent is required.

Legitimate interests

For basic analytics, security, abuse prevention, site improvement, and responding to ordinary requests, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.

Legal obligation

Where we need to keep or disclose information to comply with applicable law or lawful requests.

Your request

Where processing is necessary to provide a feature you request, such as running a calculator in your browser or responding to your message.

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information for money.

We may share or disclose limited information in the following situations:

With service providers that help operate the website, such as hosting, analytics, advertising, database, security, and infrastructure providers
With third-party advertising or analytics partners, subject to your choices and applicable law
To comply with laws, regulations, court orders, or lawful government requests
To protect the rights, property, and safety of CalorieCalc.fit, our users, or the public
As part of a merger, transfer, reorganization, or similar change involving website ownership, business structure, or assets

6. Data Retention

Calculator inputs and results are not saved by us to our servers.

Logs, analytics data, advertising data, and support messages are retained only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required by law, security needs, dispute handling, or service provider settings.

Retention periods for third-party services may depend on the settings and policies of the relevant provider.

7. International Transfers

We may use service providers located in countries other than your own. If EU or UK data protection law applies, information may be transferred outside the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as contractual protections, adequacy decisions, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

8. EU and UK Data Subject Rights

If EU or UK data protection law applies, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection to processing, and withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent.

You may submit a request by emailing support@caloriecalc.fit with the subject line "Privacy Request". Please describe the right you want to exercise and the information involved. Because this website does not maintain user accounts and does not store calculator inputs, we may have limited ability to identify data connected to you.

We may ask for information needed to verify your identity or process your request. We will use verification information only for that purpose. We aim to respond within one month where required, unless the request is complex or applicable law allows more time.

You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority. UK visitors may contact the Information Commissioner's Office. EU visitors may contact the supervisory authority in their country of residence, work, or where they believe a privacy issue occurred.

11. Health and Medical Disclaimer

The calorie, BMR, TDEE, BMI, macronutrient, and goal-progress results provided by this website are general educational estimates only. They are not medical, nutrition, diagnostic, or treatment advice.

12. Security

We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect information, including access controls, encryption in transit, and service configuration reviews.

No method of Internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.

This website may contain links to third-party websites. We do not control third-party websites, their content, their privacy policies, or their data practices, and we are not responsible for their actions. We recommend reading the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.
