Summary: We don't make you create an account, we don't sell your personal information, and the calculators run entirely in your browser — the numbers you type aren't sent to us.
What we collect
- Calculator inputs: none leave your device. Sizes, materials, and selections are processed locally in your browser to compute an estimate. We never receive or store them.
- Basic analytics: when enabled, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic — pages viewed, approximate region, device type, and how visitors navigate. This is standard, privacy-respecting web analytics, and it is disabled on local development.
- Contact email: if you email us, we keep your message and address to reply and to track corrections. We don't add you to any list.
Cookies
We use only the cookies needed for analytics (when enabled). We do not use cross-site advertising trackers in this version of the site. If we add display advertising in the future, we will update this policy and provide an appropriate consent mechanism where required.
Third parties
Analytics, if enabled, is provided by Google (see Google's privacy policy for how it processes data). We do not share your information with data brokers and we do not sell personal information.
Your choices
You can block cookies or use your browser's "Do Not Track" / privacy controls, and analytics opt-out browser add-ons work here. You may email us to ask what, if anything, we hold about you and to request deletion.
Children
This site is intended for adults planning home projects and is not directed at children under 13.
