6. Data Retention

Aggregate visitor counts are stored in a database to display site statistics. This data contains no personally identifiable information — it consists only of a running total of page visits and a daily visit counter. Individual IP addresses used for deduplication are not stored permanently and are not linked to any personal profile.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Opt out of the sale of your personal information (we do not sell personal data)

Since we collect minimal personal information and do not store calculator inputs, most requests will be addressed by confirming that no personal data is retained.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
