Privacy Policy | PPM Calculators

1. Introduction

Welcome to PPM Calculators ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it.

2. Our Core Principle: Zero Calculation Data Retention

We prioritize your privacy. All calculations performed on this website are processed entirely locally on your device (client-side). We do NOT transmit, store, or save any of the input values, formulas, or results of your calculations to our servers. Your calculation data never leaves your browser.

3. Information We Collect

While our core calculation service operates entirely client-side, we and our third-party partners automatically collect certain information when you visit our website:

Log Files: Like most websites, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit. This log data may include your IP address, browser type and version, pages of our site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics. This information is used for security, troubleshooting, and aggregate analytics. We do not link this data to any personally identifiable information.
Usage Data (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated statistics about how visitors interact with our website, such as page views, session duration, and traffic sources. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Functional Cookies & Local Storage:We use local storage to remember your theme preference (light/dark mode) and your cookie consent choice. These are strictly necessary for the site's functionality.
Advertising Cookies: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.

These third-party service providers have their own privacy policies governing how they use your information. We encourage you to review their policies.

6. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

We cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information.

Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from children without parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our systems.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access: You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
Right to Deletion: You may request that we delete your personal information. Note that because we collect minimal data and do not create user accounts, most data is held by our third-party providers (Google). To remove Google Analytics data, please use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
