Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how BuildCalc ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit buildcalcu.com and its calculator subdomains (collectively, the "Site").
Information We Do Not Collect
BuildCalc does not require user accounts or registration. Our calculators run entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript — we do not receive, store, or transmit the measurements or project data you enter into any calculator.
We do not knowingly collect personal information such as names, addresses, or payment details through our calculator tools.
Information We May Collect Automatically
When you visit the Site, certain information may be collected automatically by third-party services we use, including:
- IP address (anonymized where possible)
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on pages
- Referring website or search query
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Site, serve advertisements, and analyze traffic. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.
Google AdSense and Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies — including the DART cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites on the Internet.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
Opting out: You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Third-Party Vendors
Third-party ad vendors and affiliate partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your activities on this and other websites to provide targeted advertising. We do not control these third parties' data practices. Please review their respective privacy policies.
Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics collects information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Affiliate Links
Some pages may contain affiliate links to third-party services (such as contractor quote platforms). These partners may collect information if you click through and interact with their services. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
GDPR Notice (UK & EU Visitors)
If you are located in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, you have certain rights under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR, including:
- The right to access personal data we hold about you
- The right to request correction or deletion of your data
- The right to restrict or object to processing
- The right to data portability
- The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Our legal basis for processing data collected via cookies and analytics is legitimate interest (operating and improving the Site) and consent (where required for non-essential cookies). Because we do not operate user accounts, the personal data we process is typically limited to anonymized analytics and advertising identifiers.
To exercise your rights or request information about data processing, contact us using the details below.
Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
