Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices and rights you have.
Last updated: June 2026. This Privacy Policy describes how Calorie Calculator ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses and safeguards your information when you visit our website and use our free calorie calculator and related tools. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices. By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please discontinue use of our website.
We have designed our calorie calculator with privacy as a priority. The values you enter into the calculator itself — such as your age, gender, height, weight, activity level and fitness goal — are processed entirely within your own web browser to produce your results. We do not transmit these values to our servers, and we do not store them. Once you close or refresh the page, that information is gone. This means your personal health metrics remain on your device and under your control at all times.
There are, however, certain categories of information we may collect in the normal course of operating a website. The first is information you voluntarily provide, such as when you fill out our contact form. This may include your name, email address, the subject of your message, and the content of your message. We collect this information solely so that we can respond to your enquiry. The second is automatically collected technical information, which may include your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on pages, and referring website addresses. This information is collected through standard web technologies and analytics tools and helps us understand how our site is used so we can improve it.
We use the limited information we collect for a small number of clearly defined purposes. We use information you provide through the contact form to respond to your questions, address your concerns, and communicate with you about the matter you raised. We use automatically collected technical and usage information to operate, maintain and improve our website, to analyze traffic and usage patterns, to detect and prevent technical problems and abuse, and to ensure the security and proper functioning of our services. We may also use aggregated, anonymized data — which cannot be used to identify you — for statistical analysis and to understand broad trends in how our tools are used.
We want to be clear about what we do not do. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We do not use the health metrics you enter into the calculator for any purpose beyond generating your immediate results, because we never receive or store them in the first place. We do not add you to marketing email lists without your explicit consent.
Like most websites, we may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience and analyze how our site is used. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a website to remember your actions and preferences over time. We may use a few categories of cookies. Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our site by collecting and reporting information anonymously, allowing us to improve the way our website works. Preference cookies enable the website to remember choices you make, such as display settings, to provide a more personalized experience.
You have control over cookies. Most web browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies, to delete existing cookies, and to be notified when a new cookie is set. The method for doing this varies from browser to browser, and you should consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions. Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website and limit your ability to use some features. By continuing to use our site without adjusting your cookie settings, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
We may use trusted third-party services to help us operate and improve our website. These may include web analytics providers, which help us understand site traffic and usage patterns, and content delivery networks and font providers, which help our site load quickly and display correctly. These third parties may collect information sent by your browser as part of providing their services, such as your IP address and usage data, and their use of that information is governed by their own privacy policies. We select third-party providers carefully and only work with reputable companies that maintain appropriate data protection standards.
Our website may also contain links to external websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's 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. The inclusion of any link does not imply our endorsement of the linked site.
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. We respect these rights and aim to honor them promptly. These may include the right to access the personal information we hold about you; the right to rectification, allowing you to correct inaccurate or incomplete information; the right to erasure, sometimes called the right to be forgotten, allowing you to request deletion of your personal information; the right to restrict processing of your information in certain circumstances; the right to data portability, allowing you to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format; and the right to object to certain types of processing, including direct marketing.
Because we do not store the health metrics you enter into the calculator, those values are never retained for us to access, correct or delete. The personal information most likely to be subject to these rights is the contact information you provide when you message us. To exercise any of your rights, please contact us using the details on our contact page, and we will respond in accordance with applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests to protect your information from unauthorized access.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, your personal data is processed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Under the GDPR, we process personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so. The lawful bases we rely on include your consent, for example when you submit the contact form or accept non-essential cookies; our legitimate interests in operating, securing and improving our website, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms; and compliance with legal obligations where applicable. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time where consent is the basis for processing, and you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority if you believe your rights have been violated.
We are committed to the GDPR principles of data minimization and purpose limitation, which is why we deliberately collect as little personal information as possible and never store your calculator inputs. We retain the limited personal data we do collect only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, after which it is securely deleted or anonymized.
We take the security of your information seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect it against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include using secure connections (HTTPS) to encrypt data transmitted between your browser and our website, limiting access to personal information to those who need it to perform their duties, and regularly reviewing our practices to address emerging risks. The fact that calculator inputs never leave your browser is itself one of our strongest privacy protections, since data that is never collected cannot be breached.
Despite our best efforts, however, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is one hundred percent secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You also play an important role in keeping your information safe, for example by using a secure connection and keeping your own devices and software up to date.
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take appropriate steps to remove that information. We encourage parents and guardians to supervise their children's online activity and to help enforce this policy.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements or for other operational reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Significant changes may be communicated more prominently where appropriate. Your continued use of our website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
If you have any questions, concerns or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our handling of your personal information, please do not hesitate to reach out to us through our contact page or by emailing support@caloriecalculator.example. We are committed to resolving any privacy concerns you may have and will respond to your enquiry as promptly as possible. Your trust is important to us, and we are dedicated to being a responsible steward of any information you share with us.
