Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This policy explains what information is and isn't collected when you use BuildCalcHub ("the site"), operated by BuildCalcHub Digital Tools. We've written it in plain English because we'd like you to actually read it.
The short version
- Your calculator inputs (dimensions, quantities, materials) are processed entirely in your browser and are never stored on or transmitted to our servers.
- We don't require accounts and don't collect names, emails, or personal profiles.
- Like most free websites, we show advertising. Our advertising partners use cookies to serve and measure ads, as described below, and you can opt out of personalization.
Calculator inputs
Every calculation on this site runs client-side, meaning the math happens on your own device using code already loaded in your browser. The project dimensions you type are not saved, logged, or sent anywhere by us. Close the tab and they're gone.
Information collected automatically
When you visit any website, your browser automatically shares technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and the pages you view. Our hosting provider processes this data to deliver the site and maintain security, and we may use aggregated, non-identifying statistics (such as which calculators are most used) to improve the site.
Advertising and cookies
BuildCalcHub is funded by advertising, which is what keeps the calculators free. We use Google AdSense to serve ads. As part of this:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' cookies at www.aboutads.info.
- For more detail on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see Google's partner sites policy.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings; the calculators themselves work fine with cookies disabled.
Children's privacy
The site is a general-audience utility and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, the EU/UK under GDPR or California under CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights regarding personal data such as access, deletion, and opting out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Because we don't maintain user accounts or store your inputs, the personal data involved in using this site is limited to the automatic technical data and advertising cookies described above. For any privacy request or question, contact us at BuildCalcHub@gmail.com.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the site handles data, we'll update this page and the date at the top. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
