Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2, 2026

This site is run by one person, not a company with a data team, so the short version is easy to state plainly: the calculators don't ask for an account, don't store what you type, and don't track your steps over time. The rest of this page covers the details, including the one place third-party cookies are involved, advertising.

Step counts, height, weight, and pace settings you type into any calculator on this site are processed entirely in your browser to produce a result. None of it is sent to a server, saved to a database, or linked to you in any way. Close the tab, and it's gone. There's no account system to opt into, so there's nothing tied to an email address or login either.

Like effectively every website, the hosting infrastructure this site runs on automatically logs standard technical information for each request, things like IP address, browser user agent, the page requested, and a timestamp. This is infrastructure-level logging used for security and reliability (catching outages, abuse, and errors), not something this site's code reads, stores long-term, or uses to build a profile of visitors.

This site is free to use and stays that way by showing ads through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technology to serve ads based on your visits here and to other sites, and to measure ad performance. This site doesn't control that data or have access to it, it's handled entirely by Google under their own privacy terms.

You can see what Google collects for ad personalization, and opt out of personalized ads entirely, at Google's Ad Settings page, or learn more generally at How Google Uses Information from Sites or Apps That Use Our Services. Most browsers also let you block third-party cookies directly in their settings if you'd rather not rely on an opt-out page.

There's no first-party analytics script installed on this site, no Google Analytics, no heatmaps, no session recording. Any aggregate traffic numbers come from the hosting provider's own infrastructure-level metrics, not from anything embedded in the pages themselves.

This site doesn't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age, for the reasons above, there's simply no data collection built into the calculators themselves. It isn't directed at children, and the advertising served through Google AdSense is subject to Google's own policies on child-directed content.

If anything about how this site handles data changes, this page will be updated and the date at the top will reflect it. Since this is a one-person project rather than a company, there's no separate legal notice process, this page is the source of truth.
