Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 14, 2026

1. Who We Are

Calorie Cal (caloriecal.io) is a free nutrition calculator website. For privacy questions, contact us at hello@caloriecal.io.

2. Calculator Data (Your Inputs)

Our calorie, macro, and food calculators run primarily in your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit your calculator inputs (weight, height, age, goals, saved profiles, or weight logs) to our servers.

• No account or sign-up is required.
• Saved profiles and progress logs are stored only in your browser's localStorage until you clear them.

3. Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site (pages viewed, general traffic, device/browser type). This helps us improve the calculator and content.

• Measurement ID: G-6MS73J9C6Q
• Google may process page URLs, approximate location (from IP), and technical data as described in Google's Privacy Policy.
• We do not send your calculator inputs (weight, height, logs) to Google Analytics — those stay in your browser only.
• You can opt out via browser extensions, Google's Analytics Opt-out Add-on, or ad/analytics blocking in your browser settings.

4. Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

• Publisher ID: ca-pub-3756227157242922
• Ad serving may involve device identifiers, IP address (for fraud prevention), and browsing data as described in Google's Privacy Policy.
• You can manage ad personalization at Google Ads Settings or via aboutads.info.

5. Cookies

We and our advertising partners may place cookies or use similar storage in your browser for:

• Measuring site traffic and usage (Google Analytics)
• Displaying and measuring advertisements
• Remembering your theme preference (light/dark mode) in localStorage
• Storing calculator profiles and logs locally in your browser

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking advertising cookies may reduce ad relevance but will not break the calculator.

6. Third-Party Services

• Google Analytics — site analytics (see Section 3).
• Google AdSense — advertising (see Section 4).
• Google Fonts — typography (may receive your IP address when fonts load).
• Donations — optional payments via PayPal, UPI, or Interac are handled entirely by those providers. We do not store payment details. See our Donate page.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal calculator data because we do not receive it on our servers. Advertising partners (Google) may process data as described in their own policies when you view pages with ads.

8. Your Choices

• Clear localStorage to delete saved calculator data.
• Use private/incognito mode for temporary sessions.
• Adjust ad personalization via Google's tools linked above.
• Contact us to ask questions about this policy.

9. Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services or legal requirements change. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the latest version.
