2. Data We Collect (And Don't Collect)

2.1 Calculator Data

When you use our Carbon Footprint Calculator, the data you enter (electricity usage, mileage, diet, etc.) is processed locally on your device using JavaScript. We do not store your personal calculator inputs on our servers. Your results are generated instantly in your browser and are not permanently saved by us.

2.2 Automatically Collected Data

Like most websites, we collect standard non-personal information to keep the site running smoothly. This may include:

• Browser type and operating system.
• IP address (anonymized where possible).
• General geographic location (Country/City level).
• Time spent on pages and click data.

2.3 Voluntary Information

If you choose to contact us via email, we will collect your name and email address solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. Your information remains private and is never sold to outside entities.

3. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies stored on your device to ensure a smoother and more personalized experience. These may include:

• Functional Cookies: Essential for the website to work correctly.
• Analytics Cookies: We may use tools like Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use our site. This data is aggregated and does not identify individuals.
• Advertising Cookies: We partner with Google AdSense to display ads and personalized content using cookies that analyze your interests and visits across websites.

You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect some site functionality.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party services to operate our project. These providers have their own privacy policies:

• Hosting: Our site is hosted on secure servers which may log basic access data for security purposes.
• Advertising: Google AdSense is used to support this free tool.
• Analytics: Google Analytics helps us improve our content.

5. Data Security

We implement standard industry security measures to protect the integrity of our website. Since we do not store sensitive personal data (like passwords or credit card numbers), the risk to your personal data is minimal. However, no transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
