Privacy Policy

Effective date: January 1, 2025

Welcome to RawCalculator.com (“we”, “our”, “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our free calculators and content. It also describes choices you can make about your data, including options required by Google AdSense and other applicable laws.

Quick Summary

  • We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, measure traffic, and serve ads.
  • We work with Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve personalized ads. You can opt out or manage preferences using Google’s tools listed below.
  • We collect minimal personal data—mostly device, log, and usage information. If you contact us, we process the information you provide in your message.
  • We never sell your personal information. In some regions, you can opt out of “sharing” or “targeted advertising.”

Information We Collect

1) Information you provide to us

  • Contact details (e.g., name, email) when you email us or submit a form.
  • Feedback & support requests you choose to send.

2) Information collected automatically

  • Device and usage data: IP address, browser type/version, device identifiers, language, time zone, pages visited, referral/exit pages, and timestamps.
  • Cookies & similar tech: small files to remember settings, analyze site usage, and deliver/measure ads. See “Cookies & Ads” below.
  • Log files: server logs for security and performance (e.g., error diagnostics, request metadata).

How We Use Information

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the website and calculators.
  • Provide content and features tailored to your device and preferences.
  • Measure site performance and understand audience engagement.
  • Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and technical issues.

Cookies, Analytics & Ads

We and our partners use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to run the site, analyze traffic, and deliver advertising. You can control cookies in your browser and through the choices listed below. Disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.

Google AdSense (required disclosures)

Google Analytics (if enabled)

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, time on site, etc.). Google provides a browser add-on to opt out of Analytics: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Your choices

  • Browser controls: block/clear cookies in your browser settings.
  • Ad personalization: manage at Google Ads Settings and AdChoices.
  • Consent (EEA/UK): where required, we show a consent banner to collect and store advertising cookies. You can change your choices at any time using the “Privacy” or “Cookie Settings” link in our footer (if available).

When the GDPR applies, we process your personal data on the following bases:

  • Consent: for storing or accessing information (e.g., advertising cookies) and for personalized ads where required.
  • Legitimate interests: operating and improving the site, preventing fraud, and measuring performance—balanced against your rights.
  • Legal obligations: complying with laws, tax, and regulatory requests.

How We Share Information

  • Service providers & partners: hosting, analytics, advertising networks (e.g., Google AdSense) who process data on our behalf or as independent controllers (per their policies).
  • Legal & safety: to comply with law, protect our rights, or respond to lawful requests.
  • Business transfers: if we engage in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your data may transfer as part of that transaction.

We do not sell your personal information. Where “sharing” or “targeted advertising” rules apply (e.g., CPRA in California), you may have a right to opt out—see “Your Rights.”

Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes in this Policy (e.g., to operate the site, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements). Analytics and ad cookies typically have their own retention periods defined by the provider.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International Transfers

Our service providers and partners may process information in countries other than yours. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) for transfers.

Children’s Privacy

Our site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or a higher age where applicable). If you believe a child provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

Your Privacy Rights

EEA/UK (GDPR)

Subject to eligibility and exceptions, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing; and the right to data portability and to withdraw consent at any time (without affecting prior lawful processing).

California (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents may have the right to know, access, correct, delete, and opt out of “sharing”/“targeted advertising.” We do not sell personal information. To exercise rights, contact us using the methods below.

Other regions

Your local laws may grant additional rights. We will honor valid requests as required by applicable law.

Third-Party Links

Our site may link to third-party websites or services we do not control. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review them.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is no common industry standard, our site may not respond to DNT. You can still use the opt-out tools provided above.
