Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how The Gravel Calculator ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website at thegravelcalculator.com (the "Service").

Information We Collect

Information you provide directly. If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry.

Calculator data. The dimensions, material selections, and cost inputs you enter into the calculator are processed entirely in your browser. We do not store, transmit, or have access to your calculation data.

Automatic information. Like most websites, our hosting provider may collect standard log data including IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is used for service operation and security, and is not linked to individual users.

Cookies and Local Storage

We use a single local storage item to remember your theme preference (light or dark mode). No tracking cookies are used. No third-party advertising cookies are placed on your device.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to messages submitted through the contact form
• Operate, maintain, and improve the Service
• Monitor and analyze usage trends to improve user experience
• Detect and prevent security threats or abuse

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information with service providers who assist in operating the Service (such as our hosting provider), and as required by law.

Third-Party Services

We use Google Fonts for typography. Google may collect standard usage data when fonts are loaded. We do not use Google Analytics or other tracking services. Our hosting provider may collect standard server logs as described above.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information collected through the Service. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
