Privacy policy

Learn what is processed locally, what is saved only by explicit action, and how optional Netlify form submissions are handled.

Calculator inputs

Calculator math runs in your browser. Equipment Rate Calc does not receive calculator inputs. Selecting Save stores a limited number of scenarios in localStorage on that device. Resetting browser storage or using a private session may remove them.

Selecting Share places inputs in the URL hash. Hash values are normally not sent to the web server, but they are visible to anyone who receives the link and may be retained in browser history, screenshots, clipboard history, messaging tools, or other software. Do not include information you consider sensitive.

Downloaded quotes

Download Quote creates an HTML file locally in the browser from the visible inputs and results. The file is not uploaded to Equipment Rate Calc. You control where it is stored, copied, printed, or converted to PDF.

Contact form and email

The optional feedback form is processed by Netlify Forms. Submitted name, email, page, feedback type, message, technical request information, and Netlify's associated service data may be stored in the site's Netlify account. Direct email is processed by the email providers used by the sender and recipient.

Current advertising and analytics status

This release does not include analytics, advertising, affiliate tracking, payment processing, newsletters, or paid downloads. This policy must be updated and any required consent controls implemented before those services are enabled.

Security and retention

The site uses HTTPS, restrictive browser security headers, no third-party scripts, and no server-side calculator database. Feedback should be retained only as long as needed to respond, correct the site, and meet legitimate operational or legal requirements. Do not submit secrets or sensitive customer information.

Questions

Questions or deletion requests concerning feedback submitted to the site can be sent to utilitycalcs@gmail.com. The site owner may need enough information to locate the submission.

Browser storage and cookies

The theme preference and explicitly saved scenarios use localStorage. They are not authentication cookies and do not create an account. The current release does not intentionally set advertising or analytics cookies. Netlify may process standard request and security data when it delivers the site or processes the optional form under its own service terms.

Policy changes

This policy must be reviewed before analytics, advertising, affiliate links, email capture, payments, paid downloads, accounts, or cloud-saved scenarios are introduced. A material change should identify the new data, purpose, provider, retention, controls, and effective date before that feature is enabled.
