3. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

Client-Side Processing: All calculations run locally in your browser - your data never leaves your device

HTTPS Encryption: All data transmission uses TLS 1.3 encryption with strong cipher suites

Security Headers: Strict Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and other protective headers

Regular Audits: Periodic security reviews, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing

Access Controls: Strict access controls and authentication for any administrative functions

No Data Storage: We don't store calculation inputs or results on our servers

4. Cookies & Local Storage

We use cookies and local storage minimally and transparently:

Essential Cookies: Required for basic functionality (theme preference, accessibility settings)

Analytics Cookies: Anonymous usage statistics via Google Analytics (can be disabled)

Local Storage: Calculator history and favorites stored only in your browser

No Advertising Cookies: We do not use any advertising or remarketing cookies

5. Third-Party Services

We use select third-party services to operate our website:

Google Analytics: For anonymous usage statistics (privacy-focused configuration with IP anonymization)

Vercel: Our hosting provider for content delivery and edge functions

Cloudflare: CDN services for faster content delivery and DDoS protection

These providers are bound by their own privacy policies and data processing agreements. We've configured all services to minimize data collection and maximize user privacy.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have specific privacy rights:

Right to Access: Request information about data we hold (note: we collect minimal data)

Right to Opt-Out: Disable analytics cookies through browser settings or our privacy controls

Since we don't collect personal data, most data rights are automatically fulfilled. For any requests, contact us via our contact page.

7. GDPR & CCPA Compliance

We are committed to compliance with major privacy regulations:

GDPR (European Union): We minimize data collection, provide transparency, and respect user rights under GDPR

CCPA (California): California residents have the right to know, delete, and opt-out. We do not sell personal information

LGPD (Brazil): We follow data minimization principles aligned with LGPD requirements

Our privacy-by-design approach means we collect so little data that compliance is built-in rather than retrofitted.

Server Logs: Technical logs are retained for 30 days for security purposes, then purged

Local Storage: Data stored in your browser remains until you clear it or uninstall
