Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 19, 2025

Introduction

Welcome to Utiltica. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a safe, secure experience when using our free online calculators and tools. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our website.

The most important thing to know: We do NOT collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data or calculation inputs. All calculations are performed entirely in your web browser, and no information leaves your device. However, we do use Google Analytics for website analytics and Google AdSense for advertising, which may use cookies to collect anonymous usage data and serve personalized ads.

Data Collection

Utiltica operates on a strict no-data-collection policy. We want to be absolutely clear about what this means:

What We DO NOT Collect:

  • Personal information (names, email addresses, phone numbers)
  • Financial data or calculation inputs
  • IP addresses or location data
  • Browser fingerprints or device identifiers
  • Usage patterns or behavioral data
  • Login credentials (we don't require accounts)
  • Cookies for tracking purposes

When you use any calculator or tool on our website, all data you enter remains exclusively on your device. We have no servers collecting or storing your information, and we have no way to access the values you input into our calculators.

Client-Side Processing

All calculations and data processing on Utiltica happen entirely within your web browser. This is known as "client-side processing" and offers several important privacy benefits:

🔒 Complete Privacy

Your data never leaves your device. No information is transmitted to our servers or any third-party services.

⚡ Instant Results

Calculations happen immediately in your browser without network delays or server processing time.

🌐 Works Offline

Once the page loads, you can use our calculators even without an internet connection.

🛡️ No Data Breaches

Since we don't store your data, there's no risk of your information being compromised in a data breach.

Our website is built using pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. When you click "Calculate" on any tool, the JavaScript code running in your browser performs the computation and displays the results. No data is sent to any server during this process.

Cookies and Local Storage

Utiltica does not use cookies to track you or collect personal information. However, we want to be transparent about any browser storage we may use:

Essential Functionality

We may use browser local storage to remember your preferences, such as your selected language or theme settings. This information is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

No Tracking Cookies

We do not use cookies for advertising, analytics, or tracking purposes. We do not participate in cross-site tracking or behavioral advertising networks.

Managing Browser Storage

You can control and delete any local storage data through your browser's privacy settings. Clearing your browser data will remove any preferences we've stored, but will not affect your ability to use our tools.

Third-Party Services

While we don't collect your data, our website may load certain resources from third-party services to provide functionality, styling, analytics, and advertising:

TailwindCSS CDN

We use TailwindCSS via Content Delivery Network (CDN) to style our website. When you visit our site, your browser may load CSS files from the TailwindCSS CDN. This is a standard practice for web performance and does not involve data collection by us.

Note: The CDN provider may collect basic technical information like IP addresses for their own operational purposes. Please refer to their privacy policy for details.

Web Hosting

Our website is hosted on a static file hosting service. The hosting provider may collect standard server logs (IP addresses, browser types, access times) for security and operational purposes. This is standard practice for all websites and is outside our control.

Important: These logs do not contain any information about what you calculate or input into our tools, as that data never leaves your browser.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our site. This helps us improve our website and provide better tools.

Information Collected by Google Analytics:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • Geographic location (country/city level)
  • Referring website
  • Anonymous usage patterns

Important: Google Analytics does NOT collect any information about what you enter into our calculators. Your calculation inputs remain private and are never sent to Google or any analytics service.

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled, which means your full IP address is never stored by Google. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

For more information on how Google uses data, visit Google's Privacy Policy.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. These ads help us keep our calculators and tools free for everyone to use.

How AdSense Works:

  • Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet
  • Ads may be personalized based on your interests (interest-based advertising)
  • Third-party vendors may also use cookies to serve ads based on your browsing history

Important: Google AdSense does NOT have access to your calculator inputs or any financial data you enter into our tools. Ads are based on general browsing behavior, not on your specific calculations.

Your Choices:

  • You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings
  • You can opt out of third-party vendor cookies by visiting aboutads.info
  • European users can visit youronlinechoices.eu
  • You can use browser extensions like ad blockers to prevent ads from displaying

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Your Rights and Choices

Since we don't collect or store your personal data, there's no data for us to access, modify, or delete. However, you have complete control over your experience:

  • You can use our tools without creating an account or providing any personal information
  • You can clear your browser's local storage at any time to remove any saved preferences
  • You can use browser privacy features like incognito/private mode for additional privacy
  • You can disable JavaScript (though this will prevent our calculators from working)
  • You can use ad blockers and privacy extensions without affecting our tools' functionality

Children's Privacy

Our website is safe for users of all ages. Since we don't collect any personal information, we don't knowingly collect information from children under 13 (or any other age group). Parents and guardians can feel confident allowing children to use our educational calculators and tools.

Security

The security of your data is important to us, which is why we've designed our platform to never collect it in the first place. This "privacy by design" approach means:

  • There's no database of user information that could be hacked or breached
  • Your calculation inputs never travel over the internet
  • We don't store passwords or authentication credentials
  • All processing happens locally in your secure browser environment

We recommend using HTTPS (which most modern browsers enforce automatically) to ensure a secure connection when loading our website files.

International Users

Utiltica is available to users worldwide in multiple languages (English, Spanish, French, and German). Since we don't collect or transfer any personal data, international data transfer regulations (such as GDPR, CCPA, etc.) regarding personal data don't apply to your use of our tools. Your data stays on your device, regardless of where you're located.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. However, our core commitment to not collecting your personal data will remain unchanged.
