Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how YardsToTonsCalculator.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you use our website and yards-to-tons conversion tools.
What we collect
- Usage data: basic, aggregated metrics (e.g., page views, device type, approximate location/region, referral source) to help improve speed, UX, and content.
- Server logs: standard web logs (IP address, user-agent, timestamps, requested pages) used for security, rate-limiting, and reliability.
- Messages you send: if you contact us through the contact page, we receive the info you submit (like name/email/message).
What we do not collect by default
- No account is required to use the calculator.
- No payment information (we don’t sell materials or process orders).
- We do not intentionally collect sensitive identifiers (government IDs, financial account numbers, etc.).
- Calculator inputs: in typical use, your values (yards, material selection, density) are processed in your browser and are not sent to us unless you explicitly submit them (for example, in a support message).
How we use information
- Provide, maintain, and improve the site and calculator experience
- Measure performance (e.g., page speed, UX issues) and prevent abuse
- Respond to messages you send
Legal bases (EEA/UK)
- Legitimate interests for basic analytics, security, and service improvement
- Consent where required (e.g., optional cookies/analytics)
Cookies & analytics
We may use cookies or similar technologies for essential functionality and basic measurement. If we use non-essential analytics or advertising cookies in the future, we will provide notice and choices where required by law.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with trusted service providers that help run the site (e.g., hosting, security, analytics), under confidentiality and data-protection obligations. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or integrity of the Service.
Retention
Contact messages are kept as long as needed to respond and maintain records. Logs and analytics are retained for a limited period consistent with security and operations.
Your choices & rights
- You can use the calculator without creating an account.
- If you contact us, you can ask us to delete your message history (where legally and operationally possible).
- If you’re in the EEA/UK, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. To exercise rights, contact us via the contact page.
- California residents may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA. You can reach out to make a request.
Data security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No internet service is 100% secure, but we work to keep risk low and limit collection by default.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13 (or the age required by local law). If you believe a child provided personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. If changes are material, we’ll take reasonable steps to notify you (e.g., a site banner).
