Privacy at a Glance
We've designed our calculator with privacy as a core principle.
Local Calculations
All calculations are performed locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
No Data Storage
We don't store your calculation data, personal information, or usage patterns on our servers.
No Data Transmission
Your calculation inputs and results are not transmitted over the internet to our servers.
No Tracking
We don't use invasive tracking technologies or collect personal identifiers.
Information We Collect
Calculation Data
When you use our Standard Drink Calculator, all calculations are performed locally in your browser using JavaScript. We do not collect, store, or transmit any of your calculation inputs (such as alcohol volume, ABV percentages, or drink quantities) to our servers. This data remains entirely on your device.
Website Usage Information
We may collect basic, non-personal website usage information through standard web server logs, including:
- IP addresses (anonymized)
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Referring website
This information is used solely for website performance optimization and security purposes.
How We Use Information
Service Provision
Our primary purpose is to provide accurate standard drink calculations. Since all calculations are performed locally in your browser, we don't need to process your personal data to deliver this service.
Website Improvement
We may use anonymized usage statistics to understand how visitors interact with our website and to improve our services. This helps us identify popular features and optimize user experience.
Data Storage and Security
Local Storage
Your browser may temporarily store calculation preferences (such as preferred units or country standards) using local storage or cookies. This data remains on your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
No Server-Side Data Storage
We do not maintain databases of user calculations, personal profiles, or individual usage patterns. Our servers only deliver the calculator application to your browser.
Third-Party Services
Our website may use third-party services for:
- Website hosting and content delivery
- Basic analytics (with anonymized data)
- Security and performance monitoring
These services are carefully selected and configured to minimize data collection and respect user privacy.
Your Rights and Choices
Data Control
Since we don't collect or store personal data, there's no personal information for you to access, modify, or delete from our servers. All your calculation data remains under your control on your device.
Browser Settings
You can control local data storage through your browser settings:
- Clear cookies and local storage
- Disable JavaScript (though this will prevent the calculator from working)
- Use private/incognito browsing mode
Children's Privacy
Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
Contact Information
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please review our FAQ page or contact us through the methods provided on our website.
Privacy Commitment: We believe privacy is a fundamental right. Our calculator is designed to work entirely in your browser without sending your personal data to our servers. Your calculations and personal information remain private and under your control.
