Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

Our shipping cost calculator runs entirely in your browser. When you enter package details (weight, dimensions, courier selection), that data is processed locally on your device. It is never transmitted to our servers and is never stored.

2. Information We May Collect

We may collect limited technical data for analytics and site improvement:

• Browser type and version
• Device type (mobile, tablet, desktop)
• Country of access (from IP address)
• Pages visited and time on site
• Referring website (if any)

This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.

3. Cookies

We may use basic analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand site usage. You can disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting calculator functionality.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use:

• Google Analytics — for understanding site traffic (Google’s privacy policy applies)
• Cloudflare — for security and CDN (Cloudflare’s privacy policy applies)

We do not sell your data to any third party.

5. Email Communication

If you email us, we retain the message and your email address for the purpose of responding. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

6. Data Security

We use HTTPS encryption on all pages. Our site is static, meaning there is no database to breach. This is a security advantage of our architecture.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (GDPR in the EU, CCPA in California), you may have the right to:

• Access any personal data we hold about you
• Request deletion of your data
• Opt out of analytics tracking

To exercise these rights, email contact@shipcostcalculator.com.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. The “last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent change. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
