1. Introduction

Welcome to Calc Mint (“we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected, used, and disclosed when you visit and interact with our website located at https://calcmint.online (the “Site”).

By accessing or using our Site and calculation utilities, you consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms outlined herein, please discontinue use of the Site.

2. Information We Do Not Collect (Calculator Input Privacy)

Unlike conventional cloud software, the core calculation engine of Calc Mint operates on client-side JavaScript architecture.

• Zero Numerical Recording: The figures, dimensions, interest rates, weight values, and personal inputs you type into our calculators (e.g., credit card balances, physical fitness scores, standard deviation arrays, or room dimensions) are processed locally by your browser.
• No Server Transmission: These computational inputs are never transmitted to our remote web servers, stored in our databases, or sold to data brokers. Once you refresh or close your browser tab, your calculation data vanishes from your device's active memory.

3. Information We Collect Automatically

When you access the Site, our web hosting servers and diagnostic analytics tools automatically log standard technical data transmitted by your browser:

4. Information You Voluntarily Provide

You are never required to register an account, create a profile, or submit billing details to use Calc Mint. The only personal information we collect is data you voluntarily send to us when:

• Sending an inquiry or bug report to our support email (contact@calcmint.online).
• Submitting a feedback or calculator suggestion form on our Contact Page.

Such information typically includes your name, email address, and message content. We use this data exclusively to respond to your inquiry and resolve technical issues.

We may partner with third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, to serve advertisements when you visit our Site.

We may utilize privacy-focused web analytics services (such as Google Analytics or lightweight server logs) to monitor site traffic. These services record non-identifying metrics such as country of origin, browser resolution, device type, and bounce rates. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized; it cannot be used to personally identify individual visitors.
