Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how WaisttoHipRatioCalculator ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you use our website, tools, and related content ("Service").

1) What the tool does (and why privacy matters)

Our calculator helps you estimate your waist-to-hip ratio and view general health risk indicators. You can use it without creating an account. We design the tool to be fast, privacy-conscious, and focused on local in-browser calculations wherever possible.

2) Information we collect

• Usage data (aggregated): basic metrics such as pages visited, approximate region, device type, browser, and referral URLs. This helps us understand performance, fix issues, and improve the experience.
• Server logs: standard web logs (IP address, user-agent, timestamps, requested URLs) used for security, debugging, and preventing abuse.
• Messages you send: if you contact us via the contact page, we receive the information you choose to submit (such as your name, email, and message).

Measurements & health-related inputs

When you type your waist and hip measurements into the calculator, those values are used to compute your ratio. Our implementation is designed so that:

• Inputs are processed for calculation purposes only.
• We do not create user accounts tied to these values.
• We do not sell measurement or health-related input data.

Note: If you share screenshots or details with us directly (e.g., via email or contact form), that information becomes part of your communication and is handled as contact data.

What we do not require by default

• No mandatory account registration to use the calculator.
• No payment card numbers or banking details.
• No government ID numbers.
• No direct upload of medical records.

3) How we use information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the calculator and site experience.
• To monitor, troubleshoot, and secure the Service (e.g., detect abuse or attacks).
• To respond to your messages, feedback, or support requests.
• To understand general usage patterns (not to profile individual visitors).

4) Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)

• Legitimate interests: for essential analytics, security, and Service improvement.
• Consent: for any non-essential cookies or tracking technologies, where required by law.

5) Retention

Contact messages are retained as long as reasonably necessary to respond and maintain records. Logs and analytics data are kept for a limited period aligned with security and operational needs.

6) Sharing & third parties

• We do not sell your personal information.
• We may use trusted third-party providers for hosting, security, caching, or analytics. These providers are expected to handle data only on our behalf and under appropriate safeguards.
• We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect our rights, users, or the integrity of the Service.

7) Cookies & analytics

If we use analytics or performance tools, we aim for privacy-conscious options and minimal data collection. Where legally required, we will display a notice or consent banner for non-essential cookies and provide a way to adjust your preferences.

8) Your rights & choices

• You can use the calculator without creating an account.
• Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., EEA/UK), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us via the contact page.
• California and other regional privacy laws may grant additional rights (such as access or deletion requests). You can reach out to submit a request; we will respond in line with applicable law.

9) Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect information transmitted to and through the Service. However, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure. Please avoid sending sensitive medical or personal information through unsecured channels.

10) Children’s privacy

This Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required by local law). If you believe a child has provided personal information through our contact channels, please contact us so we can review and, if appropriate, delete it.

11) Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may provide a prominent notice on the site. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Policy.
