Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to CryptoCalcs (thecryptocalculators.com). CryptoCalcs is a free online suite of cryptocurrency calculators designed to help traders and investors make informed decisions. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.

2. Information We Collect

CryptoCalcs is designed with privacy in mind. All calculator computations are performed entirely on your device (client-side). We do not collect, store, or transmit any of the values you enter into our calculators. Your trading parameters, position sizes, and calculation results remain exclusively on your browser and are never sent to our servers.

However, we do collect certain information automatically when you visit our website:

Automatically Collected Information

Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique users and sessions. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.
Advertising Data: Google AdSense may collect information about your browsing behavior to serve personalized advertisements. This may include data about your visits to our site and other websites, which Google uses to provide ads that are relevant to your interests. This is governed by Google's own privacy policy.
