🔒 Privacy Policy

1 What Information We Collect

We collect minimal, non-personal information automatically when you visit our website:

• Browser type and version (via server logs)
• Device type (mobile, tablet, desktop)
• Country or general region (not precise location)
• Pages visited and time spent (via Google Analytics, if enabled)
• Referring website (where you came from)

This data is aggregated and anonymous. We cannot identify you personally from this information.

2 How We Use Your Information

The limited data we collect is used only to:

• Understand which tools are most useful to visitors
• Improve website performance and load times
• Fix bugs and technical issues
• Serve contextually relevant advertisements (via Google AdSense)

We do not sell, rent, or share your information with any third party for marketing purposes.

3 Cookies & Local Storage

We use a small amount of browser storage to improve your experience:

• Theme preference — Your dark/light mode choice is saved in localStorage so it persists across visits
• Google AdSense cookies — Used by Google to show relevant ads (see section 4)
• Analytics cookies — Anonymous usage statistics via Google Analytics

You can clear all browser storage at any time through your browser settings. Our calculators will still work perfectly without cookies.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit
• You can opt out of personalized advertising at google.com/settings/ads

• Your name, email address, or any contact information
• The numbers you enter into any calculator
• Your precise GPS location
• Financial account details or payment information
• Health data you input (BMI, weight, etc.) — all calculations happen in your browser only

6 Children's Privacy

TipCalc.in is a general-purpose calculator website suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.

7 Your Rights

• Clear your locally stored theme preference at any time via browser settings
• Opt out of Google personalized ads via Google's Ad Settings
• Use the website with cookies disabled (most features still work)
• Request information about any data we may hold about you

8 Changes to This Policy
