1. Introduction

At kW Calc, accessible from https://kwcalc.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by kW Calc and how we use it. We understand that engineering and technical data is personal, and we respect your right to control your data.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

3. Information We Collect

kW Calc does not require user registration or account creation. All calculators are free to use without inputting personal details like name, phone number, or home address. The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide personal information (such as filling out our contact form or sending us an email directly).

If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide. This information is stored temporarily to help us answer your inquiries and is deleted afterward.

4. Log Files

kW Calc follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this as part of hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering broad demographic information for infrastructure optimizations.

5. Cookies and Web Beacons

Like any other website, kW Calc uses "cookies". These cookies are used to store information including visitors' preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users' experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser type and/or other information.

For detailed information on the specific cookies we use, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

6. Third-Party Services & Advertising Partners

We work with third-party networks and analytics systems to improve our website experience and support our operations through advertising. These companies have their own privacy policies.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to monitor and analyze web traffic. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions on our pages. This data helps us understand category popularity, loading performance, and geographical visitor distributions. The collected IP addresses are anonymized before processing. You can opt-out of Google Analytics by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising

This Website partners with Mediavine to manage all third-party advertising on the Website.

A cookie is a small text file sent to your computer or mobile device by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First-party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, web beacons, pixels, and other tracking technologies may be placed by our ad partner Mediavine to target and serve personalized advertisements. Mediavine may collect personal data, including IP address, device properties, browser configuration, location details, and interest characteristics, to optimize ad delivery.

Mediavine may collect and use personal data for interest-based advertising, including geolocations, device types, unique identifier strings, and page history. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), Mediavine will seek your consent prior to serving personalized ads.
