Privacy Policy
How we handle personal information under applicable US state privacy laws, including the CCPA and CPRA where relevant.
1. Our Philosophy
Minimal data. Maximum clarity. We believe your personal matters should remain your own business. Using our calculators requires no account creation, names, or email addresses.
2. Information We Collect & Calculator Inputs
Calculator inputs are processed to provide the service you request. We do not sell the calculator inputs you enter. Applicable US state privacy laws, including the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, apply where relevant.
3. Technical Logs & Security
Our hosting provider processes standard server logs, including IP address, browser type, language and request time, to maintain security and service stability.
4. Cookies and Local Storage
We use local storage for functional preferences such as language and color scheme, and optionally for gift lists you save in a calculator; this information stays on your device. In the US, analytics and advertising storage default to granted under Google Consent Mode v2. You can change that choice on this Privacy Policy page; the preference is stored locally as cg-us-privacy-optout-v1. UK, DE, AT and CH visitors use a separate consent banner and the analytics-consent key.
Web Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to understand how the site is used and improve our calculators.
The site sends Google tags interaction events such as page views, completed calculations, result ratings, search use, and share or copy actions. Gift amounts, budget inputs, personal details, free-text entries, and shared result-link contents are not intentionally sent as event parameters. Depending on the tag configuration, Google tags may send limited cookieless signals when consent is denied; analytics storage remains disabled.
Google Analytics also collects standard technical usage data required for the service, such as truncated or anonymized IP addresses (IP anonymization is enabled), approximate location (e.g., country), browser and device information, session identifiers, interaction duration, page path, page title, and referrer URL. We configure analytics so page URLs are transmitted without query parameters, preventing selection values from shared links from being passed along. Google may process data in the United States. We do not use Google Analytics advertising features for personalized advertising; optional aggregated demographic reporting (such as age or gender via Google Signals) occurs only based on your analytics consent.
In the US, Google Consent Mode v2 defaults analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization to granted. There is no GDPR-style consent banner for the US market. Use the US privacy choices control on this page to opt out or opt back in on this device. For UK, DE, AT and CH markets, storage remains denied until the visitor accepts on the site consent banner.
Your US privacy choices
Analytics and advertising are enabled by default in the US. You can change your choice at any time on this device.
Analytics and advertising are enabled by default.
Legal basis: Consent where required by applicable US state privacy laws, including the CCPA as amended by the CPRA. Google may process data in the United States. More information: Google Privacy Policy.
Google AdSense & Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. In the US, advertising-related Consent Mode signals default to granted unless you opt out on this Privacy Policy page. Google Consent Mode v2 communicates that choice to Google tags. When opted out, the relevant storage and personalization signals remain denied; non-personalized ads may be shown depending on configuration.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings or alternatively via www.aboutads.info.
Legal basis for personalised advertising: Consent where required by applicable US state privacy laws, including the CCPA as amended by the CPRA. More information: Google Advertising and the Google Privacy Policy.
Using Native Share & Clipboard Functions
We offer the ability to share calculated results via your device's native sharing feature (e.g., via messaging apps, email, or SMS) or copy the link directly to your clipboard.
How it works: When clicking 'Share Result' or 'Copy Result Link', our application interacts exclusively with local browser or operating system interfaces (the Web Share API `navigator.share` and clipboard-based copy functionality).
Data processing: No personal data is transmitted to our servers or third-party providers during this action. The creation of the personalized link and opening of your operating system share menu occur entirely locally on your device (client-side).
User responsibility: Only when you actively select a service (such as a messaging app or mail client) in your local device menu to send the link does data processing occur through that respective third party. We have no control over third-party data practices. The privacy policies of your chosen services apply.
Purpose: The local sharing function lets you share the results you requested using your device's tools.
Use of the share or copy function may be sent as an event to Google tags; processing follows the consent signals communicated through Google Consent Mode v2. Gift amounts and link contents are not sent.
5. Third-Party Widgets & Analytics
Details regarding web analytics can be found in the 'Web Analytics (Google Analytics 4)' section above. External review widgets are currently not utilized.
6. Your Privacy Rights Under Applicable US Law
These rights may include, depending on applicable law:
- Right to know and access personal information collected
- Right to request deletion, subject to legal exceptions
- Right to opt out of sale, sharing or targeted advertising
- Right to non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights
