Privacy Policy

Summary (Plain English)

We believe in straightforward privacy practices. Here's the short version:

• We don't collect your personal data. No accounts, no registration, no tracking of your calculations.
• All calculations happen in your browser. Your step counts, height, and results never leave your device.
• Nothing is stored on our servers. We don't have a database of user data because we don't collect any.
• We don't sell data. We have no data to sell.

The only exception is if you voluntarily email us, in which case we receive the information you choose to send.

Information We Don't Collect

Unlike many websites, we specifically designed this calculator to avoid collecting personal information:

• No account required: You don't need to sign up, log in, or provide any personal details to use the calculator.
• No calculation data stored: Your step counts, height measurements, distances, and calculation results are processed entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. This data is never transmitted to our servers.
• No health or fitness data collected: We don't track your fitness progress, walking habits, or any health-related information.
• No financial data: We don't process payments or collect financial information.
• No location tracking: We don't access or store your geographic location.

Information That May Be Collected

While we minimize data collection, some information may be collected through standard web technologies:

Web Analytics

We may use basic analytics to understand how the website is used in aggregate. This includes anonymous data such as:

• Page views and which pages are visited
• General geographic region (country level)
• Device type (mobile, tablet, desktop)
• Browser type
• Referring website

This data is aggregated and anonymous. It helps us understand if the calculator is working properly and which content is useful. It does not identify individual users or track your personal calculations.

Server Logs

Our hosting provider (Vercel) may automatically collect standard server logs, which can include IP addresses, browser information, and pages requested. These logs are used for security monitoring and are subject to Vercel's privacy policy.

Email Contact Data

If you choose to contact us via email, the following information is collected:

• Your email address
• Your name (if provided)
• Your message content

We use this data solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to marketing lists, sell your contact information, or share it with third parties beyond what's necessary to respond to you.

You can request deletion of any email correspondence by emailing us.

Third-Party Services

Vercel (Hosting)

Cookies

• Essential cookies: May be used by our hosting provider for basic functionality such as load balancing and security.
• Analytics cookies: If analytics are enabled, cookies may be used to distinguish users for aggregate statistics.

We do not use cookies for advertising, tracking across websites, or building personal profiles. The calculator itself does not require cookies to function.

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through settings. Disabling cookies should not affect the calculator's functionality.

Your Rights

• Email data: You can request that we delete any information you've sent us by emailing info@stepstomilescalculator.org.
• Cookies: You can clear cookies through your browser settings at any time.
• Questions: You can contact us with any privacy-related questions.

Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since our calculator doesn't require any personal information to use, children can use it without providing data. If you believe a child has sent us personal information via email, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Significant changes will be noted on this page. Your continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
