Privacy Policy

At GasBudgetCalculator.com (“we”, “us”, or “our”), accessible at https://gasbudgetcalculator.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document describes what information is handled and how it is protected.

1. Local-Only Calculations (Client-Side)

All numbers, commute distances, fuel economy ratings, gas prices, and calculations you input into our tools are processed in your browser. We do not send, transmit, store, or log any vehicle specs, daily mileage data, financial figures, or trip locations onto our servers.

2. Information We Collect

• Standard Web Server Logs: Like most web services, our hosting provider logs standard HTTP request metadata (such as IP addresses, browser user-agents, referring URLs, and timestamps) solely for technical diagnostics and protection against abuse such as denial-of-service attacks.
• Communications: If you reach out to us via our Contact page or by email, we receive the name, email address, and message content you provide, and use them only to respond to your question.

We do not ask for, and you should not send us, sensitive personal information such as payment details, government ID numbers, or health data.

3. Cookies, Analytics and Client Storage

GasBudgetCalculator.com does not use persistent tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or invasive cross-site profiling trackers, and we do not run third-party analytics services. All input values and vehicle adjustments are held in client-side memory while you use the application. If we ever consider adding privacy-friendly analytics or cookies in the future, we will update this policy before deployment.

4. Third-Party Services

A small number of trusted providers help us run the website. Each one only receives the data needed for its task:

• Hosting and CDN: Privacy-respecting hosting and content-delivery infrastructure (e.g. Vercel, Cloudflare) that complies with global data protection standards (GDPR / CCPA) and processes the server logs described above.
• Google Fonts: Our typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser requests font files from Google servers and Google receives your IP address and browser details. See the Google Privacy Policy.
• Contact form delivery: Messages sent through our contact form are relayed to our inbox by FormSubmit, which processes the name, email, and message you submit for the sole purpose of delivering it to us.

We do not sell, rent, or monetize personal data, and we do not share it with data brokers or advertisers.

5. Data Retention

Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to answer your request and handle any follow-up, and we then delete them. Server logs are retained by our hosting provider for a limited period for security purposes and then automatically removed.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR or the California CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to:

• request access to the personal data we hold about you;
• ask us to correct or delete that data;
• object to or restrict certain processing;
• receive a copy of your data in a portable format; and
• lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Because calculator inputs never leave your browser, the only personal data we normally hold is what you send us by email or through the contact form. To exercise any of these rights, email us at the address below and we will respond within 30 days.

7. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for a general adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Updates & Inquiries

We may periodically update this statement to reflect technological enhancements or legal requirements; the date below shows when it was last revised. For questions, concerns, or privacy requests, please message us at privacy@gasbudgetcalculator.com.
