Welcome to GoBuildCalcs (https://www.gobuildcalcs.com). We provide free online calculators for trade, construction, electrical, and building work.

We respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. We wrote it in plain English so you can understand it without a law degree.

You do not need an account to use GoBuildCalcs. We do not offer user registration or login.

By using our website, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

If you contact us through a form on the site, we collect the information you choose to send, such as:

• Device type and operating system
• Pages you visit and links you click
• Date and time of your visit

This information is usually collected through cookies, analytics tools, and similar technologies described below.

• Respond to messages you send through our contact form
• Understand how visitors use the site so we can improve calculators and content
• Monitor site performance, security, and technical issues
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information.

If you contact us, we use your message and email address only to reply to you and handle your request. We do not use contact form submissions for unrelated marketing unless you clearly ask us to.

Cookies & Analytics

Like many websites, GoBuildCalcs uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the site work and help us understand how it is used.

We use Google Analytics (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use the site, including pages viewed, time spent, and general traffic patterns. This helps us see what is useful and what we should improve.

Google Analytics data is generally reported in aggregated form and is not used to identify you personally, though Google may receive information such as your IP address and browser details as part of its standard reporting. You can learn how Google handles this data at Google's Privacy Policy.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. If you disable cookies, some parts of the site may not work as intended.

For more information about how Google uses data when you use sites that use its services, visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Advertising & Third‑Party Services

GoBuildCalcs may display advertisements, including through Google AdSense or similar ad networks, now or in the future.

Ad partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to:

• Show ads based on your visits to this site and other sites
• Measure ad performance
• Limit how often you see the same ad

These third parties may collect or receive information from your browser or device, including through cookies. That information may be used to personalize ads according to the ad provider's policies.

We do not control how third-party advertisers collect or use data. Their practices are governed by their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any ad or analytics providers that apply to your visit.

You can learn more about personalized advertising and opt-out options through industry resources such as:

• Google Ads Settings
• Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page
• Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page

Some third-party services may process data outside your country. By using GoBuildCalcs, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in locations where those providers operate.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information we collect. This includes using secure hosting and limiting access to contact form submissions to what is needed to operate the site.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Please do not send sensitive personal information through the contact form unless it is necessary for your inquiry.

Data Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy.

• Contact form messages: kept long enough to respond to you and handle follow-up, then deleted or archived unless we are required to keep them longer for legal or operational reasons.
• Analytics data: retained according to the settings and policies of our analytics provider, often in aggregated form.
• Cookies: remain on your device until they expire or you delete them through your browser.

We may retain limited information longer if required by law, to resolve disputes, or to enforce our policies.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to:

• Ask what personal information we have about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of information we hold about you
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Receive a copy of information you provided in a portable format

Because GoBuildCalcs does not use accounts, we may need you to verify your identity before we can respond to a request, especially if it relates to a contact form submission.

If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another region with similar privacy laws, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

California residents may have additional rights under applicable state law, including the right to know what categories of personal information are collected and the right to request deletion, subject to certain exceptions.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below. We will respond within a reasonable time and as required by applicable law.
