Last Updated: January 2024

1. Introduction

Welcome to the Kitchen Fire Suppression Calculator ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website and tools.

2. Information We Collect

Important: Our calculator tool operates entirely in your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data or calculation results to our servers. All calculations are performed locally on your device.

We only collect:

Anonymous Usage Data: Through Google Analytics, we collect anonymous information about how visitors use our site (pages visited, time spent, etc.)
Browser Information: Basic browser type, version, and screen resolution for compatibility purposes
Local Storage Data: Information you choose to save locally on your device

3. Local Storage

We use browser localStorage (on your device only) to:

Save your recent calculations for your convenience
Remember your preferences (like expert mode settings)
Store visitor count (anonymous, no personal identification)
Remember your currency selection

This data remains exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or shared with third parties.

4. Cookies & Tracking

We use minimal cookies only for essential functions:

Google Analytics: Anonymous tracking of site usage
Google AdSense: For displaying relevant advertisements
Session Cookies: For maintaining your session on our site

You can control cookies through your browser settings.

5. Third-Party Services

We use these third-party services:

Google Analytics: For understanding how visitors use our site (anonymous data only)
Google AdSense: To display relevant advertisements
Font Awesome: For icons and visual elements
Buy Me a Coffee: For optional donations (external service)
Amazon Associates: For affiliate links (external service)

These services have their own privacy policies which we recommend you review.

6. External Links

Our website contains links to external sites (tools, resources, affiliate links). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.

7. Data Security

Since we don't collect personal data on our servers, there's minimal risk of data breaches. Your calculation data stays on your device. We implement standard web security practices to protect our website infrastructure.

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.

Note: This is a simplified privacy policy for a tool that operates locally in your browser. For complex web applications with user accounts and server-side data storage, a more comprehensive policy would be required.
