Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 21, 2026

Last Updated: November 10, 2026

ARTICLE 1. INTRODUCTION AND IDENTITY OF THE OPERATOR

1.1 Operator. The website known as Home & Yard Calcs and located at homeandyardcalcs.com, together with all of its pages, calculators, tools, and content (collectively, the “Site”), is owned and operated by Home & Yard Calcs (the “Operator,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

1.2 Purpose. This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) describes the types of information that may be collected from or about you (“you” or “your”) when you access or use the Site, how such information is used and disclosed, and the choices and rights available to you with respect to such information.

1.3 Contact. Questions, comments, or requests concerning this Policy or our privacy practices may be directed to the Operator by electronic mail at cosmodromedigital@gmail.com.

ARTICLE 2. SCOPE

2.1 Application. This Policy applies solely to information collected through the Site. It does not apply to any other website, application, or service, including any third-party website linked to from the Site or any third party that displays advertisements on the Site, each of which is governed by its own privacy policy.

2.2 Acknowledgment. By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. Where consent is required by applicable law, we will request your consent as described in Article 7.

ARTICLE 3. INFORMATION WE DO NOT COLLECT: CALCULATOR INPUTS

3.1 Local Processing. The calculators and tools available on the Site (the “Tools”) operate entirely within your web browser. Any measurements, dimensions, quantities, or other data that you enter into a Tool (“Calculator Inputs”), and the results generated from them, are processed locally on your device.

3.2 No Transmission or Storage. Except as described in Section 3.3, Calculator Inputs are not transmitted to, collected by, or stored on any server operated by or for the Operator, and the Operator does not have access to them. The Site itself does not store Calculator Inputs or any other information on your device, and does not use browser local storage, session storage, IndexedDB, or first-party cookies.

3.3 Values Passed in Page Addresses. Certain Tools may pass a value to a related Tool by including it as a parameter in the address (URL) of the page you open (for example, carrying a roof pitch value from one Tool to another). Such a value forms part of the URL that your browser requests and may therefore appear in the Log Data described in Section 4.1, but it is not otherwise collected or stored by the Operator.

3.4 No Accounts. The Site does not offer user accounts, registration, or log-in, and does not sell products or services. Accordingly, we do not collect account credentials, payment information, or shipping or billing addresses.

ARTICLE 4. INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY

4.1 Hosting and Server Logs. The Site is hosted and delivered by Cloudflare, Inc. (“Cloudflare”). When you access the Site, Cloudflare automatically receives and processes standard technical information that your browser or device transmits with each request, for the purposes of delivering the Site and protecting it against attacks and abuse (“Log Data”). Log Data may include your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address; browser type and version (user agent); operating system and device type; the date and time of your request; the URL requested; and the referring web page or source from which you reached the Site.

4.2 Cookies, Web Beacons, and Similar Technologies. The Site itself does not set first-party cookies and does not use browser local storage, session storage, or IndexedDB. Once advertising and consent management are enabled on the Site as described in Articles 6 and 7, third parties acting on the Site, including Google and other advertising vendors, may use cookies, web beacons (also known as pixel tags), local storage, device identifiers, and similar technologies (collectively, “Cookies and Similar Technologies”). Such technologies may be used to store your consent choices, serve and measure advertisements, limit how often you see an advertisement, and detect fraud and invalid traffic.

4.3 Analytics. The Site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, a service of Cloudflare, Inc., which provides aggregated information about Site traffic and performance (such as page views, referring sources, and page-load times). Cloudflare enables this on the Site’s own domain (not on preview or workers.dev URLs). It is designed to operate without placing cookies on your browser and without using local storage, and it does not track individual visitors across websites. It may load a small JavaScript beacon from static.cloudflareinsights.com. The Operator does not use analytics data to identify you or for advertising, and the Site does not use any other analytics service.

4.4 Security Technologies. Cloudflare may set strictly necessary cookies on your browser, for example to distinguish human visitors from automated traffic and to protect the Site against attacks. Any such cookies are used solely for security purposes, do not track you across websites, and are not used for advertising.

ARTICLE 5. INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE VOLUNTARILY

5.1 Electronic Mail. The Site does not offer a contact form. If you contact us by electronic mail at cosmodromedigital@gmail.com, we will receive your email address, your name (if provided), the contents of your message, and any other information you choose to include. We use such information solely to read, respond to, and keep a record of your inquiry (including any reported error in a Tool), and to address any legal or security matter it raises.

5.2 No Sensitive Information. Please do not send us sensitive personal information (such as financial account numbers, government identification numbers, or health information) by electronic mail.

5.3 Email Delivery and Storage. Electronic mail sent to cosmodromedigital@gmail.com is received and stored by Google LLC (Gmail) on the Operator’s behalf, and is retained as described in Article 14. Google processes such messages in accordance with its privacy policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

ARTICLE 6. ADVERTISING

6.1 Third-Party Advertising. The Site uses, or may use, advertising served by Google LLC (“Google”) through its Google AdSense program. When advertising is enabled, the Site displays advertisements served by Google and may display advertisements served by other third-party advertising vendors and ad networks participating through Google. The Operator does not control the content of such advertisements.

6.2 Advertising Cookies. When advertising is enabled on the Site, third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.

6.3 How Google Uses Data. For information about how Google collects and uses data when you use websites that use Google services, including this Site, please see Google’s page “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps” at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

6.4 Opting Out of Personalized Advertising. You may opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com. You may also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting https://www.aboutads.info/choices or, if you are located in the European Union, https://www.youronlinechoices.eu.

6.5 Personalized and Non-Personalized Advertising. Personalized advertisements are selected based on information such as your prior browsing activity. If you opt out of personalized advertising, or do not consent to it where consent is required, you may still see advertisements on the Site. Such non-personalized advertisements are selected based on contextual factors, such as the content of the page you are viewing and your general (for example, city-level) location, rather than your prior browsing activity. Non-personalized advertisements nonetheless use cookies or similar technologies for frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting, and combating fraud and abuse, where permitted by applicable law.

7.1 Consent Management Platform. The Site uses, or may use, Google Privacy & messaging, a consent management platform certified by Google that implements the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework (“TCF”) (the “CMP”). When advertising is enabled, the CMP is used to request, record, and communicate your privacy choices to Google and other advertising vendors.

7.2 European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland. When advertising is enabled, if you access the Site from the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the CMP will present a European regulations message asking whether you consent to the storing of and access to information on your device, the processing of personal data for personalized advertising and ad measurement, and related purposes, and identifying the participating vendors. Cookies and Similar Technologies that are not strictly necessary will be used only in accordance with the choices you make.

7.3 Changing Your Choices. When the CMP is enabled, you may review, change, or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting the “Privacy and cookie settings” link in the footer of the Site, which will reopen the consent message. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. You may also delete or block cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect how the Site functions.

7.4 United States. When advertising is enabled, if you access the Site from a U.S. state that has enacted a comprehensive consumer privacy law, the CMP may present a US state regulations message or a “Do not sell or share my personal information” link that allows you to opt out of the sale of your personal information or the sharing or processing of your personal information for targeted (cross-context behavioral) advertising, as further described in Article 9.

ARTICLE 8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR VISITORS IN THE EEA, UNITED KINGDOM, AND SWITZERLAND

8.1 Controller. For purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”), the UK GDPR, and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, the Operator is the controller of the personal data collected through the Site as described in this Policy. Google and other advertising vendors may act as independent controllers of personal data that they collect through Cookies and Similar Technologies on the Site, in accordance with their own privacy policies.

8.2 Legal Bases for Processing. We process personal data on the following legal bases:

(a) Consent, for the use of non-essential Cookies and Similar Technologies, including for personalized advertising and ad measurement, in each case as recorded through the CMP;

(b) Legitimate interests, for hosting, delivering, securing, and maintaining the Site; preventing fraud, abuse, and invalid advertising traffic; generating aggregated, cookieless statistics about Site usage; serving non-personalized advertisements where permitted; and responding to your inquiries. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have determined that those interests are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms; and

8.3 Your Rights. Subject to the conditions and exceptions set out in applicable law, you have the right to: (a) request access to the personal data we hold about you; (b) request rectification of inaccurate personal data; (c) request erasure of your personal data; (d) request restriction of processing; (e) object to processing based on legitimate interests; (f) request data portability; (g) withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal; and (h) lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority in the country where you live or work or where an alleged infringement occurred.

8.4 Exercising Your Rights. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at cosmodromedigital@gmail.com. Because the Site does not maintain user accounts and the Operator generally does not hold information that identifies you by name, we may be unable to locate personal data relating to you, and we may request information reasonably necessary to verify your request. For personal data held by Google or other advertising vendors, you may also contact those parties directly.

ARTICLE 9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR U.S. STATE RESIDENTS

9.1 Applicability. Residents of certain U.S. states, including California (under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (the “CCPA”)) and other states that have enacted comprehensive consumer privacy laws, may have the rights described in this Article, to the extent such laws apply to the Operator.

9.2 Categories of Personal Information. The Site may collect the following categories of personal information: (a) identifiers, such as IP addresses, cookie identifiers, and, if you contact us, email addresses; (b) internet or other electronic network activity information, such as browsing and interaction data relating to the Site and to advertisements; (c) general geolocation information derived from IP addresses; and (d) the contents of communications you send to us. These categories are collected from the sources and for the purposes described in Articles 4 through 6. We do not collect sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about you.

9.3 Sale and Sharing. We do not sell personal information for money. However, the use of third-party advertising cookies on the Site to deliver personalized advertising may be considered a “sale” of personal information, “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, or processing for “targeted advertising” under certain state laws. The categories of personal information that may be so disclosed are identifiers and internet or other electronic network activity information, and the categories of third parties to which they may be disclosed are advertising networks, including Google, and their partners. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under sixteen (16) years of age.

9.4 Your Rights. To the extent applicable law grants you such rights, you may have the right to: (a) know and access the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources from which it was collected, the purposes for which it was used, and the categories of third parties to which it was disclosed; (b) request deletion of your personal information; (c) request correction of inaccurate personal information; (d) opt out of the sale of your personal information, the sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and the processing of your personal information for targeted advertising; and (e) appeal our decision regarding a request.

9.5 How to Exercise Your Rights. To opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, use the US state regulations opt-out message or the “Do not sell or share my personal information” link presented on the Site when advertising is enabled. To submit any other request, or to appeal a decision, contact us at cosmodromedigital@gmail.com with the subject line “Privacy Request” and the state in which you reside. We may need to verify your request before fulfilling it and, because the Site does not maintain user accounts, may be unable to associate certain information with you. You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, subject to verification as permitted by applicable law.

9.6 Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. The Site and its Tools are offered free of charge and will remain available to you on the same terms regardless of whether you exercise such rights.

Some web browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no uniform industry standard for interpreting such signals, the Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.

ARTICLE 12. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The Operator does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen (13) in violation of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) or other applicable law.

ARTICLE 13. DATA PROCESSING IN THE UNITED STATES

The Operator is located in the United States, and information collected through the Site is processed in the United States and in other countries where our service providers and advertising vendors operate. The data protection laws of those countries may differ from the laws of your country. Where required by applicable law, transfers of personal data from the EEA, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland are made in reliance on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or a recognized adequacy framework (for example, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK and Swiss extensions) relied upon by the relevant service provider.

ARTICLE 16. THIRD-PARTY LINKS

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, including links within advertisements and links to cited sources, suppliers, and public resources.

ARTICLE 17. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

The Operator may amend this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the amended Policy on this page and revise the “Last Updated” date above.
