Summary: The Hanging Calculator doesn't collect personal data. All your measurements are stored locally in your browser and never transmitted to any server.
Information We Collect
The Hanging Calculator is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or process any personal information. Here's what happens with your data:
- Measurement Data: All calculations and saved measurements are stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device.
- Preferences: Settings like your preferred unit of measurement and dark/light mode preference are stored locally in your browser.
- No Accounts: We don't require or offer user accounts, so we don't collect any registration information.
How We Use Information
Since all data stays in your browser, we don't "use" your information in any traditional sense. The localStorage functionality allows you to:
- Save calculations for future reference
- Maintain your preferred settings between visits
- Access your data on the same device and browser
You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for this site.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Google Fonts: We load the Inter font from Google Fonts. Google may collect anonymous usage data through this service. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
- Google AdSense: We display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. For more information, see How Google uses information from sites that use our services.

Your Rights
Because your data never leaves your device:
- Access: All your data is visible in your browser's developer tools under localStorage.
- Deletion: You can delete your data at any time by clearing localStorage or using your browser's "Clear site data" function.
- Portability: Your data is stored in standard JSON format in localStorage and can be exported using browser developer tools.
Data Security
Your data security is straightforward with our approach: since we don't collect your data, we can't lose it, have it breached, or misuse it. Your measurements and preferences exist only on your device.
The site is served over HTTPS to ensure secure connections.
Children's Privacy
The Hanging Calculator is a general-purpose tool suitable for users of all ages. Since we don't collect any personal information, there are no special considerations for children's data.
