Privacy Policy

How CalcMotive handles calculator inputs, shared links, technical requests, email, optional analytics, consent and advertising data.

Last updated: August 7, 2026

Scope and privacy contact

This policy applies to calcmotive.com, operated and published under the CalcMotive name. CalcMotive determines how the limited processing described below is used for this website. Privacy questions and rights requests can be sent to hello@calcmotive.com.

Active publisher stack: google. Ads, consent management, publisher scripts, ad slots, the public ads.txt behavior and the publisher-specific Content Security Policy are selected together at build time. A build cannot combine the Google and Ezoic stacks.

Data we handle

ActivityData involvedWhat happens
Using a calculatorNumbers and selected display currencyProcessed locally in the browser. There is no calculator-input database or user account.
Opening a shared linkCalculator values in the URL fragment after #calc?The fragment is not part of the HTTP request. First-party page code captures and removes it before optional third-party tags can load, then keeps it only in browser memory long enough to populate the calculator.
Requesting a pageIP address, time, requested resource, response status and user agentMay be processed by the hosting, network and security layers to deliver and protect the site.
Emailing CalcMotiveEmail address, message and information you choose to sendUsed to answer the request, investigate a correction or manage a privacy enquiry.
Optional measurementConsent state, page path, device and aggregate interaction eventsGoogle Analytics can load only when configured and permitted by the applicable Google consent state.
Optional advertisingConsent state, device, cookie and advertising informationGoogle AdSense can be enabled only after its configuration and consent gate are complete.

Calculator inputs and shared links

CalcMotive does not intentionally send calculator input values or results to Analytics or include them in analytics event names. A newly created share link places only the selected inputs in a client-side URL fragment so the recipient can reproduce the calculation; results are recalculated and are not encoded. The fragment is not sent in the initial HTTP request, but anyone who receives the full link can still read its values. Older query-style calculator links are scrubbed but are no longer interpreted; create a new fragment-based link if one must be shared. Do not use calculators or share links for confidential, regulated, customer or identifying information.

Technical delivery and security

The production web container has access logging disabled. OVHcloud and security or availability systems may still process request metadata needed to route traffic, prevent abuse, diagnose faults and maintain service. Operational logs controlled by CalcMotive are intended to be retained for no longer than 14 days unless a security incident, legal obligation or active investigation requires longer preservation.

Optional publisher services

When a GA4 measurement identifier is configured, Google Consent Mode defaults analytics and advertising storage to denied. The Google tag loads only after the configured Google consent flow reports every relevant purpose as granted or not applicable for that request. A missing or unconfigured consent status keeps the tag disabled. CalcMotive permits only aggregate events such as calculator start, calculation completion, result copy, share-link creation and related-content selection. Page reporting removes the query string.

If AdSense is activated, Google and participating advertising providers may process information according to the choices presented through Google Privacy & Messaging. A Google-certified consent management platform integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework must be published and tested before consent-dependent advertising is enabled for visitors in the EEA, UK or Switzerland. The footer provides a way to reopen privacy choices whenever that system is active.

Purposes and legal grounds

Providers and international processing

OVHcloud provides hosting and network infrastructure. Google Search Console is an operator-side service and does not add a visitor-side tag.

Google may provide Privacy & Messaging, Analytics and AdSense services when the corresponding feature is configured. Google operates under its own service terms and privacy documentation and may process data outside the visitor's country using the transfer mechanisms available to it.

Retention

Calculator inputs are not retained by a CalcMotive application database. Technical data is kept only for the operational periods described above. Email is retained for as long as reasonably needed to answer the request, maintain a correction record or meet legal obligations. Google-controlled retention depends on the active product and account settings.

Your choices and rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to or receive a copy of personal data, withdraw consent and complain to a competent supervisory authority. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already carried out lawfully. Use the footer privacy-settings control when available, or email CalcMotive. Contact hello@calcmotive.com. Proportionate information may be requested to verify a rights request.
