Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how EstimatingCubicYards.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you use our website and tools.

What we collect

• Usage data: basic, aggregated metrics (e.g., page views, device type, approximate region) to improve performance and UX.
• Server logs: standard web logs (IP address, user-agent, timestamps) used for security and reliability.
• Messages you send: if you contact us via the contact page, we receive the details you submit.

Preferences stored in your browser

To make the tool pleasant to use, we may store non-personal preferences locally in your browser (e.g., chosen units, decimal places, currency symbol, and last used fields). These stay on your device unless your browser syncs them per your settings. Clearing site data resets them.

What we do not collect by default

• No user accounts or passwords are required.
• No payment details—we don’t sell materials or process orders.
• No government ID numbers.

How we use information

• Provide, maintain, and improve the calculator and site
• Secure the service, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot
• Respond to messages you send

Legal bases (EEA/UK)

• Legitimate interests for minimal analytics, security, and service improvement
• Consent where required (e.g., any non-essential cookies or newsletter, if introduced)

Retention

Contact messages are kept as long as needed to respond and for routine record-keeping. Logs/analytics are kept for a limited period consistent with security and operations.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with trusted service providers that help us run the site (e.g., hosting, security, analytics) under confidentiality and data-protection obligations. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or the integrity of the service.

Your choices & rights

• You can use the calculator without creating an account.
• If you’re in the EEA/UK, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. To exercise rights, contact us via the contact page.
• California residents may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA. You can reach out to make a request.

Cookies & analytics

If we use analytics, we prefer privacy-respecting tools and minimal data. If any non-essential cookies are introduced, we will provide notice and controls where required by law.

Data security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No internet service is 100% secure, but we work to keep risk low.

International transfers

Our infrastructure or providers may be located outside your country. Where legally required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13 (or the age required by local law). If you believe a child provided personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. If changes are material, we’ll take reasonable steps to notify you (e.g., a banner on the site).
