Privacy Policy

The short version

The calculators on Walking Calc run entirely in your browser. The age, weight, goals, and step counts you enter are processed locally and are never sent to our servers or stored by us. The only data collection on this site comes from optional advertising (Google AdSense) and analytics (Google Analytics), both of which are gated behind your cookie consent.

What we collect

We do not require accounts and do not collect names, email addresses, or any personal information directly. Your health-related inputs (weight, age, goals) never leave your device. Your cookie consent choice is stored in your browser's localStorage so we don't ask on every visit.

Cookies, advertising, and analytics

We use Google AdSense to show ads that keep the site free, and Google Analytics to understand which calculators are useful. Both operate under Google Consent Mode v2:

• If you accept cookies, the AdSense script loads and Google may use cookies to personalize and measure ads. Analytics may also use cookies to measure visits.
• If you reject cookies, no ad scripts load at all, and analytics is limited to anonymous, cookieless pings. The site remains fully functional.

You can change your choice at any time via the Cookie Preferences link in the footer. For details on how Google uses data, see How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Health data

Although you may enter health-related numbers (weight, age, step counts), these are used only for the calculation you requested, only within your browser, and are discarded when you leave the page. We never see them.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under GDPR and CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data. Because we don't collect personal data ourselves, such requests generally apply to Google's services; rejecting cookies prevents that collection entirely on this site.

Children's privacy

This site is suitable for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the “last updated” date above.
