3. Calculator Privacy

Privacy is particularly important when using our health and nutrition calculators.

Your calculator inputs, such as weight, height, age, and activity level, are intended to be processed within your browser using JavaScript. These inputs are not intentionally sent to our servers simply because you use a calculator.

However, normal website technologies such as hosting, security, analytics, advertising, or embedded third-party services may process technical information independently of the calculator itself.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Calorie Check may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember certain preferences, understand website usage, improve performance, and support advertising or analytics where applicable.

Cookies may be:

Essential cookies — required for basic website functionality and security.
Analytics cookies — used to understand how visitors interact with the website.
Advertising cookies — where applicable, used by advertising partners to provide or measure relevant advertisements.
Preference cookies — used to remember certain settings or preferences.

You can usually manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.

5. Google Analytics and Other Analytics Services

We may use analytics services to understand how visitors use Calorie Check.

These services may collect information such as browser information, device information, approximate location, pages visited, traffic sources, and interactions with the website.

Analytics services generally use cookies or similar technologies to provide aggregated usage information.

Where third-party analytics services are used, their processing of information is governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

6. Advertising

Calorie Check may display advertisements from third-party advertising networks.

Advertising providers may use cookies, web beacons, device information, or similar technologies to deliver, personalize, measure, or improve advertisements.

We do not control the privacy practices of independent advertising providers. Visitors should review the privacy policies of the relevant advertising networks for more information about how they process information.

If advertising is introduced or changed on this website, this Privacy Policy may be updated accordingly.

7. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, services, restaurants, resources, or other external websites.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external website before providing personal information.

8. Nutrition and Health Information

Calorie Check provides general calorie, nutrition, fitness, and body-metric information for educational purposes.

Our calculators may provide estimates using established formulas and publicly available nutritional information. Results can vary between individuals.

Our website is not a medical service and does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or individualized medical advice.

If you have a medical condition, eating disorder, nutritional concern, food allergy, or other health concern, consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet or exercise routine.

9. Restaurant and Menu Information

Some Calorie Check tools provide calorie and nutrition estimates for restaurant meals and menus.

Such information may be compiled from publicly available sources, published nutrition information, or estimates and may change over time.

Restaurant-specific calculators are independently provided for general informational purposes and are not necessarily affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the referenced restaurant brands.

For allergies or medical decisions, always verify nutritional and allergen information directly with the relevant restaurant or official source.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information processed through our website.

However, no website, server, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should avoid submitting sensitive personal information through website forms unless it is specifically required.

11. Children’s Privacy

Calorie Check is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed toward children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through our calculators.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have privacy rights under applicable data protection laws.

These rights may include:

Requesting access to personal information we hold about you
Requesting correction of inaccurate information
Requesting deletion of certain information
Objecting to certain processing activities
Requesting restriction of processing
Withdrawing consent where processing is based on consent
Requesting information about how your data is used

Because our calculators are designed to process inputs locally in your browser and we do not intentionally store those calculator inputs, there may be no calculator data associated with you for us to access, modify, or delete.

13. International Visitors

Calorie Check may be accessed by visitors from different countries.

Depending on the services we use, technical information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country where you live.

By using our website, you acknowledge that such processing may occur in accordance with applicable privacy laws and the policies of relevant third-party service providers.
