Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

SolarCalc (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website at YOUR-DOMAIN.com. We provide free solar and energy calculators for informational purposes. Questions? Email us at hello@YOUR-DOMAIN.com.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

All calculator inputs — your electricity bill, system size, electricity rate, EV details, home heating usage, and any other figures you enter — are processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. This data is never transmitted to our servers, never stored in a database, and never shared with any third party.

We do not collect:

• Names, email addresses, or contact details (unless you email us directly)
• Calculator inputs or results
• Payment or financial information of any kind
• Location data beyond what is inferred from general analytics

3. Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, we use standard analytics and advertising tools that collect limited, anonymous data automatically:

• Google Analytics (GA4): We use GA4 to understand aggregate traffic patterns — which pages are visited, how long users spend on the site, and which calculators are most popular. GA4 uses cookies and may collect your IP address (anonymised), browser type, device type, and referring URL. This data is aggregated and not linked to your identity. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google AdSense: We display ads served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to show you ads based on your interests. You can opt out at adssettings.google.com.
• Cloudflare: Our site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may log IP addresses for security and performance purposes. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

4. Cookies

We use a small number of cookies:

• sc-theme (localStorage): Saves your dark or light mode preference locally in your browser. This never leaves your device.
• Google Analytics cookies: Used by GA4 for anonymous traffic measurement.
• Google AdSense cookies: Used by Google to serve relevant advertisements.

You can disable cookies at any time in your browser settings. The calculators will continue to work without cookies.

5. Affiliate Links

Some calculators include links to third-party services such as EnergySage. These are affiliate links, marked “Sponsored,” meaning we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase or submit a quote request. Clicking an affiliate link does not cost you anything extra. We only link to services we consider genuinely useful for the relevant calculator result.

6. Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to external websites. Once you leave SolarCalc, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

7. Children’s Privacy

SolarCalc is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. Your Rights

Because we do not store personal data, there is typically nothing to access, correct, or delete. If you have contacted us by email and wish to have your correspondence deleted, please email us at hello@YOUR-DOMAIN.com and we will action your request promptly.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, you may have additional rights under GDPR, including the right to access, rectify, or erase personal data we hold about you, and the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

9. Data Security

Because calculator data is processed locally in your browser and never transmitted to us, the risk of a data breach affecting your inputs is zero. Our website is served over HTTPS and hosted on Cloudflare's secure global network.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of SolarCalc after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
