Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to 40Calc. This Privacy Policy explains how 40calc.com (the “Site”), operated by Mustafa Dev, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit and use our website.

We have written this policy in plain language on purpose — you deserve to understand exactly what happens with your data, not wade through legal jargon to find out.

By using 40Calc, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

2. The Short Version

Before the full details, here’s the summary:

• Your calculator inputs are never stored. Everything you type into a calculator is processed in your browser only — it never reaches our servers.
• We collect basic analytics data to understand how the site is used and improve it.
• We collect contact form data only when you voluntarily reach out to us.
• We do not sell your data to anyone, ever.
• We use cookies for basic site functionality and analytics only.

3.2 Calculator Inputs

The numbers and values you enter into any calculator on 40Calc are processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. This data is:
