Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains what information BuildProjectCosts ("we," "us") collects when you use this website, how it is used, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

We do not require an account and we do not ask for your name, address, or payment information. The calculator runs entirely in your browser; the values you enter are not sent to us.

We may collect limited technical information automatically, such as:

• Browser type and version
• Device type and approximate location (country or region level)
• Pages viewed and referring URLs
• Date and time of visits

If you email us, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.

Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand how the site is used, and serve advertising. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not work as expected.

Advertising

This site may display ads served by Google AdSense and other third-party advertising partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.

For more information about how Google uses data, see Google's partner sites policy.

Service providers

We use a small number of vendors to operate the site. They process data on our behalf under their own terms:

• Cloudflare — hosting, domain name service, and network security. Cloudflare processes request logs and technical data to deliver pages and block abuse.
• Google — advertising through AdSense and, if enabled, analytics. Google may set advertising and measurement cookies as described above.
• GitHub — source code hosting and deployment automation.

Legal bases and your rights (EEA and UK)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we rely on these legal bases: legitimate interests for keeping the site secure and understanding aggregate usage, and consent where required for personalized advertising and non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time through the consent message shown on the site or your browser settings.

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

California privacy rights

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. California residents may request to know what personal information we have collected, request deletion, and request correction by emailing us. We will verify the request and respond within the time required by law. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16.

Data retention

Server and security logs held by our hosting provider are retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting. Emails you send us are kept until the matter is resolved and then deleted on request. We do not maintain user accounts or a database of calculator inputs.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting or standard analytics tools to understand aggregate traffic patterns. These tools may set cookies or collect device and usage data. We use this information to improve the site, not to identify individual visitors.

Third-party links

Our pages may link to external websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Review the privacy policy of any site you visit through a link.

Children's privacy

This site is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your choices

• Block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
• Use ad personalization opt-outs linked above.
• Use browser privacy controls or extensions that limit tracking.
• Email us to request deletion of any message you have sent us.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site or applicable laws change. The updated date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
