This Privacy Policy explains how CalculatingDistance.com may collect, use, and protect information when you use the website.
Information processed when you visit
Our hosting provider and website software may automatically process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, requested pages, timestamps, and server error logs. This information is used for security, reliability, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting.
Calculator inputs
Some calculators work entirely in your browser. Address, route, map, and radius tools may send locations, addresses, coordinates, or map requests to third-party geographic services needed to return a result. Avoid entering sensitive or private location information.
Cookies and local storage
WordPress, security, performance, consent, analytics, or embedded-service components may use cookies or similar storage where enabled. Necessary cookies support basic site operation. Optional analytics or advertising cookies should be controlled through the consent choices presented on the site where applicable.
Third-party services
The website may rely on services such as OpenStreetMap, Nominatim, OSRM, Leaflet content-delivery resources, hosting/security providers, and linked social platforms. Requests to those services are governed by their own privacy policies and may include technical identifiers and the geographic query required to provide the requested function.
How information is used
- to operate and secure the website;
- to calculate requested geographic results;
- to diagnose errors and improve performance;
- to respond to enquiries voluntarily submitted by users;
- to meet applicable legal obligations.
Data retention
Technical logs and submitted enquiries are retained only for as long as reasonably needed for security, support, operational, or legal purposes. Retention periods may vary between service providers.
Your rights
Depending on your location, including under the GDPR and related laws, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to request data portability or complain to a supervisory authority. These rights may be subject to legal limitations.
Children’s privacy
The website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly request personal information from children.
