Privacy Policy
Read how Tire Comparison Calculator handles browser calculations, cookies and server logs. Learn about your data and privacy rights.
This policy explains how TireComparisonCalculator.com collects, uses and protects data. Shakeel Lodhi owns and runs the site. Here, "we", "our" and "the site" refer to that service and its tire tools.
1. Client-Side Only Calculations
Tire calculations run on your device using JavaScript. This includes speedometer error, scaled drawings and unit conversions. The tire dimensions and vehicle setups you enter are not sent to or stored on our servers.
2. Information We Collect
- Standard Web Server Logs: Like virtually all websites, our web hosting provider may log technical connection data including IP address, browser user-agent, referring page, and requested file path for system security, caching, and DDoS mitigation. These logs are kept only as long as the hosting provider needs them for those purposes.
- Contact Information: If you voluntarily reach out to us via our contact form or by email, we receive your name, email address, the topic you selected, and your message for the sole purpose of replying to your query.
- What we do not collect: We do not ask for accounts, payment details, vehicle identification numbers, or precise location, and we do not build advertising profiles.
3. Cookies, Local Storage & Analytics
The site does not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not sell or share personal data with data brokers. We may use your browser's local storage to remember convenience settings (such as your preferred unit: millimeters or inches); this data stays on your device and you can clear it at any time from your browser settings. We do not currently run third-party analytics. If we add privacy-friendly analytics in the future, this policy will be updated before it goes live.
4. Third-Party Services
- Hosting and content delivery: the website is served by a hosting/CDN provider that processes connection data (see section 2) on our behalf.
- Fonts: the Inter and JetBrains Mono typefaces are self-hosted on our own domain, so no request is made to Google Fonts or any other font service.
- Contact form delivery: messages sent through the contact form may be relayed to our inbox by a form-processing service, or composed in your own email app. Either way, they are used only to answer you.
5. How We Use and Keep Information
We use the limited information described above to operate and secure the website and to respond to messages you send us. We keep contact messages only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards for reference, and then delete them. We never use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.
6. Your Rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR or California's CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, object to or restrict its processing, and receive a copy of it. You can also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Because we hold very little personal data, most requests can be handled quickly. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
7. Children's Privacy
The site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
8. Privacy Requests & Contact
To make a privacy request or ask a question about this policy, email support@tirecomparisoncalculator.com or use our contact page. We aim to respond within 30 days.
9. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be revised occasionally to reflect updates to our web tools or legal requirements. The date below shows when it was last changed.
