International Visitor Notice: Wainscoting Calculator provides localized calculation interfaces across multiple global languages. This Privacy Policy is maintained in English as the official governing standard across all versions.
1. Information We Do Not Collect from Calculations
Wainscoting Calculator is a 100% free web utility. We do not require account registration, passwords, credit card numbers, or financial profile data to access any calculation features, tape schedules, or cutting lists. All measurements, room dimensions, and material choices you enter into our calculation tools remain entirely within your local browser memory and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.
2. Contact Desk Communications
If you voluntarily contact us via our contact desk or direct email (support@wainscotingcalculator.com), we receive the information you provide (such as your name, email address, and project inquiries). We use this information solely to respond to your technical questions, calculator bug reports, or feature suggestions. We never sell, rent, or distribute your email address or contact information to third parties.
3. Local Storage Usage
We use browser localStorage solely to remember your preferred visual theme (Dark Mode / Light Mode), metric or imperial measurement units, and cookie preferences between browsing sessions. You can clear this data at any time via your browser settings.
4. Analytics & Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization to analyze aggregate site usage patterns, identify calculation tool performance issues, and understand which guides are most helpful to woodworkers. GA4 sets first-party cookies to track non-personally identifiable visit metrics. Visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK are provided with consent controls in compliance with ePrivacy regulations and Google Consent Mode v2.
