1. Overview

At RatioMath ("we," "our," or "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy and personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our free online calculator platform available at ratiomath.com.

Our philosophy is simple: we believe the best way to protect your privacy is to collect as little information as possible. That's why RatioMath is designed to work entirely in your browser without requiring accounts, storing personal data, or tracking your activities.

2. Information We Don't Collect

RatioMath is designed with a privacy-first approach. Here's what we DON'T collect:

Personal Information

  • Names, email addresses, or contact information
  • Account credentials (no registration required)
  • Financial, health, or sensitive personal data
  • Device identifiers or advertising IDs

Calculation Data

  • Numbers you input into calculators
  • Calculation results or history
  • Which calculators you use
  • How often you visit specific calculators

Tracking & Behavioral Data

  • Cross-site tracking cookies
  • Detailed browsing behavior
  • Social media profiles or connections
  • Location data beyond general region

3. Local Processing & Data Handling

How Our Calculators Work

All calculations are performed entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. When you input values and click "Calculate," the processing happens on your device - not on our servers.

This means:

  • Your data never leaves your device - Input values and results stay in your browser
  • No server storage - We don't store calculation data in databases
  • No transmission - Values aren't sent over the internet during calculations
  • Session-only data - Everything is cleared when you close the tab or refresh

Important Note

Since calculations are processed locally, your data is as secure as your own device. We recommend using updated browsers and devices with proper security measures.

4. Analytics & Cookies

Privacy-Focused Analytics

We may use privacy-focused analytics tools to understand how our website is used and to improve our service. This data is:

  • Aggregated and anonymized - No individual user identification
  • General usage patterns only - Which pages are popular, not who visits them
  • No cross-site tracking - We don't track you across other websites

Essential Cookies Only

We only use essential cookies required for the website to function properly:

  • Session cookies - Maintain your preferences during your visit
  • Security cookies - Protect against malicious attacks
  • Functional cookies - Remember your unit preferences (metric/imperial)

These cookies do not track you across websites or store personal information.

5. Third-Party Services

To provide our service, we use the following third-party services:

Web Hosting & CDN

Our website is hosted on secure servers and uses Content Delivery Network (CDN) services for faster loading. These services may collect technical information like IP addresses and browser information for security, performance, and geographic routing purposes only.

Security Services

We use security services to protect against spam, abuse, and malicious attacks. These services may analyze request patterns and IP addresses to maintain website security.

We choose third-party services that align with our privacy values and have their own privacy protections in place.

6. Data Security

While we don't collect or store personal data, we still take security seriously:

Technical Security

  • HTTPS encryption for all connections
  • Secure hosting infrastructure
  • Regular security monitoring

Privacy by Design

  • No data collection by default
  • Anonymous usage patterns
  • Local-only processing

7. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

RatioMath is safe for users of all ages, including children under 13. Since we don't collect personal information from anyone, we automatically comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Safe for Educational Use

Our calculators are commonly used in educational settings. Teachers and parents can be confident that students can use our tools without privacy concerns, as no personal information is collected or stored regardless of the user's age.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, many traditional privacy rights don't apply. However, you still have control:

What You Can Do

  • Use our calculators completely anonymously
  • Clear your browser data anytime
  • Use private/incognito browsing mode
  • Block cookies if desired (may affect functionality)

GDPR & International Users

For users in the EU and other regions with data protection laws: since we don't collect personal data, there's no personal data to access, correct, delete, or port. Our privacy-first approach means you're already getting the strongest protection possible.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make changes:

  • We'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
  • For significant changes, we may display a notice on our homepage
  • Continued use of our service constitutes acceptance of the updated policy

We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
