Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Rough Estimate Calc is a simple set of construction and landscaping calculators. This page explains what data the site collects, why, and how you can opt out.
What we collect
This site uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand which calculators get used and how visitors navigate the site. GA4 automatically collects standard analytics data: pages viewed, time spent on a page, the site or search engine that referred you, your approximate location (derived from your IP address, which Google does not store), and general device and browser information (type, screen size, operating system).
No personal information is collected beyond this. There are no user accounts, no sign-ups, and no forms on this site that collect data — the contact page is a plain mailto link, so anything you send is a normal email, not something stored or processed by this site.
How it's used
Analytics data is used only to understand traffic patterns — which calculators are popular, whether pages are working as intended, and where to focus effort. It is not used for advertising, profiling, or sold to anyone.
Third-party services
The only third-party service this site uses is Google Analytics 4, operated by Google. Google's own privacy policy governs how it handles the data GA4 collects: policies.google.com/privacy.
This site currently has no advertising. If that changes, this policy will be updated with the relevant ad-related disclosures — which ad networks are used, what cookies they set, and how to opt out of personalized advertising — before any ads go live.
Cookies
Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to distinguish visitors and sessions. These cookies don't identify you personally — they're used only for the aggregated analytics described above. No other cookies are set by this site.
Opting out
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking in a few ways:
- Install Google's official Analytics opt-out browser add-on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
- Block or delete analytics cookies in your browser's privacy settings
- Use a browser extension or built-in tracker/ad blocker, most of which block GA4 by default
This site does not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, since there's no industry-standard way to honor them consistently — one of the opt-out methods above is the reliable way to prevent tracking.
Questions
If you have questions about this policy or how the site handles data, get in touch through the contact page.
