1. Overview
Instant Calorie Calculator ("we", "our") operates the free online calorie calculator at instantcaloriecalculator.com. This policy explains what information we do and don't collect when you use the calculator, converter, guides, and contact options on this site. By using the site, you agree to this policy.
2. Calculator inputs stay on your device
Age, gender, height, weight, body-fat percentage, activity level, and target weights you enter are processed entirely in your browser with JavaScript. They are never sent to, stored on, or processed by our servers — we don't operate user accounts or a backend database, so there is nothing to link your inputs to your identity.
If you use "Copy Summary", the text is copied to your own clipboard only.
3. Data we store locally
The only thing we persist is your theme preference (light or dark mode), saved in your browser's localStorage under the key theme. It never leaves your device. Clearing your browser's site data removes it.
We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or third-party analytics on this site.
4. Third-party services
We load fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com) to render the site's typography. When your browser fetches these files, Google may receive standard technical data such as your IP address and user agent, governed by Google's own privacy policy. We do not share any other data with third parties.
If you click a mailto: link or submit the contact form, your email app opens and your message is sent directly to us by your email provider — see "Contact information you send us" below.
5. Contact information you send us
If you email us at contact@instantcaloriecalculator.com, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. We use it only to respond to your inquiry and never sell, rent, or share it with marketers. Please don't send sensitive medical records or other highly personal information.
6. Children's privacy
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Our calculator's validated input ranges begin at age 15; younger users should only use the tool with a parent, guardian, or healthcare professional.
7. Data security and retention
Because we don't collect or store calculator inputs or accounts, there is no user database to breach. Emails you send us are retained only as long as needed to handle your request and then deleted on request. No method of transmission over the internet is perfectly secure, so please use good judgment about what you share.
8. Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (including the EU/UK GDPR and US state privacy laws such as the CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict personal information we hold about you — in practice, this means emails you've sent us. To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site evolves (for example, if we add optional analytics or new features). Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above, and continued use of the site after changes means you accept the revised policy.
