Information we collect

Calculator and page events

We may record event names, tool ids, page paths, referrers, timestamps, country from network metadata, and limited interaction payloads for product analytics.

Pseudonymous session id

The analytics client can store a pseudonymous session id in local storage so repeated actions in the same browser can be counted without requiring login.

Browser and network data

Server logs, Cloudflare, Google, and Microsoft services may process technical data such as user agent, IP-derived region, device signals, and request metadata.
