Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2026. At SmartCalorie, we believe your personal health and nutrition data should remain strictly your own.

Privacy at a Glance

  • Client-Side Processing: All calorie, BMR, and TDEE calculations occur locally in your browser.
  • No Account Required: You can calculate freely without providing an email, name, or login.
  • Zero Data Selling: We never sell, monetize, or share your personal metrics with data brokers.
  • Minimal Storage: Local storage is used strictly to remember your preferred theme and language.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how SmartCalorie ("we", "our", or "the website", accessible at smartcaloriecalculator.com) operates regarding the collection, handling, and protection of information when you use our online calorie calculator and related educational resources.

By accessing or using SmartCalorie, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information You Input (Biometric & Calculation Data)

When utilizing the SmartCalorie calculator, you input non-identifying parameters such as:

  • Biological sex
  • Age
  • Height and weight (in metric or US customary units)
  • Physical activity level and exercise frequency
  • Primary goal (fat loss, maintenance, or muscle gain)

Crucial Distinction: These inputs are processed instantaneously using client-side JavaScript executed directly within your web browser. We do not transmit, log, store, or save these biometric values to any remote server or central database. When you refresh or close your browser tab, your active calculation inputs are wiped clean.

3. Browser Local Storage & Preferences

To provide a seamless user experience, our website uses your browser's native localStorage feature strictly for the following non-sensitive preferences:

  • theme: Remembers whether you prefer Dark Mode or Light Mode across visits.
  • preferred-lang: Remembers your selected language among our 10 supported languages (English, Español, Français, Português, Deutsch, Italiano, हिन्दी, 简体中文, 日本語, 한국어).
  • unit-system: Remembers whether you prefer Metric (kg, cm) or Imperial/US (lbs, ft/in) units.

This data never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser's cache settings.

4. Technical Server Logs & Hosting Telemetry

Like virtually all internet services, our hosting infrastructure automatically records standard technical requests in server logs. This may include:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) address
  • Browser type and version
  • Referring URL and requested pages
  • Date and time stamps of requests

These logs are used exclusively for website security, detecting automated scraping or Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, diagnosing technical errors, and optimizing global Content Delivery Network (CDN) caching performance.

5. Cookies and Third-Party Assets

SmartCalorie does not deploy intrusive tracking cookies, third-party advertising pixels, or behavioral retargeting scripts.

We load typography from Google Fonts to ensure fast, beautiful, and accessible rendering. Google Fonts may log technical font requests in accordance with their privacy policies, but does not deploy persistent tracking cookies.

6. Your Global Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as the European Union under GDPR, or California under CCPA/CPRA), you may have specific rights regarding personal data:

  • Right to Know & Access: Because we do not retain your calculation metrics or create user profiles, we possess no stored personal dossier to provide.
  • Right to Deletion: You can purge all local preferences instantly by clearing your browser's local storage and site data.
  • Do Not Sell My Information: SmartCalorie does not and will never sell personal information.

7. Children's Privacy

SmartCalorie is designed as a general-audience educational tool. We do not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from individuals under the age of 13. Calorie calculations for adolescents and children should always be evaluated under pediatric or registered dietitian supervision.

8. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may periodically revise this Privacy Policy to reflect technical enhancements or statutory updates. Any modifications will be posted directly to this URL with an updated revision date.
