Cookies and Local Storage

We use minimal cookies and local storage for essential functionality only:

  • Essential cookies: Remember your preferred units and settings
  • Performance cookies: Anonymized analytics to improve our service

We use a limited number of trusted third-party services to operate our website:

  • Cloud hosting: Vercel (for website hosting and performance)

All third-party services are carefully vetted and bound by strict data protection agreements.

Your Privacy Rights

GDPR Rights (EU Users)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to:

  • Access: Request information about data we hold about you
  • Rectification: Correct any inaccurate data
  • Erasure: Request deletion of your data
  • Portability: Receive your data in a machine-readable format
  • Objection: Object to processing of your data
  • Restriction: Limit how we process your data

Note: Since we don't collect personal data, most of these rights don't apply to our service.

  • Know what personal information is collected about you
  • Delete personal information we have collected
  • Opt-out of the sale of personal information

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your privacy rights, contact us at privacy@unitconverter.com. We will respond within 30 days and verify your identity before processing any requests.

Data Security

Technical Safeguards

We implement industry-standard security measures:

  • Encryption: All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.3
  • Secure hosting: Infrastructure hosted on secure, certified cloud platforms
  • Access controls: Strict access controls and authentication for our systems
  • Regular audits: Security assessments and vulnerability testing
  • Incident response: Procedures for handling any security incidents

Data Retention

Since we don't collect personal data, there's no personal information to retain. Technical logs are automatically deleted after 90 days. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized, with no way to identify individual users.

Children's Privacy

Our service is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. Since we don't collect personal information from any users, children can safely use our unit converter for educational purposes.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at privacy@unitconverter.com and we will investigate and take appropriate action.

International Data Transfers

Our service is available globally. The minimal technical data we collect may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. We ensure that all international data transfers comply with applicable privacy laws and are protected by appropriate safeguards.

For EU users, we rely on adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms to ensure your data is protected to European standards.

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

  • We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
  • For significant changes, we will provide notice on our website

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
