Privacy Policy

ChargeCalcs respects your privacy. This page explains what data is collected, why, and how you can control it. The policy is written in plain English rather than legal boilerplate.

Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

ChargeCalcs uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site — which calculators are popular, where visitors come from, and how long they spend on each page. GA4 collects:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Approximate geographic location (country and region, not precise address)
• Device type, browser, and screen size
• Referral source (how you found the site)

GA4 does not collect your name, email address, or any personal identifiers. IP addresses are anonymised by Google before storage. GA4 scripts load only after you explicitly accept cookies via the consent banner. If you click Reject or close the banner without accepting, no analytics data is collected. You can change your preference at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer.

Cookie consent

When you first visit ChargeCalcs, a consent banner appears with three options: Accept, Reject, or Manage. Your choice is stored in your browser's localStorage (not in a tracking cookie). Closing the banner with the X button does not count as consent — analytics remain disabled until you explicitly accept.

ChargeCalcs uses the following cookies and local storage items:

• cookie-consent (localStorage): Records your Accept/Reject decision. No expiry — persists until you clear browser data or change your preference via Cookie Settings.
• _ga, _ga_* (cookies, set by Google): Analytics cookies set only after explicit acceptance. Expire after 2 years. Used to distinguish unique visitors.

No advertising cookies, no third-party trackers, and no data is sold to anyone.

Cloudflare Turnstile

The feedback form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to prevent automated spam submissions. Turnstile is a privacy-focused alternative to traditional CAPTCHAs. It analyses browser signals (such as mouse movement patterns and page interaction timing) to determine whether a submission is from a human or a bot. Turnstile does not use cookies, does not track you across sites, and does not collect personal information. More details are available in Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Feedback form (Resend)

When you submit the feedback form, your name, email (if provided), message, and the page URL are sent to ChargeCalcs via Resend, an email delivery service. This data is used solely to respond to your feedback. Resend processes the data as described in their privacy policy. Submitted feedback is not stored in a database — it is delivered as an email and retained only in the email inbox.

Calculator data

All calculator inputs and results are processed entirely in your browser. No calculation data is sent to ChargeCalcs servers or any third party. Your vehicle selection, charging inputs, and results remain on your device.

Your rights

Under GDPR (if you are in the UK or EU) and similar regulations, you have the right to:

• Access any personal data held about you
• Request deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent for analytics at any time (via Cookie Settings in the footer)
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (the ICO in the UK)

Since ChargeCalcs collects minimal data (anonymous analytics only, and only with consent), there is very little personal data to access or delete. If you have submitted feedback with an email address, you can request its deletion.
