Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to PastryCal ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our Recipe Calculator website.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

We want to be clear about what we do NOT collect:

  • Personal Information: We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information
  • Recipe Data: We do not collect or store your recipes, ingredient lists, or cost calculations
  • Financial Information: We do not collect payment information or financial data
  • Location Data: We do not track your geographical location

3. Local Storage

Our website uses your browser's local storage to:

  • Store your ingredient lists and calculator entries locally on your device
  • Remember your preferences and data between browser sessions
  • Provide a seamless user experience without requiring account creation

Important: This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers or any third parties.

4. How Your Data is Handled

All data you enter into the Recipe Calculator remains exclusively on your local device:

  • Ingredient names and prices are stored in your browser's local storage
  • Recipe calculations are performed locally in your browser
  • PDF exports are generated locally and downloaded directly to your device
  • No recipe data is sent to external servers for processing or storage

PastryCal is provided for informational purposes only and does not assume responsibility for financial losses or recipe outcomes.

5. Third-Party Services

We use minimal third-party services:

  • jsPDF Library: Used locally in your browser for PDF generation. No data is sent to jsPDF servers
  • Web Hosting: Our website hosting provider may collect standard server logs (IP address, browser type, access times) as part of normal web server operation. These logs are maintained by the hosting provider and are not used by PastryCal to identify individuals.

6. Google Analytics and Advertising

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited, time spent, and browser type. This data is aggregated and does not identify individuals.

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by adjusting your Google Ad Settings.

Our website may also display ads served by Google AdSense or other providers. These third parties may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can manage ad personalization through your Google account settings.

7. Data Security

Since we do not collect or store your data on our servers, your information's security depends on:

  • Your device's security measures
  • Your browser's security features
  • Your local network security

We recommend keeping your browser updated and using standard security practices to protect your local data. While we take reasonable measures, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your local data.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

Your data remains in your browser's local storage until:

  • You clear your browser's local storage
  • You use the "Clear All" functionality within the calculator
  • Your browser automatically clears storage based on its settings
  • You uninstall or reset your browser

You have complete control over your data retention.

9. Your Rights

Since we don't collect your personal data, you have full control over your information:

  • Access: You can view all your stored data directly in the calculator
  • Correction: You can modify any data directly in the interface
  • Deletion: You can delete individual items or clear all data using the provided buttons
  • Export: You can export your recipes as PDF files

10. Children's Privacy

Our website does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we do not collect personal data at all, no parental consent is required. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
