Information We Collect

Calculator Input Data

When you use our calculators, you enter numerical values such as lab results, measurements, and clinical parameters. This data is processed locally in your browser to perform calculations and is not transmitted to our servers.

Local Storage Data

We store preferences on your device using browser localStorage, including favorite calculators and unit conversions, unit preferences (metric/imperial), theme preference (light/dark), recently used calculators, and recently used unit conversions. This data never leaves your device.

Technical Information

We may collect technical information such as browser type, device type, approximate usage patterns, and page interactions through analytics and advertising services. We do not ask for patient identifiers or store calculator inputs on our servers.

How We Use Information

Calculator Functionality

Input data is used solely to perform medical calculations and display results. Data is processed entirely in your browser.

AI-Powered Explanations

When you request AI clinical explanations, your calculator inputs and results are sent to third-party AI service providers to generate contextual explanations. No patient identifiers should be included in these requests.

Service Improvement

Usage data helps us understand which calculators are most used and how to improve the user experience. Advertising services may use cookies or similar technologies as described in the Third-Party Services and Cookies sections below.

Third-Party Services

Our AI clinical explanation feature uses third-party AI models to generate content. When you use this feature, your calculator data is processed by these providers according to their respective privacy policies.

Google Analytics and Google AdSense

We use Google services, including Google Analytics and Google AdSense, to measure site usage and support advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.

No Data Selling

We do not sell, rent, or share patient information. Google advertising cookies and partner technologies may be used for ad personalization, frequency capping, reporting, and fraud prevention.

Data Storage & Security

Client-Side Storage

All user preferences and settings are stored locally on your device using browser localStorage. We do not maintain user accounts or store personal data on our servers.

Your Rights & Choices

Clear Local Data

You can clear all locally stored data at any time through your browser settings. This will reset preferences, favorites, recent calculator history, and recent unit conversion history.
