This Privacy Policy explains how PocketWiseLab (“we,” “us”) handles information when you visit pocketwiselab.com (the “Site”). We aim to collect as little information as possible.

Information we collect

When you email us

If you email us at contact@pocketwiselab.com, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and whatever you write. We use it only to read and reply to your message. The Site does not have a contact form or accounts.

Calculator inputs

Our calculators run entirely in your web browser. The numbers you enter are not sent to or stored by us. If analytics is enabled (see below), we may record that a calculator was started or completed, but never the values you entered.

Information collected automatically

Our hosting provider processes standard technical information, such as IP addresses, browser type, and the pages requested, to deliver the Site securely and protect it against abuse.

If we enable Google Analytics, it collects information about how the Site is used — for example pages viewed, links clicked (including affiliate links), approximate location derived from your IP address, device and browser type, and the website that referred you. Analytics and advertising scripts are not loaded until you agree in our cookie banner, unless this policy states otherwise.

Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and advertising. When these are in use, a cookie banner lets you accept or decline them, and you can change your choice at any time with the “Cookie preferences” link at the bottom of every page. Your choice is stored in your own browser. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal and you haven’t made another choice, we treat it as a request to decline analytics and advertising cookies. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Advertising

We may display ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info/choices.

Some links on the Site may be affiliate links. When you click one, the retailer or affiliate network may set cookies to record that you came from our Site so we can be credited for a qualifying purchase. Their handling of your information is governed by their own privacy policies. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

How we use information

  • To respond to your messages and correction reports
  • To understand and improve our content and calculators
  • To display advertising and measure affiliate referrals, where enabled
  • To keep the Site secure and protect it against abuse
  • To comply with legal obligations

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only with service providers that help us run the Site — such as our web hosting provider, our email forwarding provider, and, where enabled, Google for analytics and advertising — and when required by law. Under some U.S. state laws, allowing advertising cookies may be treated as “selling” or “sharing” personal information for targeted advertising; you can opt out at any time by choosing “Decline” in the cookie banner or by enabling Global Privacy Control in your browser.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of targeted advertising. To make a request, email contact@pocketwiselab.com with the subject “Privacy request.” We will respond as required by applicable law.

Data retention and security

We keep emails only as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping. Where analytics is enabled, its data is kept according to our Google Analytics retention settings. The Site is served over HTTPS, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed.
