Privacy Policy | BMI Calculator Web - Your Health Data Protection

BMI Calculator Web ("we", "us", or "our") operates the https://bmicalculatorweb.com website (the "Service"), including our free gender-adjusted adult BMI calculator (supporting metric and imperial units), health blog, and related wellness tools. We are committed to protecting your personal information and ensuring transparency in how we handle any data you provide when using our Service.

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of our Service, including those who access our free gender-adjusted BMI calculator, blog, and other related content. By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

We collect two types of information when you use our Service: Non-Personal Information and Personal Information (only if you choose to provide it). We never collect or store sensitive health data on our servers.

Non-Personal Information

When you use our BMI calculator, we may collect non-personal information that does not identify you individually. This includes:

• BMI calculation inputs (height, weight, gender) – this data is processed locally in your browser and never stored on our servers
• Browser type, device type, and operating system
• IP address (used only to determine general geographic location for analytics purposes, never linked to personal data)
• Pages visited on our website and time spent on each page (to improve user experience)

Personal Information

We do not require you to provide personal information to use our BMI calculator. However, if you choose to contact us (via email or other methods), we may collect:

• Your name (if you provide it)
• Your email address (to respond to your inquiry)
• Any other information you choose to include in your message

We use the information we collect solely to improve our Service and provide you with the best possible experience. Specifically:

• Local Processing of BMI Data: Your height, weight, and gender inputs are processed locally in your browser to generate your BMI result. This data is never sent to our servers or stored in any database.
• Analytics: Non-personal information (browser type, IP address, page visits) is used to analyze user behavior, identify trends, and improve the functionality and content of our Service (including our metric/imperial BMI calculator).
• Responding to Inquiries: If you contact us, we use your personal information (name, email) to respond to your questions, feedback, or requests related to our BMI calculator or other services.
• Compliance: We may use or disclose your information if required by law, such as to comply with a court order or legal process.

We never use your information for marketing purposes, and we do not sell, rent, or lease your personal or non-personal information to any third parties for commercial gain.

We take the security of your information seriously and implement reasonable measures to protect it from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure:

• Local Data Processing: As mentioned, your BMI calculation inputs are processed locally in your browser and never stored on our servers, eliminating the risk of server-side data breaches for this information.
• Secure Communication: Our website uses HTTPS encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers (e.g., when you contact us about our BMI calculator).
• Limited Data Retention: If you contact us, we retain your email and message only for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, then delete it unless required by law.
• Security Measures: We maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect any personal information stored on our servers, including access controls and regular security reviews.

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take all reasonable steps to minimize risk for users of our BMI calculator and related services.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties, except in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may use third-party service providers to help operate our website (e.g., analytics tools like Statcounter). These providers have access to non-personal information only and are required to protect it and use it solely to provide services to us (e.g., improving our BMI calculator's performance).
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, or legal process (e.g., a court order) to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others using our BMI calculator service.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., blog references to WHO or CDC guidelines on BMI). This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

You have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

• Access: You may request a copy of any personal information we hold about you (if any) related to your use of our BMI calculator or contact with us.
• Correction: You may request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information we hold about you.
• Deletion: You may request that we delete any personal information we hold about you, unless we are required by law to retain it.
• Withdrawal of Consent: If you have provided consent for us to use your information, you may withdraw that consent at any time (this does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@bmicalculatorweb.com. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe (typically 1-2 business days).

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements related to our BMI calculator service. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information when using our gender-adjusted BMI calculator and related services. Your continued use of our Service after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
