Privacy Policy
This page explains what BoxVolumeCalculator.com collects, what our partners collect, and what you can do about it.
The short version
The calculators on this site run entirely in your browser. We don't send your inputs (dimensions, units, calculations) to any server, and we don't store them. To keep the site free, we use Google Analytics to understand traffic, and we show advertising through Adsterra. Those services may set cookies and process limited information about your visit, as described below.
What we collect directly
Nothing about your calculations. Your inputs and results are computed in your browser and stay there. If you share a calculation by URL (e.g. ?l=30&w=20&h=15), that data lives in the link itself — not on our servers.
We don't ask for accounts, names, or email addresses. We don't operate a login system.
Third-party services
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to measure traffic and understand which pages and tools are useful. Google Analytics collects:
- Pages you visit on this site and the order you visit them
- Time spent on each page
- Approximate location (typically city-level), derived from your IP address
- Device type, browser, operating system
- Referring website (where you came from)
Google Analytics may set cookies in your browser. See Google's privacy policy and how Google Analytics handles data for details. You can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on to opt out of all Google Analytics tracking.
Adsterra
We use Adsterra as our advertising partner. One ad unit is loaded per page, below the calculator. Adsterra and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver and measure ads. Adsterra publishes its data practices and opt-out options at adsterra.com; the privacy policy is linked from the footer of that site.
We do not currently use Google AdSense. If that changes, this page will be updated before any AdSense code is added.
Cookies
Google Analytics sets first-party cookies on this domain (named _ga and _ga_<id>) to tell repeat visits apart. They hold a randomly generated identifier, not anything you typed into a calculator. Adsterra and its partners may set their own third-party cookies, governed by their privacy policies. We set no cookies of our own beyond those, and the calculators themselves need none.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect the calculator functionality, since the calculators run in your browser and don't depend on cookies.
Embedded calculator (iframe)
If you embed our calculator on your own site via the embed widget, the same rules apply: calculations happen in the visitor's browser, and Google Analytics / ad partners may load. Be sure to mention this in your own site's privacy policy if you embed our widget.
Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)
If you're in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, you have rights regarding personal data collected about you. Because we collect almost nothing ourselves, most requests will involve our advertising and analytics partners directly:
- Access / deletion of analytics data: Use the Google Analytics opt-out tool linked above, or contact Google directly.
- Opt out of personalized ads: Use YourAdChoices, or your browser's tracking-protection settings.
- "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" (CCPA): We do not sell personal information. Our ad partners may share data with their networks; use their opt-out tools to limit this.
To contact us about any privacy concern, email contactus@boxvolumecalculator.com or write to us at the address on the contact page.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. For material changes, we'll add a notice on the site for a reasonable period.
