CalcMaster Privacy Policy

Information We May Process

The information involved in your use of CalcMaster depends on how you interact with the website. Some information may be supplied by you directly, while other technical information may be generated when your browser communicates with our website and hosting infrastructure.

Information You Choose to Provide

If you contact us by email or through a contact feature, you may voluntarily provide information such as:

• Your name, if you choose to provide it;
• Your email address;
• The subject of your enquiry;
• The content of your message;
• Any other information you voluntarily include.

Please do not send unnecessary sensitive health information, medical records, identification documents, financial details or other confidential information through a general website enquiry.

Technical Information

As with most websites, our hosting, security or server systems may process technical information required to deliver and protect the website. Depending on the services in use, this can include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address;
• Browser and device information;
• Date and time of requests;
• Requested pages or resources;
• Basic server, security or error-log information;
• Referring information made available by your browser.

Such data can be necessary for website delivery, security, troubleshooting, fraud prevention and maintaining reliable service.

Health & Fitness Calculator Inputs

CalcMaster offers calculators that may request values such as age, height, weight, body measurements, activity level, exercise duration, heart-rate information, running distance or lifting performance.

These values are requested for the purpose of performing the calculation selected by the user. Calculator inputs should be treated as measurements used to generate a mathematical result, not as a request for your medical record or formal identity.

Unless a calculator specifically states otherwise, there is generally no reason to enter your name, address, NHS number, medical records or other identifying information into a calculator field.

How Information May Be Used

Where applicable, information may be processed for purposes connected with operating CalcMaster, including:

• Providing and displaying requested website pages;
• Operating website and calculator functionality;
• Responding to messages and enquiries;
• Diagnosing technical problems;
• Maintaining website security;
• Preventing abusive or malicious activity;
• Improving website usability and functionality;
• Meeting legal obligations where applicable.

We do not intend to use information collected through ordinary calculator use to provide a medical diagnosis or create a personalised clinical profile.

Legal Bases for Processing

Where UK data-protection law applies and a legal basis is required, the appropriate basis depends on the particular processing activity.

Processing may, as applicable, rely on legitimate interests such as operating, securing and improving the website; consent where consent is legally required; taking steps at your request; or compliance with a legal obligation.

Where consent is the applicable legal basis, you may generally withdraw that consent for future processing, subject to applicable law and the nature of the processing.

Cookies & Similar Technologies

Cookies are small pieces of information that a website can store or access through a visitor’s browser. Some cookies may be necessary for technical website functions, security, preferences or other features.

CalcMaster may use cookies or similar technologies where required by the website’s active features and services. The exact cookies present can change when website functionality, plugins or third-party services change.

Where applicable law requires consent before non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used, appropriate consent mechanisms should be provided. You can also use your browser settings to control or delete cookies, although blocking essential technologies may affect some website functionality.

Service Providers & Third Parties

Operating a website can involve service providers such as hosting companies, content-delivery systems, security services, email providers or technical infrastructure providers. Such providers may process limited information where necessary to provide their services.

If you contact us through email, your email provider and the receiving email service may process the information contained in your message according to their own terms and privacy practices.

Our website may also contain links to third-party websites. Visiting an external website takes you outside CalcMaster, and its own privacy policy will govern how that website handles information.

We encourage you to review the privacy information of external services before providing them with personal information.

Analytics, Advertising & Embedded Services

Websites can use analytics services to understand traffic, advertising platforms to display advertisements, or embedded services to provide third-party content. Such services can involve cookies, device identifiers or related technical information.

This Privacy Policy should accurately reflect the technologies actually enabled on CalcMaster. If analytics, advertising, remarketing, social-media pixels or similar non-essential services are introduced, we will aim to update the relevant privacy and cookie information and implement any consent controls required by applicable law.

You should not interpret this section as a statement that every type of advertising or analytics technology described above is currently enabled on the website.

How Long Information Is Kept

Where we hold personal information, it should be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to security, operational and legal requirements.

For example, contact correspondence may be retained while an enquiry is being handled and for an appropriate period afterwards where necessary for record-keeping or follow-up. Technical logs may have separate retention periods determined by hosting, security or infrastructure requirements.

Retention periods can vary depending on the nature of the information and why it is processed.

Information Security

We aim to use reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the website and information being handled. However, no internet transmission, website, hosting platform or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should therefore avoid sending unnecessary confidential information through ordinary email or general contact forms. If you believe you have identified a security issue affecting CalcMaster, please contact us so the concern can be reviewed.

Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location, the type of information involved and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal data. Under UK data-protection law, these may include, where applicable:

These rights are not absolute and may depend on the circumstances. We may need enough information to understand and appropriately verify a request before taking action.

Complaints About Data Protection

If you have a concern about how personal information relating to you has been handled, you may contact us using the details provided below so that the issue can be reviewed.

If UK data-protection law applies to your situation, you may also have the right to raise a concern with the UK’s supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Information about the ICO and data-protection rights is available from its official website at ico.org.uk .

International Data Transfers

Some website, hosting, email or other technology providers may process information using infrastructure located outside the United Kingdom. Where personal data is transferred internationally and applicable law requires safeguards, appropriate mechanisms should be used by the relevant organisations.

The specific location of processing can depend on the providers and services currently being used by CalcMaster.

Children’s Privacy

CalcMaster provides general health, fitness and mathematical information and is not designed as a service for collecting personal information from children.

Children and young people should not submit unnecessary personal or sensitive information through the website. Health calculator reference ranges may also differ by age, so an adult calculator should not automatically be assumed to be appropriate for a child.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information that requires attention, please contact us with enough information to identify the issue without sending additional unnecessary sensitive data.

Do Not Send Medical Records by Email

CalcMaster is not a healthcare provider and our general contact email is not intended for clinical communications. Please do not send medical records, diagnostic reports, prescriptions, NHS numbers or detailed personal medical histories to us.

If you require advice concerning symptoms, diagnosis, medication or treatment, contact an appropriately qualified healthcare professional rather than sending sensitive medical information to CalcMaster.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, its services, legal requirements or our information-handling practices change.

Material changes should be reflected on this page and the “Last Updated” date may be changed accordingly. We encourage visitors to review the current policy periodically, particularly when new website features are introduced.
