Data Protection, GDPR & CCPA Compliance

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 24, 2026 • Last Updated: September 24, 2026 • Entity: Area of Circle Calculator Ltd.

Our Non-Negotiable Privacy Promise: Zero Calculation Telemetry

When you use our circle calculators, your numbers never leave your browser. Every dimension you enter — radius, diameter, circumference, sector angle, or pipe thickness — is processed strictly on your local device via client-side JavaScript. We do not transmit, log, record, or sell any of your computational inputs or outputs.

1. Client-Side Technical Architecture

Area of Circle Calculator is built using modern Static Site Generation (SSG). This means that all interactive geometry components, formula solvers, and SVG graphics run entirely within your local browser runtime (e.g. Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge).

When you adjust a slider, enter a numeric measurement, or toggle units (e.g., from centimeters to inches), the computations are performed locally in your machine’s memory via native client-side JavaScript. There is no remote Application Programming Interface (API) receiving your mathematical figures.

2. Information We Never Collect

In accordance with our privacy-by-design engineering principles, we explicitly do not collect, capture, store, or profile:

× Calculation Values

Radii, diameters, circumferences, pipe schedules, or area inputs.

× Financial & Payment Data

No credit card numbers, billing addresses, or bank accounts (the tool is 100% free).

× Precise Geolocation

We do not request GPS, sensor coordinates, or precise location telemetry.

× Biometric & Device Identity

No hardware serials, device fingerprinting, or biometric identification.

3. Information We May Collect Automatically

Like virtually all web applications hosted on global cloud infrastructure (such as Vercel and global Content Delivery Networks), our hosting servers automatically record standard, temporary HTTP server access logs. This technical telemetry may include:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) Address: Used strictly for geographic edge routing, regional language fallback, and automated mitigation of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) threats.
  • Browser & Operating System: Browser type, engine version, and screen resolution to diagnose UI rendering compatibility.
  • Referring URLs & Access Timestamps: The web page that directed you to our website and the precise time of the page load.

Legal Basis under GDPR: Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f)) for ensuring operational security, network integrity, and performance optimization.

4. Direct Contact & Support Inquiries

If you voluntarily reach out to us via electronic mail or submit an inquiry through our Contact Form, we receive the information you choose to provide (typically your name, email address, and the specific contents of your correspondence).

Strict Purpose Limitation: We use your contact information exclusively to answer your question, investigate a reported mathematical discrepancy, or process your feedback. We do not sell your email address to marketing list brokers or enroll you in unsolicited promotional newsletters.

5. Cookies & Local Browser Storage

We prioritize lightweight web performance and do not deploy intrusive third-party cross-site tracking cookies.

Local Storage (localStorage): Our calculator may use your browser’s native local storage feature solely to remember your preferred settings — such as your last-selected units (in vs. cm) or your preferred decimal output precision (e.g. 4 decimals). This data remains strictly on your device and is never sent across the internet.

Managing Cookies: You have full control over cookie and storage permissions through your web browser settings. You can clear existing cookies or disable storage entirely at any time without losing the core calculation functionality of our tools.

6. European Union (GDPR) & UK Data Protection Rights

If you are an individual located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you are entitled to comprehensive data privacy rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and UK Data Protection Act:

  • Right of Access (Art. 15): Request confirmation and a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to Rectification (Art. 16): Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete contact records.
  • Right to Erasure (Art. 17): Request permanent deletion of your direct support communications (“Right to be Forgotten”).
  • Right to Object & Restrict (Art. 18 & 21): Object to or restrict specific forms of technical data processing.

To exercise any of these statutory rights, please email our Data Protection team at semanticsearch.ai@gmail.com. We respond to verified requests within thirty (30) calendar days at zero fee to you.

7. California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents are provided with explicit disclosures regarding personal information:

Notice of Non-Sale: Area of Circle Calculator Ltd. does not sell, rent, release, disclose, disseminate, make available, or transfer consumers’ personal information to third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration. We also do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

California residents maintain the statutory right to request disclosure of categories of data collected, request deletion of personal information, and will never experience discriminatory pricing or degraded service for exercising their privacy rights.

8. Children’s Privacy (COPPA & Classroom Safety)

Area of Circle Calculator is widely used by elementary, middle school, high school, and university students for geometry coursework. We take children’s online privacy with paramount seriousness.

In full accordance with the United States Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and European child protection regulations, we do not require accounts, logins, or personal details to use our calculators. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or maintain personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union).

9. Technical Data Security & Encryption

We employ enterprise-standard security controls to safeguard data transit and site integrity:

  • Strict HTTPS / TLS 1.3 Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using modern high-cipher SSL/TLS certificates.
  • Modern Security Headers: Our servers enforce HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), Content Security Policy (CSP), and anti-clickjacking frames (X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN).
  • Edge Firewalls: Automated Web Application Firewalls (WAF) inspect traffic for anomaly spikes and block malicious intrusion attempts.

10. Data Retention Schedules

Because we do not store user calculation data, there is no measurement data retention. Automated server network logs are retained only for as long as necessary to ensure network stability and forensic security (typically rotated and purged within 30 to 90 days). If you send us support correspondence, emails are retained for up to 12 months to maintain customer service context, after which they are securely archived or deleted.

11. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect advancements in our technology, regulatory changes, or expanded mathematical tools. When modifications take place, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document will be amended accordingly. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our data protection practices.

12. Data Protection Officer & Inquiries
