Privacy Policy & Data Ethics
We believe that calculating tile quantities for your bathroom remodel should not require handing over your personal telephone number or signing up for contractor sales calls.
This Privacy Policy explains what happens when you visit FreeTileCalculator.com, how your browser processes calculation math, and why your project data stays strictly under your control.
Plain-English Privacy Summary
We do not sell, rent, broker, or trade your contact info or room specs to contractor bidding networks (such as Angi, Thumbtack, or HomeAdvisor).
All calculations, shopping lists, and pattern visualizers are 100% accessible without a username, password, email address, or credit card.
Tile width, room length, grout joint dimensions, and material quantities are processed locally in your web browser memory. No project specs are sent to remote databases.
We do not run Meta (Facebook) tracking pixels, TikTok pixels, or invasive cross-site ad-retargeting scripts.
1. Our Core Principle: Local Client-Side Calculation
FreeTileCalculator.com operates on a local-first architectural paradigm. When you input room dimensions (length, width, height), tile sizes (12"×24", 3"×6", etc.), grout joint widths, and layout pattern types (Herringbone, 1/3 Offset, Running Bond), all calculations occur inside your device's web browser using client-side JavaScript.
These parameters are never transmitted across the network to an application database or saved on a backend tracking server. If you disconnect your internet connection while on our site, the calculation algorithms and visual grid planner will continue functioning.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
- Physical Home Addresses or Floor Plans: We do not ask for or catalog residential addresses, lot numbers, or structural blueprints.
- Contractor Bidding Lead Capture: We do not collect phone numbers, zip codes, or homeowner names to broker to contractor matching syndicates.
- Financial or Payment Information: FreeTileCalculator.com is completely free. We do not solicit, accept, or store credit card or banking details.
- Biometric or Precise Geolocation Data: We do not track GPS coordinates or mobile device sensors.
3. Information Handled Automatically (Server Logs & Local Storage)
Like virtually all modern web properties, when your browser requests web assets from our servers, standard diagnostic data is temporarily processed:
- Standard Web Server Logs: IP address (anonymized/truncated for DDoS mitigation and server error debugging), browser type, referring URL, and timestamp. Logs are automatically rotated and purged periodically.
- HTML5 LocalStorage: We may store your preferred interface theme (Light or Dark mode) or preferred unit system (Feet/Inches vs. Metric) in your browser's local storage key-value store. This data never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time in your browser settings.
4. Third-Party Infrastructure & Assets
We minimize external dependencies to safeguard your browsing experience:
- Web Font Delivery: We load typography (Plus Jakarta Sans) via Google Fonts with preconnect headers. Google does not collect credentials or set cookies for web font requests.
- Content Delivery Network (CDN): Our static HTML, CSS, and SVG assets are globally cached and delivered through high-security edge networks to ensure rapid page load speeds.
5. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA) Notice
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have specific statutory rights:
- Right to Know & Access: You may request disclosure of any personal information collected. (Because we do not store personal records, our response confirms no records exist).
- Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: We do not sell or share consumer personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We never have, and we never will.
- Non-Discrimination: We provide the exact same high-speed calculation tools, visualizer grids, and printable shopping sheets to all users without discrimination.
6. European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
For visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland:
Our lawful basis for processing basic server log technical data is our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) in maintaining website security, detecting malicious traffic, and ensuring reliable uptime. You possess the right to object, request erasure, or seek confirmation of any data. Because our tools operate client-side without user accounts, we retain no identifiable dossiers on individuals.
