Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Welcome to the Calories to Joules Converter, a simple, client-side web utility. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding any information related to your use of the tool. We are strongly committed to user privacy and operate on a strict privacy-first principle. Because the entire application runs locally in your browser, we do not collect, store, transmit, or process any personal data or user content.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
The Calories to Joules Converter is designed to perform all calculations entirely on your device. We do not collect:
- Personal Identifiable Information (PII) such as names, email addresses, or any contact details.
- Usage or Technical Data including IP addresses, browser versions, device types, or location information.
- Input Data — any values you enter in the Calories or Joules fields are processed locally and never leave your browser.
- Analytics or Tracking Data — we do not use cookies, Google Analytics, pixels, or any tracking technologies.
All conversion operations happen client-side only. Your entered values remain on your device and are not sent to any server.
3. How the Tool Works
When you use the converter:
- You type values into the Calories or Joules input fields.
- The tool instantly performs the calculation using the exact factor of 1 kcal = 4184 J directly in your browser.
- Results are displayed with five decimal places using JavaScript running locally.
- No data is transmitted over the internet at any point.
The application is completely stateless. Refreshing the page or closing the browser clears all temporary data automatically.
4. Third-Party Services
We do not integrate any third-party services that could collect information. The site uses Bootstrap via CDN for styling only. No analytics, advertising, or external scripts that track user behavior are present. Any interaction with your browser’s native features (such as copying results) stays entirely under your control.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Calories to Joules Converter does not use cookies or any form of tracking technology. Your session is fully stateless, and no persistent data is stored.
6. Data Security
Since we collect no data, there is no risk of data breach from our side. We still recommend following general good practices:
- Use up-to-date browsers and operating systems.
- Avoid entering sensitive information if you are using a shared device.
- Clear your browser cache regularly if desired.
7. Children’s Privacy
This tool is suitable for general audiences and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
8. International Users
Because no personal data is collected or processed, the tool complies by design with major privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and similar laws worldwide.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. Any changes will be reflected on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the converter after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
