Privacy Policy

Last updated:

Template notice: This is a general-purpose privacy policy template covering GDPR, CCPA, and Google AdSense disclosure norms. Replace bracketed placeholders (business name, contact email, jurisdiction) with your actual details, and have it reviewed by a lawyer before relying on it — this is not legal advice.

1. Who we are

BMI Calculator ("we," "us," "our") operates this website (the "Site"), which provides a free Body Mass Index calculation tool. This policy explains what information we collect, how it's used, and the choices and rights available to you.

2. Information the calculator itself collects

The BMI calculator runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. The height and weight figures you enter are used only to compute a result on your screen. They are not transmitted to our servers, stored in a database, or logged by us in any form.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

Like most websites, we and our third-party partners use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • Essential cookies — to remember your cookie-consent choice.
  • Analytics cookies — to understand how visitors use the Site, if analytics tools are enabled.
  • Advertising cookies — used by Google AdSense and its partners to show ads and measure performance, as described below.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how the Site functions or how relevant the ads you see are.

4. Google AdSense & advertising

This Site is monetized in part through Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.

  • You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • You can also visit www.aboutads.info to opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising.
  • For users in the EEA/UK, ads may be served under Google's EU user consent framework; the cookie banner on this Site lets you decline non-essential cookies.

We do not control the cookies placed by Google or other advertising partners, and this policy does not cover their use of your information — please review Google's own Privacy & Terms for details.

5. Analytics

We may use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic and usage patterns. These services may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the Site. This data is typically aggregated and not used to identify you personally.

6. Information you provide directly

If you contact us via the Contact page or by email, we collect the information you choose to share (such as your name and email address) solely to respond to your message. We do not sell this information.

7. Children's privacy

This Site is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can address it.

8. Your rights under GDPR (EEA/UK users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction or deletion of your personal data.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Request data portability.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent (e.g., non-essential cookies).
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

9. Your rights under CCPA/CPRA (California residents)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold.
  • Request deletion of personal information we hold about you.
  • Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (including for cross-context behavioral advertising).
  • Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details on our Contact page.

10. Data retention

We retain information collected through the Contact page only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and comply with legal obligations. Calculator inputs are never retained, as they are never transmitted to us.

11. International data transfers

This Site may be accessed from around the world. Where our service providers (such as Google) process data outside your home country, they do so under their own applicable safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses for EEA/UK data).

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
