AgeCalc Pro ("we", "our", "us") operates smartagecalcpro.com (the "Service"), a collection of free online calculators and reference tools. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you visit or use the Service.

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

• Calculator inputs: dates, numbers, or other values you enter into a calculator are processed in your browser and on our server only to generate the requested result, and are not stored beyond what is needed to render the page.
• Information you provide directly: such as your name, email address, and message when you use our Contact form or otherwise correspond with us.
• Automatically collected information: standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring URL, and approximate location, collected via server logs and analytics/advertising tools.
• Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored on your device to remember preferences (such as light/dark theme), measure site usage, and support advertising, as described in our Cookie Policy.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the calculators and content on the Service;
• Respond to inquiries submitted through the Contact form;
• Understand aggregate usage patterns (e.g. which calculators are most used) so we can improve the site;
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or abuse;
• Display advertising, including personalized advertising where permitted, to support the free operation of the Service.

4. Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies

We use Google AdSense to display advertising on the Service. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you 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 (adssettings.google.com).

You may also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices or, in the European Union, www.youronlinechoices.eu.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may show our ads on sites across the internet. We and our third-party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies (such as browser cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the Google-provided advertising cookies) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on someone's past visits to the Service.

5. Analytics

We may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to help us understand how visitors use the Service. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, time on site, and general geographic location. This information is used in aggregate and is not used to personally identify individual visitors by us.
