Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 17, 2026
Website: calcroofpitch.com
This Privacy Policy explains how CalcRoofPitch.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy.
1. Information We Collect
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit our site, we may automatically collect:
- IP address and general geographic location (country/region level)
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring website (how you arrived at our site)
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
This information is collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools. We do not collect your name, email address, or any personal identifying information unless you voluntarily provide it through our contact form.
Information You Provide
If you contact us through our contact page, we collect only the information you choose to provide (such as your name and email address). This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is never sold or shared with third parties.
2. Cookies
Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve your experience and to serve relevant advertisements.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential cookies: Required for the website to function correctly (e.g., caching cookies from LiteSpeed).
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site (Google Analytics).
- Advertising cookies: Used by Google AdSense to serve relevant ads based on your browsing activity.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling advertising cookies does not stop ads from appearing — it means ads may be less relevant to your interests.
3. Google AdSense and Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings.
For more information on how Google uses data when you use our website, visit: google.com/policies/privacy/partners.
4. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects data such as pages visited, time on site, and approximate location. This data is anonymized and aggregated — we cannot identify individual visitors.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to external websites (such as building code resources, manufacturer sites, or roofing associations). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.
6. How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected to:
- Operate and improve our website and calculators
- Understand how visitors use our tools
- Display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
- Respond to contact form inquiries
- Monitor site security and prevent abuse
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.
7. Data Retention
Analytics data is retained for 26 months in Google Analytics (standard setting). Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to resolve your inquiry. We do not store calculator inputs — all calculations run locally in your browser and no calculation data is sent to our servers.
8. Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR (EU/UK), CCPA (California), or other privacy laws, including:
- Right to access: Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
- Right to erasure: Request deletion of your personal data.
- Right to opt out: Opt out of personalized advertising (see Section 3).
