This Privacy Policy explains how PC Bottleneck Calculators (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit https://pcbottleneckcalculators.com/ (the “Site”).

This page is for general information and transparency. It is not legal advice.

You may choose to share information with us when you contact us. For example:

  • Messages and contact details you send via email or a contact form (if available), such as your name, email address, and the content of your message.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, certain data may be collected automatically, including:

  • IP address (often used to approximate general location such as city or region, not a precise address)
  • Device and browser details (device type, operating system, browser type, screen size, language)
  • Usage data (pages viewed, time on page, clicks, referring/exit pages, basic interactions)
  • Approximate location data derived from IP (not GPS)
  • Log data (timestamps, requested URLs, error logs, performance diagnostics)

Calculator Inputs and Results

Our tools are designed to run in your browser. Depending on how the Site is implemented:

  • Your calculator selections and results may be processed on your device (client-side) to generate outputs.
  • The Site may use local storage (for example, local Storage) to remember non-sensitive preferences like theme (dark/light mode).

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data through the calculator.
