4. What We May Collect

When you visit our website, certain technical information is automatically collected by our hosting infrastructure and analytics services:

4.1 Technical / Usage Data

• IP address — recorded by web servers; typically anonymised before storage

This data is collected in aggregate and anonymised wherever possible. We cannot identify you personally from this information alone.

4.2 Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies and browser localStorage to improve your experience. See our Cookie Policy for full details. In summary:

• Analytics cookies — to understand how visitors use the site (e.g. Google Analytics)
• Functional localStorage — to remember recently used calculators and your preferences (stored locally in your browser only, never sent to us)

• To understand how the site is being used and which calculators are most valuable
• To monitor and improve site performance, reliability, and speed
• To identify and fix technical errors
• To plan future content and features based on usage patterns
• To ensure the security and integrity of the website

We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or any automated decision-making.

6. Legal Basis for Processing (UK & EU Users)

Under UK GDPR and EU GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — for analytics and performance monitoring. We have assessed that our interest in understanding site usage is proportionate and does not override your fundamental rights.
• Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) — for non-essential analytics cookies, where you have accepted via our cookie banner.

You may object to processing based on legitimate interests at any time by contacting us.

7. Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services which have their own privacy policies:

Where analytics are used, we have enabled IP anonymisation to reduce the personal data processed. We recommend reviewing these third-party policies for full detail.

8. Data Retention

We retain data only for as long as necessary:

• Analytics data — retained for up to 26 months in aggregate, anonymised form, then deleted
• Server logs — typically retained for 30–90 days for security monitoring
• LocalStorage data — stored on your device and under your control; cleared when you clear browser data
• Cookie consent preference — stored in localStorage on your device for 12 months

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. The site uses HTTPS encryption for all connections. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Users and Data Transfers

MedicalCalculators.net is accessible globally. If you are located outside the UK or EU, your information may be processed in countries with different data protection laws. By using this site, you acknowledge this. Where analytics data is transferred internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions).
