Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how kW to Amps (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you use our electrical calculators and browse our site.

1) What we do by design

• No account is required to use the calculators.
• kW, amps, voltage, power factor, and similar inputs are used solely to compute results. They are processed in your browser or transiently on our servers and are not used to identify you as an individual.
• We aim to keep data collection minimal, transparent, and technical rather than personal.

2) Information we may collect

• Technical & usage data: such as page views, device type, browser, approximate region, referrer, and interaction patterns. This helps us understand which tools are used and how to improve them.
• Server logs: IP address, user-agent, timestamps, and visited URLs may be logged for security, anti-abuse, debugging, and reliability.
• Contact messages: if you use the contact page, we collect the details you submit (such as name, email, and message) to reply and keep basic records.

What we do not intentionally collect by default

• No passwords or user accounts related to this tool.
• No payment card details via the calculator itself.
• No government ID numbers.
• No continuous tracking across unrelated third-party sites by design.

3) How we use the information

• To operate and improve the kW to Amps and related calculators.
• To monitor performance, detect outages, and protect against abuse or attacks.
• To respond to your questions, bug reports, or feature requests.
• To understand aggregate usage trends (e.g., which system types are popular).

4) Legal bases (EEA/UK users)

• Legitimate interests for basic analytics, security, and service improvement.
• Consent where required (for example, if we ever introduce optional non-essential cookies or newsletters with clear opt-in).

5) Cookies and Tracking Technologies

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

We use "cookies" and similar technologies, such as "Local Storage," to enhance your experience on our website.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Local Storage allows us to save data locally on your browser. This is similar to cookies but offers greater privacy as the data is not sent to the server with every request.

2. How We Use These Technologies

We use these technologies for two primary purposes:

• Strictly Necessary (Functionality): These are essential for the website to function properly. We use Local Storage to remember your consent preferences so you do not see the cookie popup on every page visit.
• Key used: cookie_consent
• Purpose: Stores your decision ("granted" or "denied") regarding analytics tracking.
• Analytics (Performance): We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website (e.g., which pages are visited most often). This helps us improve our content and user experience.
• Cookies used: _ga, _ga_[ID]
• Purpose: Distinguishes unique users and persists session data.

3. Google Analytics & Consent Mode

We value your privacy and have implemented Google Consent Mode. This means:

• Default State: When you visit our site, Google Analytics cookies are blocked by default. No personal data is stored or processed until you explicitly provide consent.
• Anonymized Signals: Before you give consent, Google may receive basic, anonymized signals ("pings") to confirm the site is working, but these are not linked to your identity.
• Activation: Analytics cookies are only activated if you click "Accept" on our consent banner.

4. Managing Your Preferences

You have the right to accept or reject cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" link located in the footer of our website. This will reset your choice and allow you to opt-out of tracking.

Additionally, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality may be restricted.

6) Sharing of information

• We do not sell your personal information.
• We may share limited information with trusted service providers (e.g., hosting, security, analytics), strictly for operating and protecting the site, under appropriate confidentiality and data protection terms.
• We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, or the integrity of our service.

7) Data retention

Logs and analytics data are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for security, diagnostics, and trends. Contact messages are kept as long as needed to manage communication and record-keeping.

8) Your rights & choices

• You can use the calculators without registering an account.
• Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal data. To make a request, contact us via the contact page.
