Privacy policy

What we collect

Wattcalc does not require an account, login or email address. The values you enter into a calculator stay in your browser and are not transmitted to our servers.

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used in aggregate — pages viewed, devices, country, broad referral sources and how long people spend on the site. We do not collect names, addresses, phone numbers or financial details.

Cookies and similar technologies

Wattcalc uses a small number of cookies and local storage entries:

• Google Analytics 4 sets cookies (commonly _ga and _ga_*) so it can distinguish unique visitors and sessions.
• Google AdSense may set cookies to serve and measure ads, including via the Google Display Network. You can review and adjust ad personalisation at Google Ad Settings.

You can disable cookies in your browser, but parts of the site (and ads) may not work as expected.

Advertising

Wattcalc is funded by display advertising via Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. For more information, see Google’s advertising policy.

Data sharing

We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing. The only third parties that receive data through Wattcalc are the analytics and advertising providers listed above, and only for the purposes stated.

Your rights

If you are an Australian resident, you have rights under the Australian Privacy Principles, including the right to ask what personal information we hold about you and to request correction. To exercise these rights, email privacy@wattcalc.com.au.
