Privacy Policy

About this privacy policy

This Privacy Policy explains how EnergyCalc UK handles information when you use our website, calculators and guides.

We aim to collect only the information necessary to operate, understand and improve the website.

Calculator inputs

EnergyCalc UK calculators perform calculations directly in your browser.

Values you enter into calculator fields, such as electricity rates, appliance energy usage or usage frequency, are not intentionally stored by EnergyCalc UK or sent to us as part of the calculation.

The website currently does not require visitors to create an account in order to use the calculators.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use EnergyCalc UK and to help us improve the website.

Google Analytics may collect information such as the number of visitors, sessions, approximate geographic location, browser and device information, pages visited and interactions with the website.

Google Analytics may use first-party cookies such as _ga to distinguish visitors and sessions when analytics storage has been permitted.

We do not intentionally send names, email addresses or calculator input values to Google Analytics.
