Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Board Foot (BDFT) Calculator (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you use bdftcalculator.com and its calculators.

What we collect

• Usage data (aggregated): page views, device/browser type, and general region to improve performance and usability.
• Server logs: IP address, user-agent, timestamps, and similar diagnostics for security and reliability.
• Messages you send: if you contact us via the contact page, we receive what you submit.

Calculator inputs

Calculations update instantly in your browser (e.g., thickness, width, length, quantity, and price per board foot fields). We do not create user accounts, and we do not store your calculator inputs on our servers. If a future feature requires saving scenarios, we will present clear controls and an updated notice.

How we use information

• Operate and improve the calculators (e.g., presets, decimals, copy actions, BF/ft and cubic unit displays, cost estimator).
• Maintain security, monitor availability, and prevent abuse.
• Respond to messages and support requests.

Legal bases (EEA/UK)

• Legitimate interests for basic analytics, security, and service improvement.
• Consent where required (e.g., for any non-essential cookies or optional features).

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with trusted providers (hosting, security, analytics) under confidentiality and data-protection obligations, or disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or the integrity of the service.

Retention

Contact messages are kept as long as needed to respond and maintain records. Logs/analytics are kept for a limited period consistent with operations and security.

Cookies & analytics

If we use analytics, we prefer privacy-respecting, minimal data approaches. If non-essential cookies or similar technologies are introduced, we will provide notice and appropriate controls where required by law.

Your choices & rights

• Use the calculator without creating an account.
• If you’re in the EEA/UK, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. To exercise rights, contact us via the contact page.
• California residents may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA. You can reach out to make a request.

Data security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No Internet service is 100% secure, but we work to keep risk low.

Children

The site is not directed to children under 13 (or the age required by local law). If you believe a child provided personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

International transfers

Providers may process data in other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., contractual protections) to protect your information.

Changes

We may update this Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we’ll provide reasonable notice (e.g., an on-site banner).
