Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how EquineColorCalculator.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you use our website and tools.

What we collect

• Usage data: basic, aggregated metrics (e.g., pages visited, device type, approximate region) to help improve performance and UX.
• Server logs: standard web logs (IP address, user-agent, timestamps) retained for security, reliability, and abuse prevention.
• Messages you send: if you contact us via the contact page, we receive the information you submit.
• Calculator inputs: the values you type into forms (e.g., parent colors or known genotypes) are used to compute results. Unless explicitly stated for a feature, we do not associate these inputs with your identity.

What we do not collect by default

• No user accounts are required to use the calculator.
• No medical records, laboratory test results, or genetic samples.
• No payment details unless an optional paid feature is offered in the future (and then this policy will be updated).

How we use information

• Provide, maintain, and improve the calculator and site.
• Secure the service, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot issues.
• Respond to messages and support requests.

Legal bases (EEA/UK)

• Legitimate interests for basic analytics, security, and service improvement.
• Consent where required (e.g., non-essential cookies or email sign-ups, if offered).
• Contract if you use a feature that requires terms to deliver a requested service.

Retention

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

Sharing

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

International transfers

Our service providers may operate globally. Where required, appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are used for cross-border data transfers.

Your choices & rights

• You can 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.

Cookies & analytics

If we use analytics, we prefer privacy-respecting tools and minimal data. If any non-essential cookies are introduced, we will provide notice and controls where required by law (e.g., a banner or settings panel).

Children

This 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.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. If changes are material, we’ll take reasonable steps to notify you (e.g., a site banner or notice).
