Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 20/8/2025

HCalculator Hub (“HCalculator”, “we”, “us”, “our”) operates hcalculator.com. We are based in Pakistan and keep data collection to the minimum necessary to run this site and respond to enquiries.

Who we are & how to contact us

Data controller: HCalculator Hub (individually owned website), Pakistan
Email: contact@hcalculator.com

We are not a registered company; this site is operated as an individually owned project.

What we collect (minimal)

Information you send us (Contact Us form only)

  • Your name, email address, and your message.

Information collected automatically

  • Technical/usage data such as IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, referring/exit pages, and timestamps (standard server logs).
  • Cookies or similar technologies for essential functions, analytics, and (where allowed) advertising.

What we do not collect

  • No user accounts or logins.
  • No newsletter or separate “lead capture” forms.
  • No payment details.
Why we use your data

We use your data to:

  • Run and secure the site (load pages, prevent abuse, troubleshooting, security logs)
  • Respond to your enquiry (reply to contact messages).
  • Measure and improve the site (anonymous/aggregated analytics and diagnostics).
  • Show advertising (non-personalised or personalised, where permitted).

When required by law (e.g., for visitors in the EEA/UK), our lawful bases are:

  • Legitimate interests for operation/security and for responding to enquiries.
  • Consent for analytics and for personalised advertising in the EEA/UK (you can refuse or withdraw at any time via Manage Cookies).
Cookies, consent & “Manage Cookies”

We use first-party and third-party cookies to remember preferences, understand how the site is used, and, where permitted, to deliver and measure advertising.

Users in the EEA/UK will see a consent banner from a consent management platform (CMP). We do not set advertising cookies there until you consent.

Advertising & analytics

We use (or may use) Google AdSense/Ads to display ads and Google Analytics (or an equivalent analytics tool) to understand site usage. These services may set cookies or use similar identifiers to deliver, measure, and improve services and to help prevent fraud/abuse.

You can control Google ad personalisation in your Google Ad Settings and via our Manage Cookies control.

Data retention

  • Contact enquiries: kept for up to 24 months, then deleted.
  • Server logs: kept for up to 12 months.
  • Analytics: retained per our analytics setting.

We may keep data longer if required by law or to establish/defend legal claims.

International transfers & security

Data may be processed in countries outside Pakistan and your own country (e.g., where our hosting, analytics, or advertising providers operate). We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission is 100% secure.

Your privacy rights

EEA/UK visitors: you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to processing, and data portability. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it at any time via Manage Cookies or by emailing us.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA): you may have rights to know, access, delete, correct, and to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. To make a request or to opt out, email contact@hcalculator.com with the subject “CCPA Request” or “Do Not Sell or Share”. We do not knowingly sell personal information of users under 16.

Children’s privacy

Our site is for general audiences and not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Third-party links

Links on our site may lead to other websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

Do Not Track

Because there is no industry standard for DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them. Use Manage Cookies and your browser settings to control tracking.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post changes here and update the “Last updated” date.
