Plain language, on purpose

Privacy Policy

The short version: the tools are built to work without accounts, and calculator values stay in your browser unless a future feature clearly says otherwise.

Effective September 3, 2026

Information the tools process

Inputs such as names, dates, party counts, or measurements are used in your browser to produce a result. The initial tools do not send those values to a Sort of Useful database, because there is no user database or account system.

Do not enter sensitive information that a tool does not need.

Product analytics

The production site uses Google Analytics 4 for aggregate traffic reporting such as page views, sessions, acquisition sources, approximate geography, landing pages, and engagement. Google Analytics uses first-party cookies and browser identifiers to distinguish users and sessions.

The application also includes a PostHog integration that is disabled unless the site operator provides environment configuration. When enabled, it records page views, standard technical and acquisition context, which tool was viewed, whether a result was generated, and broad non-sensitive options such as a selected mode.

Raw calculator values—including names, birth dates, party counts, TV-size inputs, and cargo or object measurements—are not intentionally included in custom analytics events. PostHog session recording and automatic click capture are disabled, and its configured client uses in-memory persistence rather than long-lived browser identifiers.

Hosting and technical logs

The site is hosted by Netlify. Like most web hosts, Netlify may process technical request information such as IP address, browser type, timestamps, and requested URLs as needed for delivery, security, and operations. Those systems are governed by the provider's terms and privacy practices.

Cookies, advertising, and affiliate links

The site does not include advertising or affiliate tracking and does not currently display a cookie banner. If advertising or other technologies that require additional consent are added, this policy and the site's consent controls will be updated before they are enabled.

Contact and changes

If you email the configured contact address, the message and your address will be used to respond. This policy may change as the product changes; material updates will appear on this page with a revised effective date.
