Privacy Policy

The short version

Gas vs Volt's calculators run entirely in your browser. The numbers you type into a calculator are never sent to our servers, stored, or seen by us; they exist only on your device to compute a result. We don't require accounts, logins, or personal information to use any calculator on this site.

What we collect automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) automatically logs basic technical information for every request (things like IP address, browser type, and pages visited) for security and performance purposes. We don't personally review this data; it's standard web server behavior, not something we've built to track you individually.

Cookies and advertising

This site may display advertising served by Google AdSense and other ad networks. These networks may use cookies or similar technologies to personalize the ads you see based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ad Settings or via the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites: see how Google uses information from sites that use its services for details.

Third-party services we use

Fonts on this site are loaded from Google Fonts, which involves a request to Google's servers when you load a page. Google's own privacy policy governs that data transfer.

We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns, such as which calculators and guides get used most, how visitors find the site, and general device/location information (like country or browser type, not your precise location). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to do this, and Google's own privacy policy governs how that data is handled on their end. We don't use this data to identify you individually, and it's separate from the calculator inputs themselves, which never leave your browser. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or opt out of personalized ads generally using the settings linked in the section above.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes (for example, if we add new ad partners or other tracking tools), we'll update this page and the "last updated" date above.
