Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 4, 2026
Overview
LevelCalc ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how it is used when you visit levelcalc.com.
Data We Collect
Calculator Inputs
All calculations are performed in your browser. We do not store, transmit, or have access to any values you enter into our calculators. Your data never leaves your device.
Analytics
We use privacy-friendly analytics (Cloudflare Web Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site. This collects:
- Pages visited and time spent
- Referring website
- Country (approximate, from IP)
- Browser and device type
Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies, does not track individual users across sessions, and does not collect personally identifiable information.
Advertising
We display advertisements through third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense, Mediavine, or Raptive). These services may use cookies and similar technologies to serve relevant ads based on your browsing activity. You can opt out of personalized advertising at:
Affiliate Links
Some pages contain affiliate links to third-party merchants. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate merchants may set their own cookies to attribute a referral. We do not receive or store the details of what you buy. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more.
Quote Requests
Some calculators offer an optional form to request quotes from local contractors or material suppliers. Calculators themselves never collect personal data — this applies only if you choose to submit a quote request. If you do, the information you enter (such as your name, contact details, ZIP code, and project details) is transmitted to third-party lead-referral networks and the contractors they match you with, so they can contact you with quotes. By submitting a request, you consent to be contacted by those providers by phone, text, or email, including via automated means, even if your number is on a do-not-call list. This consent is not a condition of using any calculator. Once submitted, your request is handled under the receiving networks' and contractors' own privacy policies.
Consent Banner
When you first visit LevelCalc, a consent banner appears asking you to
accept or decline our Terms of Use and this Privacy
Policy. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage
(lc_consent) so the banner does not appear on subsequent
visits. This is not a cookie — it is browser-side storage that is never
transmitted to our servers.
If you decline, you may continue to use all calculators. Third-party advertising scripts (if active) will not be loaded for users who decline. You can reset your consent choice at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for levelcalc.com.
Cookies
LevelCalc itself does not set cookies. If third-party advertising is active on the site, ad network partners may set cookies for ad personalization and measurement. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Cloudflare — Hosting, CDN, DDoS protection, and analytics
- Ad networks — Display advertising (Google AdSense / Mediavine / Raptive)
- Affiliate networks — Referral tracking for building-material and tool retailers (e.g., Amazon Associates, Impact, Commission Junction)
- Lead-referral networks — Connecting quote requests with contractors and suppliers (e.g., Angi, Modernize, Networx), only when you submit a request
Data Retention
We do not store personal data from your use of the calculators. Analytics data is aggregated and cannot be traced to individual users. The only personal information that leaves your device is what you voluntarily enter into a quote request form; that information is passed to the relevant lead-referral network rather than retained by us.
Children's Privacy
Our site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Since we do not collect personal data beyond aggregated analytics, there is typically no data to request. For questions, contact us at hello@levelcalc.com.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last updated" date.
