- You have full control over your data
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
Conversion Data: When you use our conversion tool, the values you enter (inches, centimeters, height measurements) are processed entirely in your browser. We do not store or transmit this data to our servers.

- Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, referring website
- IP Address: Anonymized for analytics and security purposes
- Local Storage: Conversion history (stored only in your browser)
Privacy-First Design: Your conversion calculations never leave your device. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript, ensuring maximum privacy and speed.
3. How We Use Your Information

Service Delivery

4. Data Storage & Security
We take data security seriously and implement industry-standard measures to protect your information:

- HTTPS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using SSL/TLS
- No Server-Side Storage: We do not store your conversion values on our servers
- Regular Security Audits: We regularly review our security practices and update them as needed
Data Retention: Since conversions are processed client-side, we retain no conversion data. Analytics data is anonymized and retained for 26 months to help us improve the service.

8. Children's Privacy
Our service is available to users of all ages, including students and educators. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent.
