Privacy policy

This privacy policy explains how BatchMacro ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you use this website. It applies to every page on this domain, including our calculators, guides, and reference pages.

Who we are

BatchMacro publishes free educational tools and articles about food and nutrition. We do not require accounts, do not sell products directly, and do not ask you to submit personal information in order to use the site.

Information we collect

Calculator inputs. Values you type into a calculator are processed in your browser and are never sent to our servers.

Server logs. Our hosting provider records standard technical information such as the requested URL, the date and time, the referring page, an approximate geographic region, and the browser user agent. These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, and aggregate traffic measurement.

Email. If you email us, we receive your address and the contents of your message. We keep that correspondence only as long as needed to answer you and to maintain a record of corrections.

Cookies and advertising

This site may display advertising served by Google AdSense and other third-party vendors. When those ads are active:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices.
• Where required by law, we present a consent notice before non-essential advertising cookies are set, and you can change or withdraw your choice at any time.

We do not control third-party cookies. Review the privacy policies of those vendors for details about their retention and use.

Analytics

We do not run a third-party analytics product that builds individual profiles. If we add one in the future, this policy will be updated first to name the provider, describe the data collected, and provide an opt-out where required.

Legal bases under the GDPR

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases: legitimate interests for maintaining the security and availability of the site; consent for non-essential advertising cookies and any optional analytics; and the performance of a contract or steps at your request when you email us.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To exercise a right, email contact@your-domain.com. We respond within the period required by applicable law.

California residents. We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. You may request disclosure or deletion of any personal information we hold about you using the contact address above.

Children

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Data retention and security

Server logs are retained by our hosting provider for a limited operational period. Email correspondence is retained while it remains relevant to editorial corrections. We use HTTPS across the site and restrict access to any stored correspondence, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

International transfers

Our hosting and advertising providers may process data in countries other than yours, including the United States. Where required, those providers rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or the law. The revision date at the top of the page shows when it last changed. Material changes will be flagged on the homepage.

Contact

Email contact@your-domain.com with any privacy question or request.
