Privacy Policy
Effective: November 2026
1. Overview & Local-First Processing
At Hiking Calorie Calculator, your privacy is foundational. All biometric values (such as your body weight, backpack load, and pace) and all uploaded GPS/GPX route files are processed entirely in your local browser. We do not store, transmit, or analyze your personal route tracks on our servers.
2. Information We Collect
Contact Form Inquiries: If you voluntarily submit a message through our Contact Us form, we receive the name, email address, and message text you provide so we can respond to your request.
Technical & Analytics Data: We may collect non-personally identifiable log information such as browser type, operating system, and aggregate visit metrics to maintain site reliability.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
Hiking Calorie Calculator may use minimal browser storage to remember your chosen unit preference (Metric vs. Imperial) across visits. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising pixels.
4. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to external reference resources (such as sports medicine journals or scientific studies). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy periodically to reflect enhancements in our tools. Any updates will be posted here with an updated revision date.
