Privacy Policy
Last updated:
Welcome to Our Privacy Policy
This policy explains how information is handled when you use pokemonsleeprecipescalculator.com. Lee Harsh is the site contact for questions about these practices.
We now use Google Analytics 4 to measure website usage. The sections below explain what analytics information may be collected, how it is used, and what controls are available.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Choose to Provide
You can use the calculators without creating an account. Calculator values are processed in your browser to produce results; the current calculator code does not intentionally send those values to a website database or to Google Analytics.
If you contact us by email, we receive the name, email address, message, and any attachments you choose to send. Please avoid including passwords, payment details, or other sensitive information.
How the Contact Form Works
Our contact form prepares a draft in your email application. Entering information or opening a draft does not send a message to us. We receive your message only after you send it through your email provider. Your email application and provider handle the draft under their own privacy practices.
Google Analytics and Usage Information
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), with measurement ID G-NG65GQNVDF, to understand how visitors use the website. Google Analytics may receive information such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from network information, browser and device information, referring pages, interaction and engagement data, and other technical identifiers used for measurement.
Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to distinguish browsers and measure visits. We use this information to understand site performance, improve tools and content, and identify technical or usability issues. We do not intentionally configure Google Analytics to collect the values you type into calculators or the contents of contact messages.
Technical Information
When you load a page, the hosting infrastructure processes request information to deliver the website. This may include your IP address, requested URL, browser information, request time, and error or security records. These records are separate from the values you enter into a calculator.
2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies and Browser Storage
Cookies are small records that a website or service can save in your browser. Our calculators do not require an account cookie or save calculator entries in local storage. However, Google Analytics may set analytics cookies, including cookies commonly named _ga and _ga_<container-id>, to measure visits and distinguish browsers.
Google controls the exact operation and lifetime of its analytics cookies, and those details can change. See our Cookies Policy for more information about the analytics technologies currently used on this website.
Your Browser Controls
You can review, block, or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking analytics cookies may reduce the accuracy of our traffic and usage reports but should not prevent the core calculators from working.
You can also use browser privacy features or extensions that limit analytics requests. External websites you choose to visit may use their own cookies and tracking technologies.
3. Third-Party Services
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is provided by Google. When GA4 runs on this website, analytics information is transmitted to Google so that Google can process it and provide measurement and reporting services to us.
Google's handling of information is also governed by its own privacy terms and controls. You can learn more from Google's privacy information and Google Analytics privacy resources.
Website Hosting
Our hosting provider supports page delivery, availability, and technical security. It may process request data and maintain operational logs for those purposes.
Email and Optional Sharing
Email providers process messages sent between you and us. The contact button opens your chosen email application rather than transmitting a form submission through our website.
If you choose a social-sharing button or an external resource link, the destination service receives the information needed to open that link. Share links include the page URL and, where applicable, its title. The destination service applies its own privacy policy.
4. How We Use Information
Purposes
We use Google Analytics reports to understand traffic patterns, popular pages, device categories, engagement, and site performance so we can improve the website and its calculators. We use information provided through contact messages to respond to questions, investigate reported calculation errors, and consider suggestions. Technical request data supports website delivery and investigation of faults or misuse.
Where applicable data protection law requires a lawful basis, routine correspondence and site security may rely on legitimate interests. Analytics may require consent in some jurisdictions. Where consent is legally required, analytics should be subject to the applicable consent controls.
5. How Information Is Shared
Service Providers and Legal Requirements
Analytics information is disclosed to Google so Google can provide Google Analytics measurement and reporting. Website requests are processed by hosting infrastructure, and correspondence is processed by email providers. Information may also need to be disclosed where required by law or reasonably necessary to address a security incident or protect legal rights.
Choosing an external link or sharing service is separate from using our calculators. Review the destination service's policy before providing information there. We do not operate a feature that sells calculator entries or contact messages.
Processing Locations
Google, hosting providers, and email services may process information outside your country. The locations and transfer arrangements depend on the providers involved and the legal safeguards they use.
6. Security and Retention
Protecting Information
No website, analytics system, email system, or internet transmission can guarantee complete security. Limit the personal information you include in a support message, and never send account passwords or financial credentials.
How Long Information Is Kept
Calculator entries are held in the current page rather than saved to a site account. Google Analytics data is retained according to the retention settings configured in our Google Analytics property and Google's applicable processing rules; those settings may change over time.
Correspondence should be kept only as long as needed to handle the enquiry, related follow-up, and any applicable recordkeeping obligations. Hosting logs and backups have separate retention settings controlled through the provider.
7. Children's Privacy
Using the Tools
The calculators do not require a name, date of birth, or account. Google Analytics may collect technical usage information when pages are visited. Children should avoid sending personal information through email and ask a parent or guardian for help with a contact request.
If you believe a child has sent us personal information that should be removed, contact us using the address below so the request can be reviewed.
8. Your Privacy Rights
Requests and Choices
Depending on your location and the law that applies, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal information, restrict processing, object to particular uses, or withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
You can use browser settings to block or delete analytics cookies. Google also provides privacy and account controls for its services. Send privacy requests to the email address below and describe the request clearly.
9. Do Not Track and Browser Privacy Signals
Browser Privacy Signals
The website does not currently provide a separate response specifically to the older Do Not Track browser setting. Browser cookie blocking, content blocking, or other privacy controls may nevertheless limit Google Analytics requests. Global Privacy Control and similar signals may create legal obligations in some jurisdictions and should be handled according to applicable law.
10. California Privacy Rights
Where California Law Applies
If you are a California resident and our processing falls within the California Consumer Privacy Act, you may have rights to know, correct, or delete personal information, opt out of certain sales or sharing, and exercise applicable rights without discrimination. Some rights and obligations depend on the law's scope and exceptions.
We do not sell calculator entries or contact messages. Analytics information is disclosed to Google to provide measurement services; whether a particular disclosure is treated as a sale, sharing, or another category depends on the applicable law and configuration. Contact us using the address below to raise a privacy request.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
Keeping This Page Current
We will update this policy when website features, analytics settings, or information-handling practices change. The date at the top identifies the latest revision. A policy update does not by itself provide consent for a new use of personal information.
