The Short Version
GetMacroCalculator.com is a free calculator website. The age, weight, height and other numbers you type into the calculator are processed inside your browser and are not sent to our server. We do not ask you to create an account. We may use cookies and similar technologies for advertising and for measuring traffic, and you can control those choices as explained below.
Who Is Responsible for Your Information
The website GetMacroCalculator.com is the controller of the personal information described in this policy. You can reach us through the contact page for any privacy question or request.
What We Collect and Why
| Information | Examples | Why we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Messages you send | Name, email address, topic and message from the contact form | To reply to you and improve the site |
| Technical data | IP address, browser, device type, pages visited, referring page, time of visit | To keep the site secure, fast and working |
| Analytics data | Aggregated page views, session length, country | To learn which pages help people |
| Advertising data | Cookie identifiers and ad interaction data handled by advertising partners | To show and measure ads |
We do not collect sensitive categories such as health records through the site. The numbers you type into the calculator do not leave your device.
Calculator Inputs and Browser Storage
The calculator can remember some choices so you do not have to retype them. These are saved only in your browser's local storage on your own device:
| Item | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Saved profile | The values you chose to save with the Save button |
| Today's food log and tracker | Foods and macro totals for the current day only |
| Weekly plan and water | The training days you ticked and glasses of water logged today |
| Display mode | Your light or dark choice |
You can erase all of this at any time by clearing site data in your browser. The site keeps working without it.
Contact Form Messages
When you use the contact form, we receive your name, email address, topic and message by email. We use them only to answer you and to improve the site. We keep a message for as long as it is needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterwards, and we do not sell or rent it.
Server Logs
Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard technical information when a page is requested, such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring address and time. This is used for security, troubleshooting and capacity planning and is kept for a limited period.
Analytics
We may use an analytics service, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the site. Reports are aggregated, and we use them to improve pages and speed, not to identify individuals. If analytics is active, you can block it with a browser extension, your browser's privacy settings or the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
Advertising and Cookies
We may show ads served by third-party vendors, including Google. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a person's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. Where the law requires it, such as in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies, and you can change your mind at any time.
Google Fonts
Our pages load typefaces from Google Fonts. When your browser requests them, Google receives your IP address and standard request information. Google describes how it handles that data in its own privacy policy.
Links to Other Websites
Our guides link to government agencies, universities and other sources. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
Children
The site is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it. Nutrition needs change during growth, so anyone under 18 should use the calculator only with a parent, doctor or dietitian.
How Long We Keep Information
Contact messages are kept while we handle your request and for a reasonable time afterward. Server logs and analytics data are kept for the period set by our hosting and analytics settings. Browser storage stays on your device until you clear it.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS, and the calculator works client-side, which keeps your health numbers on your own device. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot promise absolute protection, but we take sensible measures and keep the amount of data we collect small.
International Visitors
Our service providers may process data in countries other than your own. Where the law requires it, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its use, receive a copy, and withdraw consent you have given. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may also complain to your local data protection authority. California residents have rights under the CCPA and CPRA, including the right to know, delete and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell the personal information you give us directly. To make a request, use the contact page and tell us which right you want to use. We may need to confirm your identity first.
Do Not Track
Browsers send a Do Not Track signal in different ways and there is no common standard for responding to it, so the site does not change its behavior when it receives one. Use your browser's cookie settings for control.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when our practices or the law change. The date at the top of the page shows the latest revision. If a change is significant, we will say so clearly on the site.
