Privacy Policy

My Kitchen Conversion ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website mykitchenconversion.com (the "Site"), a free kitchen unit converter and recipe scaler. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Site collects, how it is used, and the choices available to you. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

The Site is operated by an individual, without a physical business location; all inquiries should be directed to the email address listed in the Contact section below.

1. Information we collect

My Kitchen Conversion does not require account creation, and the converter and recipe scaler run entirely in your browser — the numbers you enter are not transmitted to or stored on our servers. We do, however, collect limited information as described below.

Information you provide directly

If you email us (for example, using the address on our Contact page), we receive whatever information you choose to include, such as your email address, name, and the contents of your message. We use this only to respond to you and to improve the Site.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, the Site and its third-party service providers automatically collect certain information when you visit, which may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring/exit pages, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. This is collected through cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies, described further below.

2. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites remember information about your visit. The Site uses cookies placed by us and by third-party partners for the following purposes:

• Essential/functional cookies — used to remember basic preferences (such as your last-used measurement units) during your session.
• Analytics cookies — used to understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it (see Google Analytics, below).
• Advertising cookies — used by Google and its advertising partners to serve ads and, where permitted, to personalize the ads you see (see Google AdSense, below).

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies, clear existing cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Blocking cookies may affect how parts of the Site function, though the core converter tools will continue to work.

3. Third-party vendors: Google AdSense and Google Analytics

We use Google AdSense to display advertising on the Site and Google Analytics to understand Site traffic and usage. These are third-party services provided by Google LLC, and they operate independently of us once data is collected.

Google AdSense

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads on the Site based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or www.networkadvertising.org.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use the Site, including pages visited, time spent, and general geographic region. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify you. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. How we use information

We use the information described above to operate and maintain the Site, understand how it is used so we can improve it, respond to inquiries sent to us, detect and prevent misuse or technical issues, and support the display of advertising that helps keep the Site free to use.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties except as described in this policy (namely, Google's advertising and analytics services) or as required by law.

5. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to know what information is collected, request deletion of information, and opt out of certain data uses.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, request deletion of your personal information (subject to certain exceptions), and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, which may include the use of advertising cookies described above. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information in the Contact section below.

Other US states

Residents of certain other states with comprehensive privacy laws (such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and others) may have similar rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out of the processing of personal information for targeted advertising. We will honor valid requests consistent with applicable law.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no accepted industry standard for how to respond to these signals, the Site does not currently respond to them differently than described in this policy.

6. Children's privacy

The Site is a general-audience kitchen reference tool and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

7. Data retention and security

We retain the limited information we receive (such as emails sent to us) only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We take reasonable measures to protect information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

8. International visitors

The Site is intended for a US audience and hosted in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries, which may have different data protection laws than your home country.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
