We Take Your Privacy Seriously
At Chick-fil-A Nutrition Calculator, we believe your privacy matters. This page explains what information we collect (spoiler: very little), how we use it, and your rights.
We’ve written this in plain English because legal jargon shouldn’t require a law degree to understand.
The Short Version
Here’s what you need to know:
- ✅ We don’t require accounts or logins
- ✅ We don’t sell your personal information
- ✅ We don’t collect unnecessary data
- ✅ We use basic analytics to improve our calculator
- ✅ We use cookies to make the site work properly
- ✅ You can use our calculator anonymously
If you want the details, keep reading.
What Information We Collect
Information You Give Us Directly
Calculator Usage: When you use our nutrition calculator, we don’t store your meal selections or calculations. Everything happens in your browser, and nothing is sent to our servers.
Contact Forms: If you email us or use our contact form, we collect:
- Your name (if you provide it)
- Your email address
- The message content
We only use this information to respond to your inquiry and don’t share it with anyone else.
Information We Collect Automatically
Basic Analytics: Like most websites, we use Google Analytics to understand how people use our site. This includes:
- Pages you visit
- How long you spend on the site
- What device and browser you’re using
- General location (city/country level, not your exact address)
- How you found our site (search engine, social media, etc.)
This helps us improve the calculator and fix problems, but it doesn’t tell us who you are personally.
Cookies: We use small text files called cookies to:
- Remember your preferences (like if you’ve seen a popup)
- Make the calculator function properly
- Track basic analytics (through Google Analytics)
You can disable cookies in your browser, but some features might not work as smoothly.
What We DON’T Collect
Let’s be clear about what we don’t do:
❌ We don’t track your nutrition goals or meal history
❌ We don’t require registration or accounts
❌ We don’t collect payment information (our service is free)
❌ We don’t access your camera, microphone, or contacts
❌ We don’t follow you around the internet with targeted ads
❌ We don’t sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and improve our service – Make the calculator work and fix bugs
- Respond to your inquiries – Answer questions you send us
- Understand usage patterns – See which features people use most
- Ensure security – Protect against spam and abuse
- Comply with legal obligations – Follow applicable laws
That’s it. We’re not running ads, selling data, or building marketing profiles.
Third-Party Services
We use a few trusted third-party services to run our site:
Google Analytics:
Helps us understand how people use the calculator. Google has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle data. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Web Hosting:
Our site is hosted on Hostinger. They may collect standard server logs (IP addresses, timestamps) for security and technical purposes.
Content Delivery:
We may use CDN services to make the site load faster. These services may log basic request information.
These providers have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.
Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information:
- 🔒 Our site uses HTTPS encryption
- 🛡️ We don’t store sensitive personal information
- 💾 Email inquiries are kept in secure systems
- 🗑️ We delete contact inquiries after resolution (unless you ask us to keep them)
However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We do our best, but we can’t guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights and Choices
You have control over your privacy:
Access and Deletion:
Since we don’t collect much personal information, there’s not much to access or delete. But if you’ve contacted us and want your email deleted, just let us know.
Opt-Out of Analytics:
You can:
- Use browser extensions that block Google Analytics
- Enable “Do Not Track” in your browser settings
- Use private/incognito browsing mode
Cookie Management:
You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Keep in mind this might affect site functionality.
Children’s Privacy
Our calculator is designed for general audiences. We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you’re a parent and believe your child has provided us with information, please contact us and we’ll delete it promptly.
International Users
Our service is based in USA and complies with [applicable laws like GDPR, CCPA, etc.].
If you’re accessing from outside USA, your information may be transferred to and processed here. By using our calculator, you consent to this transfer.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we do:
- We’ll update the “Last Updated” date at the top
- For significant changes, we’ll post a notice on our homepage
- Your continued use of the calculator after changes means you accept the updated policy
