Privacy and data
Privacy Policy
This policy explains how ProteinCalc handles information when readers use our calculators, guides, food charts, meal planners, and related pages. ProteinCalc is an educational nutrition website, not a medical provider.

Information We Collect
ProteinCalc may process basic technical information that browsers and hosting systems normally provide, including page URLs, device type, browser type, approximate region, referral source, and usage events such as page views or clicks.
Most calculator inputs are processed in the browser to produce an estimate. ProteinCalc does not ask readers to create accounts, submit medical records, or provide sensitive personal health information to use the public calculators.
- Analytics information, such as pages visited, traffic source, device category, and engagement events.
- Technical information, such as IP-derived approximate location, browser, operating system, and error logs.
- Voluntary contact information if a reader contacts the publisher through an external channel.
Analytics
ProteinCalc uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate site usage, improve page quality, and identify broken or confusing experiences. Analytics reports are used in aggregate and are not intended to identify individual readers.
Analytics data helps us decide which calculators, food pages, and guides need clearer wording, better internal links, stronger examples, or technical fixes.
Advertising and Google Cookies
ProteinCalc may use Google AdSense or other Google advertising services. Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads to users based on visits to ProteinCalc and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
If third party ad vendors or ad networks serve ads on ProteinCalc, their cookies or similar technologies may also be used. Those vendors may provide their own opt-out tools, and users may also visit industry opt-out resources such as aboutads.info where available.

How We Use Information
We use information to operate the site, measure aggregate performance, improve calculators and content, protect against abuse, debug technical issues, and comply with applicable obligations.
We do not sell personalized nutrition plans, medical care, or user health profiles. Public calculators and guides are educational estimates and should not be treated as individualized medical advice.
Your Choices
Readers can block or delete cookies through browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect analytics, advertising, and some embedded or third party features, but the core educational content should remain available.
Readers can use Google Ads Settings to opt out of personalized advertising. Browser privacy controls and third party opt-out tools may provide additional choices depending on region and device.
Children and Sensitive Information
ProteinCalc is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. Readers should not submit personal medical records, diagnosis details, medication records, or other sensitive personal information through public site features.
If a nutrition question involves pregnancy, lactation, kidney disease, diabetes, medication changes, eating disorder history, or another medical context, readers should use qualified clinical guidance instead of relying on general website estimates.
Updates
We may update this policy when site features, analytics tools, advertising services, or legal requirements change. The updated date at the top of the page shows the current version.
