Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how CalculateMyGold.com ("we", "us", or "the site") handles information when you use our free gold, silver, and platinum calculator. We have written it to be straightforward rather than legalistic, so you can understand exactly what happens when you visit.

Information we collect directly

CalculateMyGold.com does not ask you to register, log in, or submit personal information. We do not run a server-side database of user records. The weight, karat, currency, and offer amounts you type into the calculator are processed entirely in your browser and are never transmitted to us.

Information stored in your browser

To make the site more convenient, we may use your browser's local storage or cookies to remember preferences such as your chosen language, currency, and preferred unit of weight. This information stays on your device and is not sent to our servers. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

Third-party services we use

Live metal price feeds

To display up-to-date spot prices for gold, silver, and platinum, the calculator fetches data from public price APIs. When your browser makes these requests, the provider of the feed may log your IP address and basic request metadata (such as browser type) for technical and anti-abuse purposes. We do not control what these providers log; please refer to each provider's own privacy policy for details.

Google Fonts

We load the DM Sans and Playfair Display typefaces from Google Fonts. Google may receive your IP address and user-agent as part of serving these font files. Google describes this behavior in the Google Privacy Policy.

Google AdSense (when enabled)

If and when advertising is enabled on the site, we use Google AdSense to display ads. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your 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 a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. We use cookies for two purposes: (1) remembering your calculator preferences, and (2) supporting advertising via Google AdSense once it is enabled. Most browsers let you refuse cookies or delete them; doing so will not break the calculator, though it may reset your saved preferences.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns (for example, how many visits the site receives and which pages are most useful). We do not combine analytics data with personally identifying information.

Children's privacy

The site is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Your choices and rights

Because we do not collect personal information on our own servers, there is typically no account or record for you to access or delete on our side. Where third-party services hold data about you (such as Google for advertising), you should use their own privacy controls. For residents of the European Union, United Kingdom, or California who have specific data-protection rights, you may contact us with any request and we will assist to the extent reasonably possible.

International users

CalculateMyGold.com is accessible worldwide. By using the site, you consent to the processing of any data by the third-party services described above, which may be located in countries outside your own.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if we add new features or change advertising partners. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
