Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 30, 2026. Your privacy and data protection are central to HorizonCalc.
1. Client-Side Calculations (Zero Data Collection)
At HorizonCalc, we believe in user privacy. The input values you enter into the calculator—such as observer height, target distance, target height, and unit parameters—are processed entirely inside your web browser using JavaScript.
None of your specific calculations, numerical queries, or results are sent to our server or stored by us. They remain local to your session.
2. Log Files
Like most standard web servers, our hosting infrastructure may collect temporary server log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. This data is used solely for security audits, identifying site errors, and system administration. It is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
3. Cookies and Analytics
We do not set tracking cookies or collect individual profile identifiers. We may use privacy-respecting, aggregated analytics tools to monitor general site traffic (such as total pageviews and general country origins) to help optimize site performance. You can disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting the functionality of the Earth Curvature Calculator.
4. Third-Party Libraries
Our tool loads standard static libraries from reputable public CDNs:
- Tailwind CSS Play CDN (for layout and modern interface presentation).
- Chart.js via jsdelivr CDN (to compile and plot mathematical curvature drop slopes).
- Google Fonts (to load high-quality readable modern typography).
These CDNs may log standard technical connection metrics (IP addresses and browser agents) required to deliver files. Review their respective privacy policies for details.
5. Policy Updates & Contact
We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy as required. If you have any inquiries regarding data practices or policy disclosures, please contact us using our Contact Form.
