1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how DataWisdom processes information when you use our energy calculators, read our guides, interact with advertising or analytics technologies, or contact us. Different categories of information are processed in different ways. For example, calculator field values should be distinguished from technical website usage data.

2. Scope of This Policy

This policy applies specifically to the DataWisdom website and its associated subdomains. It does not apply to third-party websites, applications, or services that we may link to, as those are governed by their own privacy policies.

3. Information You Provide

When you choose to communicate with us, you may voluntarily provide information such as your email address, the content of your message, a page URL you are reporting, or calculator values you choose to copy into an email. We ask that you do not send passwords, payment-card information, government identification numbers, medical information, or other highly sensitive personal information.

4. Calculator Input Processing

DataWisdom calculators perform their calculations in your browser. Unless a particular tool clearly states otherwise, the values entered into calculator fields are not sent to DataWisdom for calculation. Because these tools run locally, your inputs do not survive a page refresh, do not appear in URLs, and copy or print actions remain local to your device.

5. Information Collected Automatically

When you access our website, certain technical information is collected automatically by our hosting and security infrastructure. This typically includes your IP address, browser type, device and operating-system information, the specific page requested, the referring page, date and time of access, and request and response statuses. This information is used for delivering the website, maintaining security, preventing fraud and abuse, and debugging.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

DataWisdom and our third-party partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to ensure the website functions correctly, to remember your preferences, and (when active) to deliver and measure advertising. Please review our Cookie Policy for detailed information about the specific categories of technologies we use (such as strictly necessary, preferences, and advertising) and how to manage your choices.

7. Advertising and Google AdSense

DataWisdom plans to utilize Google AdSense to display advertisements. When advertising is active, Google and other third-party vendors may serve advertisements and may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar technologies to serve, personalize, limit, measure, and report advertising.

Advertising may be informed by your visits to DataWisdom and other websites. Google may process information from partner sites for service delivery, measurement, security, fraud prevention, and advertising. Users may be able to manage or opt out of personalized advertising through the appropriate Google and industry controls, such as Google Ads Settings, or through the choices outlined in our Cookie Policy.

For more details on how Google handles data in its advertising products, please visit Google’s explanation of how it uses information from partner websites.

8. Hosting, Security and Server Logs

Our website is hosted on secure cloud infrastructure. The servers automatically record access logs that contain technical visitor data. We process these logs for operational purposes, such as defending against malicious traffic, ensuring service stability, and analyzing broad trends in website accessibility. We do not use server logs to track individual users across the web.

9. Contact Email and Communications

When you email us at hello@datawisdom.online, we receive your email address, message, and any information you choose to include. We use this information to respond, investigate reported problems, maintain appropriate records, protect the website, and comply with applicable obligations.

Your messages may be processed by your email provider, our email infrastructure provider, and necessary spam or security filtering services. We do not add contact addresses to a marketing list unless the sender separately requests or agrees to receive marketing communications.

10. How Information Is Used

We use the information we process to:

  • Operate, maintain, and deliver the website securely.
  • Provide functional calculator tools.
  • Respond to your communications and investigate corrections.
  • Measure website use and improve content and usability.
  • Serve and measure advertising (when active).
  • Prevent abuse and enforce our terms.
  • Comply with applicable legal requirements.

11. How Information May Be Disclosed

We do not publicly disclose your information. We may disclose information under the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: To hosting, advertising, and email infrastructure providers who assist in operating our website.
  • Legal Requirements: If required to do so by law, or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
  • Protection of Rights: When reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of DataWisdom, our users, or the public.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business.

12. Data Retention

Different information is retained for different periods. Because calculator inputs are processed locally in your browser, we do not retain them on our servers. Server logs and security records are retained temporarily for operational and security monitoring. Contact messages are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including resolving inquiries, recordkeeping, and legal obligations. Where a third-party provider controls retention (such as advertising or hosting logs), that provider's retention settings apply.

13. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and whether the relevant law applies to DataWisdom, you may have rights concerning access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or certain advertising-related processing. You can exercise available choices by adjusting your browser cookie settings, utilizing Google advertising settings, or utilizing consent controls if implemented for your region.

To submit a privacy-related request, you may contact us at hello@datawisdom.online. Please include sufficient information to identify your request. Note that some requests may be limited by legal or security exceptions, and verification may be required.

14. Global Privacy Control and U.S. State Choices

Because DataWisdom does not currently process personal information for targeted advertising or sell personal data as defined by applicable U.S. state laws, we do not provide a "Do Not Sell or Share" opt-out mechanism or process Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals at this time. Should we activate personalized advertising in the future, we will update this policy and provide appropriate consent mechanisms.

15. International Visitors and Data Transfers

DataWisdom primarily serves users in the United States. However, if you are visiting from outside the United States, please be aware that hosting or service providers may process information in countries other than your country of residence, where data-protection laws may differ. By using our website, you understand that your technical and communication information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where our providers operate.

16. Data Security

DataWisdom uses reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the website and the information processed. While we strive to protect the infrastructure and any communications you send us, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

17. Children’s Privacy

DataWisdom is a general-audience website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@datawisdom.online so that we can take necessary actions.

18. Third-Party Websites

Our guides and calculators may contain links to government, utility, technical, and other external resources. Third-party sites control their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any destination site you visit before providing them with your information.

19. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices, services, technologies, or legal requirements change. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes may be communicated through an appropriate website notice where warranted.
