HVACFixCalc.com ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
What We Collect
Information you provide
If you sign up for our free guides or email updates, we collect your email address. We do not require you to create an account to use any calculator on this site.
Automatically collected data
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site. GA4 collects anonymized data including pages visited, time on site, browser type, and general geographic region (country/state level). We do not collect IP addresses in identifiable form.
We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) to manage analytics scripts. No additional data collection occurs through GTM beyond what is described here.
How We Use Your Data
- Email address: Used only to send the guide or updates you requested. We use Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) to deliver emails. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email.
- Analytics data: Used in aggregate to understand which calculators and articles are most useful, so we can improve the site. Never sold or shared with third parties.
Cookies
Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish users and sessions. These are first-party analytics cookies. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels from ad networks.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third parties for their own marketing purposes. Data is shared only with service providers who help us operate the site (Google Analytics, Brevo), and only to the extent needed to provide those services.
Data Retention
Email addresses are retained until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained for 14 months per our GA4 configuration, then automatically deleted.
Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us and we will respond within 30 days.
If you are located in the European Union or California, you may have additional rights under GDPR or CCPA respectively. We honor those rights upon request.
Children's Privacy
HVACFixCalc.com is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13 years of age.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
