Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Converty.net is a free online unit converter and calculator operated as a personal web project, accessible at https://converty.net.

For privacy enquiries: [email protected]

2. What data we collect

Converty.net is designed to collect as little data as possible.

2.1 Data you provide directly

We have no registration, login, or contact forms. You do not provide us with personal information directly.

2.2 Data collected automatically

When you visit Converty.net, standard web server logs may record:

• Your IP address (used for security, anonymised after processing)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited and time of visit
• Referring website

This data is used only for server security and aggregated traffic analysis. It is never sold or shared with third parties.

2.3 Local storage (your device only)

Converty.net saves your preferences in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and we cannot access it. It includes:

• Dark/light mode preference (cv_dark)
• Recent conversion history (cv_hist)
• Cookie consent choice (cv_cookie)

You can clear this at any time in your browser settings under "Clear site data".

4. Third-party services

4.1 Advertising — HighPerformanceFormat

We display ads provided by HighPerformanceFormat (highperformanceformat.com). These ads may use cookies to serve relevant advertisements. HighPerformanceFormat has its own privacy policy governing how they use data collected through their ad technology.

4.2 Currency rates — Frankfurter API

The currency converter fetches live exchange rates from Frankfurter API (api.frankfurter.app), sourced from the European Central Bank. This reveals your IP address to their servers temporarily; no personal profile is created and no cookies are set.

4.3 Google Fonts

Converty.net loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). Google's servers receive your IP address when fonts are loaded. Google's privacy policy applies: policies.google.com/privacy.

• Right of access — request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
• Right to erasure — request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
• Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to restriction — request we limit how we process your data
• Right to data portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format

You may also lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission of Ireland: dataprotection.ie

6. Data retention

Server logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days for security purposes, then deleted. We do not maintain a database of user information. Your localStorage data remains on your device until you clear your browser data.

7. Children's privacy

Converty.net is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
