Privacy Policy
Last updated: [DATE] — replace before publishing
This policy explains what calculatesteps.com ("we," "us") collects when you use the site, and how that information is used.
Information we collect
We don't require an account and we don't ask you for personal information to use the calculator. The places you type into the "from" and "to" fields are used only to generate your step count and are not linked to your identity.
Like most websites, we automatically collect some technical information through standard analytics: pages visited, approximate location (city-level, from IP address), device and browser type, and how you arrived at the site. This is used in aggregate to understand how the site is used and to fix what's broken.
Cookies and advertising

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
