Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 2, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to the Dahej Calculator website. This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is treated in connection with your use of this website. Our primary goal with the "Dahej Calculator" is to provide a **satirical tool intended to highlight the absurdity and harmfulness of dowry practices**. It is explicitly **not meant to encourage, endorse, or promote dowry in any form**. We are committed to protecting your privacy while advocating for gender equality and respect in all relationships.

2. Information We Collect

We believe in transparency regarding data collection. Please read carefully:

  • No Personal Data for Calculator Functionality: The "Dahej Calculator" tool operates entirely on your device (client-side JavaScript). **We do NOT collect, store, or transmit any personal data you enter into the calculator's input fields (e.g., age, profession, salary, marital status, etc.)**. The satirical "calculation" is performed in your browser and is not sent to our servers.
  • Usage Data (Non-Personal): Like most websites, we use third-party services, specifically Google Analytics, to understand how our website is used. This service collects anonymous and aggregated information such as:
    • The type of browser and operating system you use.
    • The pages you visit on our site.
    • The time spent on those pages.
    • The approximate geographical location (country/city level, not precise address).
    • Referring websites.
    This data is used solely to improve our website's performance and user experience. It does not identify you personally.
  • Advertising Data (Third-Party Cookies): We may use Google AdSense or similar advertising services. These third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. These cookies enable them to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. We do not control these third-party cookies.

3. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect (which is primarily non-personal usage data) is used for the following purposes:

  • To maintain and improve the functionality and content of the website.
  • To analyze trends and user behavior to enhance user experience.
  • To display advertisements that may be of interest to you (via third-party ad services).

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to third parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses, particularly our analytics and advertising partners (e.g., Google).

We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.

5. Data Security

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your non-personal information when you access our website. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
