Privacy Policy-Car Calculator
Car Calculator (“we,” “us,” or “our”) runs a website that offers free automotive calculators and tools. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.
We aim to collect as little data as possible and use it only to ensure the site works correctly, measure usage, and (if enabled) display ads.
