Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 6, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Free PC Bottleneck Calculator ("we", "us", "the site") at freebottleneckcalculator.com handles information when you use our website.

Summary

• We do not require an account or login.
• The calculator runs in your browser; CPU/GPU selections are processed locally.
• We do not sell your personal information.

Information we collect

Information you provide

When you use the calculator, you select hardware components and settings. This information is used only to compute bottleneck estimates. We do not collect your name, email, or payment details through the calculator itself.

Automatically stored data (local storage)

The site may store the following in your browser's local storage:

• Dark/light theme preference

This data stays on your device. You can clear it by clearing your browser's site data.

Analytics

We may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand aggregate traffic (page views, popular pairings). If enabled, analytics providers may collect anonymized usage data such as browser type, device type, and pages visited. We do not use analytics to identify individual users.

Server logs

Our hosting provider (Netlify) may log standard web server data including IP address, browser user agent, and pages requested. These logs are used for security and operational purposes and are retained according to the host's policies.

Cookies

We do not use advertising cookies. Theme preference may be stored via local storage, which is similar to a cookie but remains in your browser until cleared.

Third-party services

We load fonts from Google Fonts and icons from Google Fonts (Material Symbols). Google may collect data according to its own privacy policy when those resources are loaded.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Data retention

Local storage data persists until you clear it. Server logs are retained by our hosting provider per their standard retention schedule.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data. Because we do not maintain user accounts, most data is stored locally on your device and can be cleared through your browser settings.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the latest revision.
