Privacy at FitCalc

Nutrition preferences

FitCalc Nutrition processes dietary compatibility, exclusions, convenience, budget, and cooking preferences in your browser. If you choose local persistence, validated preference identifiers are stored inside the same FitCalc browser state used by other saved FitCalc features. Recommendation lists, catalog data, explanation strings, and internal ranking scores are not saved as personal state.

If you decline persistence, Nutrition preferences remain limited to the current browser session. “Clear saved FitCalc data” removes persisted Nutrition preferences with the rest of the canonical FitCalc state. Nutrition preference values and specific exclusions are not sent to Analytics.

The short version

FitCalc does not require a public account to use its calculators or read Articles and Guides. Information is collected when you choose to subscribe to the newsletter or contact FitCalc. Basic calculator Shared Stats can be saved locally in your browser to make other calculators easier to use.

Saved FitCalc details and Plans

After a valid calculation, FitCalc can save reusable values in local storage on that browser: age, the formula sex input, height, weight, unit preference, and a valid body-fat result calculated by the Body Fat Calculator. No account is required, and those Shared Stats are not sent to FitCalc. FitCalc Plans are calculated locally in the browser.

With permission, a completed Plan may save activity, goal, target, training context, pace, macro preference, calculation versions, and a compact calculated snapshot locally in this browser. Unfinished assessments and Navy neck, waist, and hip measurements are not saved. Print / Save PDF uses the browser's local print function and does not create a plan file on FitCalc's server. Local storage may be blocked or unavailable in some browsers; calculators continue to work without it.

Saved Plans stay on the same browser and device, do not create an account, and do not sync elsewhere. “Clear saved FitCalc data” removes the saved profile, Plan, persistence choice, compatible Shared Stats, and a pending handoff while leaving Analytics and newsletter choices unchanged.

Google Analytics and consent

FitCalc uses Google Analytics 4 to understand public page visits and improve the site. Analytics storage is denied by default and is enabled only after you select “Accept Analytics.” Advertising storage, ad user data, and ad personalization remain denied.

Calculator analytics uses limited categorical events such as the calculator used and unit system. FitCalc does not intentionally send names, email addresses, contact text, age, sex, body measurements, goals, calorie or macro results, or other calculator entries to Google Analytics. Public pages are measured; Admin pages are not configured with the public analytics integration.

Newsletter and Contact

Newsletter

If you voluntarily subscribe, FitCalc collects the email address you submit for newsletter delivery and operational duplicate prevention. Subscriber records are stored privately outside the public web root and are not displayed publicly. FitCalc does not operate a separate subscriber store for the popup and footer forms.

Contact

If you use the Contact form, FitCalc processes the name, email address, and message you provide so the message can be delivered and answered. Reply-To uses the validated email address you submit.

Cookies and browser storage

• A secure server session supports form security, CSRF protection, rate limiting, and other short-lived operational controls.
• fitcalc.analytics-consent.v1 remembers your analytics choice for up to 180 days.
• fitcalc.newsletter.v1 remembers newsletter dismissal or successful-subscription state so the popup is not repeatedly shown.
• fitcalc.shared-stats.v1 stores the optional calculator Shared Stats described above.
• fitcalc.state.v2 stores the optional reusable profile and, with permission, a completed Blueprint described above.
• fitcalc.persistence-consent.v1 remembers whether this browser may retain those FitCalc details.

You can revisit the Analytics choice through the “Privacy settings” control. Browser storage can also be cleared through your browser settings.

Third parties and questions

Google Analytics is the analytics provider described above. Instagram links take you to an external website; FitCalc does not embed an Instagram tracking widget. External sites apply their own privacy practices.

For a privacy question or request concerning information you submitted, use the Contact page. This page describes FitCalc's current operational behavior and is not a claim that legal counsel has certified the site under every jurisdiction-specific privacy law.
