Privacy policy

Introduction

Ingredient Tally ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website.

Information we collect

Ingredient Tally is a client-side application. We do not collect, store, or transmit your recipe, ingredient, or calculator inputs. All calculations are performed locally in your browser.

If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address and message content, so we can respond to your inquiry.

Examples of calculator inputs may include recipe servings, ingredient names, quantities, units, oven temperatures, or pan sizes. Those entries are used in your browser to show the result and are not saved to an Ingredient Tally account because the site does not provide user accounts.

Cookies and advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also visit aboutads.info to learn about opting out of some third-party vendors' uses of cookies for personalized advertising.

Third-party services

Google AdSense and other third-party vendors or ad networks may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to help serve and measure ads. Please review Google's Privacy Policy for more information about how Google uses data.

The site may also use normal hosting, security, browser, or analytics signals that are typical for operating a public website. These signals can include IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and error information. We use this kind of information to keep the site available, troubleshoot issues, and understand which pages need clearer content.

How we use information

We use information to operate Ingredient Tally, respond to messages, improve calculator explanations, maintain security, and support advertising where applicable. We do not sell personal recipe inputs because those inputs are not collected or stored by our calculators.

If users report an issue by email, we may use the details they provide to reproduce a calculator problem or clarify an article. For example, a message about flour density or pan conversion may lead to a clearer FAQ or better explanation, but personal contact messages are not published as article content.

When we update pages, we focus on general educational improvements such as clearer definitions, better internal links, improved mobile readability, and more transparent notes about measurement assumptions.

Data security

Since recipe and calculator inputs are processed locally and are not stored on our servers, we do not retain those inputs. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, but we limit the information we collect.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
