Privacy Policy - MSHIU.info

Introduction

MSHIU.info ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website mshiu.info (the "Site") and use our online tools and calculators. We designed this policy to be transparent and easy to understand, so you know exactly what happens when you use our services.

By accessing or using MSHIU.info, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these practices, please discontinue use of the Site. This policy complies with applicable data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), where applicable.

Information We Do NOT Collect

A fundamental principle of MSHIU.info is that our tools run entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. This means:

Tool Inputs: When you use our calculators, converters, or generators, the data you enter (numbers, text, measurements) is processed locally in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers.
Calculation Results: The results generated by our tools stay on your device. We do not see, store, or have access to what you calculate.
Personal Financial Data: Sensitive information like loan amounts, income, BMI, or password inputs never leaves your computer.

This client-side architecture ensures your complete privacy when using our tools. You can confidently use our financial calculators, health calculators, and other tools knowing your data remains yours alone.

Information We Automatically Collect

Like most websites, we automatically collect certain non-personal information when you visit MSHIU.info. This information helps us understand how visitors use our site and improve our services:

Server Logs: Our web server may log standard information including IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and visit timestamps. This data is used for security, troubleshooting, and aggregate analytics.
Usage Analytics: We may use analytics services to understand site traffic, user behavior, and tool popularity. This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be traced back to individual users.
Cookies: We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and serve relevant advertisements. See our Cookie Policy section below for details.

Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

MSHIU.info displays advertisements served by Google AdSense and potentially other third-party advertising networks to support our free service. These advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites.

Google AdSense

Google AdSense is a third-party vendor that serves advertisements on our Site. Google AdSense uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visit to this site and other sites on the Internet. These cookies allow Google and its partners to display ads based on your visits to our site and other sites on the Internet.

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

Google AdSense: Serves display ads and uses cookies for ad personalization.
Google Analytics: Provides website analytics to help us understand site usage.
CDN Providers: We use content delivery networks (Cloudflare, Google Fonts, Font Awesome) to serve static assets efficiently.

These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect or receive information from our Site and elsewhere on the Internet. They use this information to provide measurement services and target ads. The use of cookies by these third parties is subject to their respective privacy policies, not ours.

How We Use Collected Information

We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes:

To Operate and Maintain the Site: Server logs help us monitor uptime, diagnose technical issues, and prevent abuse or security threats.

Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. MSHIU.info uses the following types of cookies:

Essential Cookies: Required for the basic functionality of the website. These cannot be disabled as the site would not work properly without them.
Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our site so we can improve the user experience.
Advertising Cookies: Used by Google AdSense and other ad networks to display relevant advertisements and measure ad performance.
Preference Cookies: Remember your settings and preferences for a personalized experience.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. However, some parts of our Site may not function properly without cookies. To opt out of personalized advertising from Google, visit Google Ads Settings.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

Right to Access: You can request information about what personal data we hold about you.
Right to Rectification: You can request correction of inaccurate personal data.
Right to Erasure: You can request deletion of your personal data (subject to legal exceptions).
Right to Object: You can object to processing of your data for marketing purposes.
Right to Data Portability: You can request a copy of your data in a portable format.

Since our tools do not collect personal data (all processing happens in your browser), most of these rights are automatically satisfied. For analytics or server log data, contact us at contact@mshiu.info to exercise these rights.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the limited information we collect. These measures include SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit, secure server configurations, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Because our tools process data locally in your browser, your most sensitive information (calculations, inputs) is inherently protected by never being transmitted.

Children's Privacy

MSHIU.info is not directed to children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it. Our tools are designed for general educational and utility purposes and do not contain content inappropriate for minors.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
