RV TowCalc

Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 20, 2026

The short version: We do not collect personal information through our calculators. All calculations happen in your browser. We use anonymous analytics to understand site usage and may display ads via Google AdSense, which uses cookies. We do not sell your data.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

RV TowCalc is a client-side calculator. This means:

  • No account or registration. We do not ask you to create an account, log in, or provide a name, email address, or any other identifying information to use our calculators.
  • No calculation data stored. The numbers you enter into the calculators (vehicle specs, trailer weights, passenger weights) are processed entirely in your browser. They are never transmitted to or stored on our servers.
  • No personal data collection. We do not knowingly collect personal data from any user of our calculator tools.

2. Anonymous Analytics

We use Google Analytics (property ID: G-1RG0YYSNZP) to understand how visitors find and use our site so we can improve it. Google Analytics collects anonymized usage data such as:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • General geographic location (country, state/region level)
  • Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet) and browser
  • Traffic source (search engine, direct, referral)
  • Aggregate, non-identifying usage patterns

This data is aggregated and anonymous—it cannot be used to identify you personally. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this data. You can opt out by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by disabling cookies in your browser settings.

For more information about how Google Analytics collects and processes data, see Google's Privacy & Terms page.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Analytics: Google Analytics cookies help us understand site usage patterns. These cookies collect anonymous data and do not identify you personally.
  • Advertising:If we display Google AdSense ads, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features but will not prevent you from using our calculators.

4. Advertising (Google AdSense)

This website may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google AdSense is a third-party vendor that uses cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. The cookies used by Google AdSense include:

  • __gads and __gpi: Used to track how users interact with ads
  • IDE: Used by Google to personalize ads on sites that use Google AdSense

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party cookies in your browser settings. For more information about how Google uses data when you use our site, see Google's Privacy & Terms.

We do not control which specific ads Google displays, nor do we have access to the individualized data Google collects for ad personalization. Advertising on this site does not influence our calculations or safety assessments.

5. Server Logs

Like most websites, our hosting provider (Vercel) automatically collects and stores certain technical information in server logs. This may include:

  • IP address (used for security and diagnostics, not tracking)
  • Browser type and version
  • Pages requested and timestamps
  • Referring URL

This information is used solely for website security, error diagnosis, and performance optimization. It is not linked to any personal information and is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

6. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.

7. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any site you visit.

8. Your Rights

Since we do not collect personal data through our calculators, there is no personal data for you to access, correct, or delete from our systems. However, you have the following options:

  • Disable cookies: You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. This will limit analytics and advertising personalization but will not affect calculator functionality.
  • Opt out of personalized ads: Visit Google Ads Settings to opt out of interest-based advertising.
  • Use an ad blocker: You are free to use ad-blocking browser extensions while using our site.
  • Do Not Track: We respect Do Not Track signals in supporting browsers.

If you are a resident of California (CCPA), the European Union (GDPR), or other jurisdictions with data protection laws, and you believe we have collected personal data from you, please contact us and we will address your request promptly.

9. Data Security

Because we do not collect or store personal data through our calculators, there is no personal data at risk of breach from calculator use. The anonymous analytics data collected by Google Analytics is stored on Google's infrastructure and is subject to Google's security measures.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
