Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how stepstokm.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you use our website and calculators.

What we collect

• Usage data: aggregated metrics (e.g., page views, device type, approximate region) to improve performance and UX.
• Server logs: standard web logs (IP address, user-agent, timestamps) for security and reliability.
• Messages you send: if you contact us via the contact page, we receive what you submit.

What we do not collect by default

• No accounts or passwords are required to use the calculator.
• No medical records or health histories.
• No precise geolocation from your device (beyond what may be inferred from IP in server logs).

Calculator inputs

Stride presets, height/sex selections, steps, and distance values are processed to display estimates. Unless otherwise stated, these inputs are handled on your device by your browser; we do not receive them unless you submit them to us (e.g., via a form). Results are generated to help you estimate distance or steps only and are not stored in user accounts.

How we use information

• Provide, maintain, and improve the calculators and site
• Secure the service, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot
• Respond to messages you send

Legal bases (EEA/UK)

• Legitimate interests for basic analytics, security, and service improvement
• Consent where required (e.g., non-essential cookies or a newsletter, if introduced)

Retention

Contact messages are kept as long as needed to respond and maintain records. Logs and analytics are kept for a limited period consistent with security and operations.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with trusted service providers that help us run the site (e.g., hosting, security, analytics), bound by confidentiality and data-protection obligations. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or the integrity of the service.

Your choices & rights

• You can use the calculators without creating an account.
• If you’re in the EEA/UK, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. To exercise rights, contact us via the contact page.
• California residents may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA and can contact us to make a request.

Cookies & analytics

If we use analytics, we prefer privacy-respecting tools and minimal data. If any non-essential cookies are introduced, we will provide notice and controls where required by law (e.g., a banner and settings).

Data security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No internet service is 100% secure, but we work to keep risk low.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13 (or the age required by local law). If you believe a child provided personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. If changes are material, we’ll take reasonable steps to notify you (e.g., a site banner).
