Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy policy explains how appliance-energy-cost-comparer.hub2.day handles information when you visit or use this site. The site is a focused, independent web utility that helps homeowners and renters estimate and compare appliance energy costs. We aim to be transparent about what data is collected, how it is used, and what choices you have.

Information We Collect

Browser-Local Inputs

The appliance wattage, usage hours, and electricity rate you enter are processed in your browser to calculate cost estimates. These inputs are generally not sent to our servers unless you explicitly use a feature that requires server-side processing. Where possible, data stays on your device.

Contact Email

If you contact us at hello@appliance-energy-cost-comparer.hub2.day, we will use your email address and message content solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact emails to marketing lists or share them with unrelated third parties.

Server and Security Logs

Our hosting provider may automatically log technical information such as IP addresses, request timestamps, browser type, and referring URLs. These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, and operational troubleshooting. Log data is retained only as long as reasonably necessary and is not used for individual profiling.

Cookies and Local Storage

This site may use cookies or browser local storage for essential functionality, preference storage, and advertising purposes. Advertising-related cookies may be set by Google AdSense or its partners to personalize or measure ad performance. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.

Where applicable, you will be presented with a consent mechanism that allows you to accept or decline non-essential data processing. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences or contacting us.

Data Retention
