Our commitment to protecting your privacy and data.

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Effective Date: March 3, 2026

At Ventrips, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how our website operates. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection, use, and protection.

The fundamental principle: We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information or calculation data you enter into our calculators, tools, or games. All operations happen entirely in your web browser.

Information We Do NOT Collect

Ventrips is designed to respect your privacy. We explicitly do not collect or store:

  • Personal identification information (name, email, phone number, address)
  • Financial information entered into calculators (income, expenses, loan amounts, interest rates)
  • Health data entered into health calculators (weight, height, measurements)
  • Any text, code, or content you input into our tools (JSON data, Base64 strings, etc.)
  • Game progress or scores (except locally in your browser's storage)
  • Passwords or sensitive credentials of any kind

All calculations, conversions, formatting operations, and games run entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Nothing you type or upload is transmitted to our servers.

How Sharing Works (Query Parameters)

Many of our calculators include a "Share" button that allows you to generate a shareable link. When you click this button, your input values are encoded into the URL as query parameters (the part after the "?" in a web address).

Example: ventrips.com/calculator/split-bill?total=100&people=4

These query parameters serve a single purpose: to pre-fill the calculator when someone opens the link. They are:

  • Read entirely by JavaScript running in your browser
  • Never sent to or stored on our servers
  • Visible to anyone you share the link with
  • Not tracked, logged, or monitored by Ventrips

Privacy Tip: Only share links containing information you're comfortable others seeing. Never include sensitive data in shared calculator links.

Local Storage

Some calculators and games use your browser's local storage to save preferences or game state. This data:

  • Remains entirely on your device
  • Is never transmitted to our servers
  • Can be cleared at any time through your browser settings
  • Is specific to your browser and device

Local storage is used solely to improve your experience by remembering settings or game progress between visits.

Third-Party Services

While Ventrips itself does not collect your data, we use third-party services to operate and improve our website:

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use Ventrips. This service collects anonymized information such as:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Browser type, device type, and screen resolution
  • Geographic location (country/region level only)
  • Referring website (how you found Ventrips)

Google Analytics uses cookies to track these metrics. No personally identifiable information is collected. You can opt out of Google Analytics using browser extensions like Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or privacy-focused extensions like uBlock Origin.

Google AdSense

We display advertisements through Google AdSense to support the free operation of Ventrips. Google AdSense may:

  • Use cookies to display relevant advertisements
  • Collect information about your browsing habits across websites
  • Allow you to manage ad preferences through Google Ad Settings

You can control ad personalization, opt out of personalized advertising, or use ad-blocking browser extensions to prevent ads from loading entirely.

Vercel (Hosting Provider)

Ventrips is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect standard web server logs including IP addresses, request URLs, and timestamps for security and performance monitoring. These logs are not used for tracking individual users and are subject to Vercel's privacy policy.

Cookies

Ventrips uses minimal cookies for essential website functionality:

  • Analytics Cookies: Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish users and track page views.
  • Advertising Cookies: Google AdSense uses cookies to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance.

We do not use cookies for authentication, user accounts, or any form of personal data collection beyond analytics and advertising. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

Children's Privacy

Ventrips does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. Our calculators and tools are designed for general audiences. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

Data Security

Since Ventrips does not collect or store personal data, there is no centralized database of user information that could be compromised. All calculations happen in your browser, and the data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to share it.

Our website is served over HTTPS, ensuring that communication between your browser and our servers is encrypted and secure.

Your Rights and Choices

You have complete control over your privacy when using Ventrips:

  • Opt Out of Analytics: Use browser extensions or privacy settings to block Google Analytics.
  • Block Ads: Use ad-blocking extensions to prevent Google AdSense from loading.
  • Clear Local Data: Clear your browser's local storage and cookies to remove any saved preferences or game progress.
  • Use Privacy-Focused Browsers: Browsers like Firefox with Enhanced Tracking Protection or Brave provide additional privacy protections.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post any updates on this page with a revised "Effective Date" at the top.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Ventrips collect or store my personal information?

No. Ventrips does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information you enter into our calculators, tools, or games. All calculations and operations happen entirely in your browser.

What are the query parameters I see in shared URLs?

When you use the Share button on a calculator, we encode your input values into the URL as query parameters. This allows you to share pre-filled calculators with others. These parameters are read client-side in your browser and are never sent to our servers.

We use only essential cookies for basic website functionality and analytics. Google Analytics uses cookies to understand how visitors use our site. We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes beyond standard analytics.

How does Google Analytics affect my privacy?

We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate usage patterns such as popular calculators and page views. Google Analytics may collect anonymized data like browser type, referring site, and pages visited. You can opt out using browser extensions like uBlock Origin.

How does Google AdSense work on Ventrips?

We display advertisements through Google AdSense to support the free operation of Ventrips. Google AdSense may use cookies to show relevant ads. You can manage your ad preferences through Google's Ad Settings or use an ad blocker.

Can I use Ventrips without sharing my data with third parties?

While we don't collect your calculation data, Google Analytics and AdSense do collect anonymized usage data. You can use browser privacy extensions or ad blockers to minimize third-party data collection while using Ventrips.
