Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using CalcTrail, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our service.

CalcTrail is not intended for children under 13 years of age. By using the service, you represent that you are at least 13 years old.

Quick Summary

  • Personal Use: CalcTrail is provided for personal, non-commercial use unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
  • Service Reliability: The platform is provided "as is" without guarantees of uninterrupted service or perfect accuracy.
  • Analytics & Search: Google Analytics only runs if you accept it via the cookie banner or Cookie Preferences; a separate cookieless tool (Ahrefs Web Analytics) runs for all visitors and only sees page views and a short list of coarse events. Search tracking can be disabled in Settings.
  • Your Data: You retain ownership of your data; we process it only to provide the service and features you use.
  • Account Responsibility: You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and activity.

Use License

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to use CalcTrail for personal, non-commercial purposes. This is a license to use the service, not a transfer of ownership, and under this license you may not:

  • Copy, modify, or redistribute the platform or its content without permission
  • Use the platform for any commercial purpose without a separate agreement
  • Attempt to reverse engineer any software contained in CalcTrail
  • Remove any copyright or other proprietary notices from the materials
  • Use automated tools to scrape, crawl, or bulk-download content beyond what standard search engines do

User Accounts

When you create an account with us, you must provide accurate, complete, and current information. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

Data Collection and Analytics

CalcTrail uses Google Analytics to understand how the platform is used and to guide improvements. Analytics does not run by default — Google Analytics only loads and begins tracking after you choose "Accept" on the cookie banner or in Cookie Preferences. If you choose "Deny" or make no choice, Google Analytics is never loaded and nothing is sent.

Separately, CalcTrail uses Ahrefs Web Analytics, a cookieless analytics tool that runs for every visitor regardless of the cookie banner choice above — it sets no cookies and assigns no persistent identifier, so there is nothing for that choice to turn off. It only ever sees page views and a short list of coarse, non-identifying events (for example, that a search happened or a calculator was opened) — never your calculation values, account details, or search text. See our Privacy Policy for the full list.

What this means:

  • We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), only once you accept, to understand how you use CalcTrail
  • We use Ahrefs Web Analytics, cookielessly and without consent, for basic traffic counting that is not affected by the analytics cookie choice
  • We track anonymized usage patterns (page views, calculator usage, feature interactions)
  • We do NOT track personal information, calculation values, or identifiable data
  • All data is anonymized and used solely to improve the service
  • Tracking only occurs on calctrail.com, never in development environments

Search Query Storage

When you use Global Search, we store your search queries to improve search functionality and provide personalized suggestions:

  • Guest Users: Search queries are stored locally in your browser (localStorage) and never sent to our servers
  • Logged-In Users: Search queries are stored in our secure database and synced across your devices
  • Purpose: Search queries are used solely to improve search functionality and personalize your experience
  • Control: You can disable search tracking in Settings → Search Settings at any time
  • Deletion: You can request deletion of your search history at any time

For detailed information about what we track and how we protect your privacy, please review our Privacy Policy.

Your choices: The cookie banner and Cookie Preferences control Google Analytics only — accepting or declining there does not affect Ahrefs Web Analytics, which is cookieless by design and has no on/off toggle. Every feature of the app works normally regardless of any of these choices. Search query storage can be turned off separately in Settings at any time.

Prohibited Uses

You may not use CalcTrail:

  • In any way that violates any applicable law or regulation
  • To transmit any malicious code or viruses
  • To attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems
  • To interfere with or disrupt the service or servers

Disclaimer

The calculations provided by CalcTrail are for informational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we make no warranties, expressed or implied, and hereby disclaim all warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or suitability of the calculations for any particular purpose.

Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account and access to the service immediately, without prior notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms of Service or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties.

Changes to Terms

We may update these terms as the service evolves or as legal requirements change. When we make material changes, we will:

  • Post the updated terms on this page
  • Update the "Last Updated" date below
  • Display a notice on the website for major updates

We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed of the current terms.

Your continued use of CalcTrail after such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you should stop using the service and ask us to delete your account.
