Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 14, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Kj to Calories Converter (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We operate the website https://kj-to-calories.com (the “Site”).

We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights in relation to that data. We have designed this policy to be transparent and compliant with major international privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for our users in the Netherlands and UK, the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) for our Australian users, and US state laws like the CCPA.

By accessing or using our Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We prioritize data minimization. As a simple converter tool, we avoid collecting personal data unless absolutely necessary.

A. Information You Provide to Us

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you:

  • Contact us via email (e.g., sending inquiries to richerich900@gmail.com).
  • Submit feedback or report a bug.

This information may include your name and email address. We only use this to respond to your specific inquiry.

B. Information Automatically Collected

When you visit the Site, our servers (and third-party service providers) automatically collect certain “Usage Data.” This data does not reveal your specific identity (like your name) but may include:

  • Device Information: Type of device (mobile/desktop), operating system, and browser type.
  • Log Data: IP address, time and date of visit, referring URLs, and pages viewed.
  • Location Data: General geographic location (country or city level) derived from your IP address.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following legitimate business purposes:

  1. To Provide the Service: To ensure the converter tool functions correctly on your specific device and browser.
  2. To Improve Our Website: Analyzing Usage Data helps us understand which countries our users come from (e.g., Australia, Netherlands, UK, USA) and how they interact with the Site, allowing us to fix bugs and improve user experience.
  3. To Communicate with You: If you email us, we use your address solely to reply to your message. We do not use your email for marketing newsletters unless you explicitly ask to join one.
  4. Security and Fraud Prevention: To monitor for suspicious activity and protect the integrity of our Site.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies (small text files stored on your device) to enhance your experience.

  • Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function.
  • Analytics Cookies (e.g., Google Analytics): We may use third-party tools to track anonymous traffic statistics. These help us see how many users visit from specific regions like the Netherlands or Australia.
  • Advertising Cookies (e.g., Google AdSense): If we display ads, third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites.

Your Control: You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings. However, doing so may affect your ability to use certain features of the Site.

5. Third-Party Services and International Data Transfer

Because our users are worldwide, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your own, primarily where our servers and third-party providers (like Google) are located, such as the United States.

We ensure that any transfer of data is conducted with appropriate safeguards. By using the Site, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to facilities that may not have data protection laws as comprehensive as those in your country (e.g., the GDPR in Europe).

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you have specific rights regarding your data:

For Users in the European Union (Netherlands) and the UK (GDPR/UK GDPR)

You have the right to:

  • Access: Request copies of your personal data.
  • Rectification: Request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
  • Erasure: Request that we delete your personal data (“Right to be Forgotten”).
  • Restrict Processing: Object to the processing of your data for certain purposes.

For Users in Australia (Privacy Act 1988)

We adhere to the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

  • Anonymity: Where lawful and practicable, you have the option of not identifying yourself when dealing with us (e.g., using the converter without providing a name).
  • Access and Correction: You may request access to personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct it.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will delete it immediately.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, please remember that no transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
