Introduction
Last updated: July 2025
Topsoil Calculator ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website accessible at ugstechs.com (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect — or more accurately, how we do not collect — information when you use our Service.
By using Topsoil Calculator, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not use the Service.
Information We Collect
We do not collect, store, transmit, or process any personal information. All calculations performed by Topsoil Calculator are executed entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript. No measurement data, project details, or calculation results are ever sent to our servers or to any third-party server.
The only data that persists between visits is stored in your browser's local storage (see the "Local Storage" section below). This data consists solely of user preferences (such as theme, unit settings, and density defaults) and any calculations you choose to save. This information never leaves your device.
We do not require account creation, do not ask for your name or email address, and do not maintain any user databases.
Cookies and Tracking
Topsoil Calculator does not use cookies for tracking purposes. We do not employ analytics cookies, advertising tracking pixels, or any form of user-behavior monitoring technology.
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any similar third-party tracking services. No data about your browsing behavior, IP address, geographic location, or device information is collected by us.
If your browser is configured to accept cookies, you may receive cookies from content delivery networks (CDNs) used to serve the website's static assets. These cookies are purely functional and do not track personal information.
Local Storage
Topsoil Calculator uses your browser's built-in localStorage to save certain preferences and data locally on your device. This includes:
- Theme preference — your selected light or dark mode setting.
- Unit preferences — your preferred measurement units (imperial or metric).
- Default density settings — your preferred soil type and density values.
- Saved calculations — any projects or calculations you explicitly choose to save for future reference.
This data is stored exclusively on your device. It is never transmitted to any server, including our own. You can clear this data at any time through your browser's settings (typically found under "Site Data" or "Local Storage" in your browser's privacy or storage settings). Clearing this data will reset your preferences and remove any saved calculations.
Third-Party Services
The Topsoil Calculator application itself does not connect to any third-party services, APIs, or external platforms. All functionality is self-contained within the website.
If this website displays advertisements (for example, through Google AdSense or a similar advertising network), those third-party advertising services may use their own cookies and tracking technologies to serve relevant ads. We do not control the data practices of these advertising providers, and their use of data is governed by their own respective privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party advertising services you encounter.
Any externally hosted fonts, stylesheets, or scripts loaded by the website are standard web resources and do not transmit personal data back to their providers in connection with your use of the calculator.
External Links
The Topsoil Calculator website may contain links to external websites, including educational resources, product recommendations, or partner sites. These links are provided for your convenience and reference only.
We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or security of any external websites. Clicking on an external link will take you away from our Service, and we recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any website you visit. The inclusion of any link does not imply our endorsement of the linked website or its operators.
Children's Privacy
This website is a general-purpose landscaping tool and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children of any age. Since our Service does not collect personal information at all, there is no risk of children's data being gathered or stored.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has somehow provided personal information through a third-party service linked from our site, please contact us and we will assist in addressing your concern.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect — or do not collect — your information. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
Contact Us
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your data, please reach out to us through our contact page. We are happy to clarify any aspect of our data practices.
