Your Privacy

OuncesExplained (“we”, “us”, or “the site”) is a free measurement and unit-conversion resource available at ouncesexplained.com. We respect your privacy and keep our data practices minimal. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit, how it is used, and the choices you have.

We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect personal information such as your name or address simply for browsing the site. The converters run entirely in your browser — the numbers you type are never sent to our servers.

The limited data we do collect falls into two categories:

• Analytics data — anonymous, aggregated usage statistics (pages visited, approximate region, device type, time on page) collected automatically as described below.
• Contact form data — if you choose to use our contact form, the name, email address, and message you provide so we can respond to you.

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects anonymized information such as the pages you view, how you arrived at the site, your general geographic area, and your browser and device type. This information is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

You can learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You may opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We may display advertising provided by Google AdSense and its partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.

• To operate, maintain, and improve the site and its content.
• To understand which converters and articles are most useful to visitors.
• To respond to messages you send us through the contact form.
• To display relevant advertising that helps keep the site free.

We never sell your personal information.

Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics’ standard retention settings. Messages you send through the contact form are kept only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry.

OuncesExplained is a general-audience educational site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

• Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies at any time.
• Opt out of Google Analytics using the add-on linked above.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
