Privacy Policy
At EZSolarCalc.com (“EZ Solar Calc,” “the Platform,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), safeguarding the digital privacy of our visitors is a core principle. This Privacy Policy details the types of information we process, how technical data is handled, and the measures enforced to protect your online security while utilizing our suite of solar design tools and modeling calculators.
By accessing or interacting with EZSolarCalc.com, you acknowledge and accept the data handling procedures outlined throughout this statement.
Every interactive calculation engine, yield projection model, and financial tool hosted on EZSolarCalc.com is designed strictly for educational, planning, and informational references. All mathematical outputs are automated estimates and do not constitute certified engineering blueprints, financial appraisals, or binding solar installation quotes. Photovoltaic performance varies based on local shading, hardware specifications, and utility policies. Always consult a licensed solar contractor, structural engineer, or certified financial advisor prior to making clean energy purchasing decisions. We disclaim all liability for actions taken based on calculator results.
1. Client-Side Browser Computing Model
EZSolarCalc.com is built as an open-access web utility platform. Our computational architecture operates strictly on a client-side execution framework. This means that all mathematical inputs—including your electric bill dollar amounts, estimated system sizes, and local roof parameters—are processed natively inside your own web browser’s JavaScript engine.
Zero Input Data Transmission: None of your specific calculator entries, solar sizing inputs, or financial figures are sent to, logged by, or saved on our web servers. We do not require user account registrations, passwords, or personal login profiles to access any of our interactive tools.
2. Automated Technical Analytics & Telemetry
While we never collect personal identifying information (such as your legal name, physical address, or phone number) through our calculators, our web servers and site diagnostic platforms collect standard, non-identifying technical telemetry automatically. This data may include:
- Device & Hardware Attributes: Operating system profile, viewport resolution, and device class (mobile, tablet, or desktop).
- Browser & Technical Engine: Browser family, build version, and active language settings.
- Traffic Navigation Metrics: Timestamped page requests, session durations, exit nodes, and referring web addresses or search terms.
- Coarse Geographic Location: High-level region or country metrics derived from anonymized IP address routing.
This information is processed strictly in aggregate to diagnose server performance, evaluate content engagement, and optimize website responsiveness across different devices.
3. Cookie Architecture & Local Tracking Technologies
EZSolarCalc.com uses cookies—small digital data files stored on your local device—alongside web beacons to support core functionality, measure user interactions, and deliver relevant programmatic advertising.
The categories of tracking technologies operating on this site include:
- Analytical Cookies: Managed via third-party services like Google Analytics to evaluate site navigation trends, performance bottlenecks, and popular tools.
- Advertising & Retargeting Cookies: Deployed by Google AdSense and its advertising partners to serve customized ads tailored to your general web browsing interests.
- Essential State Cookies: Used to temporarily retain local UI settings (such as unit preferences or dark/light mode toggles) during your browsing session.
You can adjust, block, or delete cookies at any time through your web browser’s security settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may impact certain interactive formatting features across our calculators.
4. Programmatic Advertising (Google AdSense)
EZSolarCalc.com displays customized advertisements provided by Google AdSense. Google utilizes cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve targeted ads to users based on prior visits to our platform and other destinations across the web.
- To manage or opt out of personalized advertising delivered by Google, visit Google’s Ads Settings.
- To opt out of broader third-party vendor interest-based advertising, visit AboutAds.info.
EZSolarCalc.com does not directly control, endorse, or verify the specific products, services, or claims presented inside third-party banner advertisements served by Google AdSense.
5. Traffic Diagnostics (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to monitor traffic flows and site performance. Google Analytics uses anonymized IP masking protocols to gather aggregate usage data without identifying individual site visitors. To prevent your session data from being processed by Google Analytics across all websites, you can install the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. External Web Links
Our educational articles and calculator documentation may occasionally reference links to external web destinations, government energy databases (such as NREL or NASA insolation indexes), or municipal utility resources. EZSolarCalc.com has no operational control over the content, security measures, or privacy policies enforced by external websites. Clicking an external link subjects you to that specific domain’s operational policies.
7. Protecting Children’s Online Privacy
In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), EZSolarCalc.com does not knowingly target, solicit, or store information from children under 13 years of age. Our tools and content are intended for general adult audiences, property owners, and business operators. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information through our contact channels, please notify us immediately, and we will promptly delete that data.
8. Data Security Precautions
Because all solar calculations run locally within your web browser, your mathematical inputs are never transmitted across the open internet to our servers. For general website delivery, we enforce encrypted SSL/TLS (HTTPS) data transmission protocols across our entire platform to protect visitor interactions against interception. However, no internet-connected platform can guarantee absolute 100% data transmission immunity.
9. User Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA Compliance)
Depending on your jurisdiction (such as the European Economic Area under GDPR or California under the CCPA/CPRA), you possess specific legal rights regarding your digital data footprint, including:
- Right to Disclosure: The right to request information on how your technical analytics data is collected and processed.
- Right to Erasure: The right to request the deletion of any personal communications or contact records stored by us.
- Right to Opt Out: The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of technical data for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Because we do not store calculator inputs or maintain user database accounts, we hold no personal calculation data to export or delete.
10. Revisions to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to modify or update this Privacy Policy at our discretion to reflect technical upgrades, regulatory shifts, or website operational changes. Any policy revisions will be posted directly to this page with an updated “Effective Date.” Your continued use of EZSolarCalc.com following any posted modifications indicates your ongoing agreement to the updated terms.
