Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how StreamWaste (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you use our website (the “Site”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about the limited data we handle. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

StreamWaste is designed to work without requiring you to create an account or provide personal details. The calculator runs in your browser, and the subscription figures you enter are used only to display your results — they are not tied to your identity.

• Information you enter: The services, prices and usage ratings you type into the calculator are processed to show your results. When you choose to add a custom subscription to our community suggestions, the service name and a normalised price may be stored so we can show popular additions to other visitors. This data is not linked to you personally.
• Automatically collected information: Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools may automatically record standard technical information such as your browser type, device, approximate region (derived from your browser settings), and pages visited. This helps us understand how the Site is used and improve it.
• Local settings: Your currency preference is detected from your browser locale and may be stored locally in your browser for convenience.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our partners may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, understand usage, and — where advertising is enabled — to serve relevant adverts. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; however, some parts of the Site may not function as intended without them.

Third-Party Advertising

This Site may display adverts served by third-party advertising partners, including Google and its partners. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve adverts based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve adverts based on a user’s previous visits to this Site or other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve adverts to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page at www.aboutads.info/choices.

How We Use Information

We use the limited information we handle to:

• Provide and operate the calculator and its features;
• Display community subscription suggestions;
• Understand and improve how the Site is used;
• Show relevant content and, where enabled, advertising;
• Maintain the security and integrity of the Site.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited technical or aggregated data with service providers who help us operate the Site (such as hosting and analytics providers) and with advertising partners as described above. These providers are only permitted to use the data to perform services on our behalf.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct or delete it, and to object to certain processing. Because StreamWaste does not require accounts and does not associate calculator inputs with your identity, we typically hold very little personal data about you. If you have a request or question about your data, please contact us using the details below.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review it periodically.
