Privacy Policy

Introduction

At Anion-Gap-Calculation.com, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your data. By using this website, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

This website is an informational medical reference. It is important to understand that we do not collect personal health information through our calculators. All calculator inputs — including laboratory values such as sodium, chloride, bicarbonate, and albumin — are processed entirely in your browser and are never transmitted to our servers or stored by us.

Information We Collect

We collect a limited amount of non-identifying information that helps us understand how the website is used and to improve it. This includes:

• Usage data via analytics — aggregate, anonymized statistics such as page views, visit duration, general geographic region (country or city level), and the type of device or browser used.
• Cookies — small text files stored on your device, used for analytics and, where applicable, advertising. See the Cookie Policy for details.
• Server logs — standard technical logs that may include IP address, browser type, referring URL, and timestamp. These logs are used only for security, troubleshooting, and aggregate analytics, and are not associated with any individual identity.

We do not collect personal health information. The values you enter into any calculator on this site stay in your browser. We have no way of linking calculator inputs to you, and we do not store, transmit, or review them.

How We Use Information

We use the limited information we collect to:

• Improve our content, calculators, and user experience;
• Analyze traffic patterns and understand which pages are most useful;
• Detect and prevent technical problems, abuse, or security issues;
• Display advertising, where applicable, which may be personalized based on your browsing activity as permitted by law and your device settings.

We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as pixels and local storage) for analytics and, where applicable, advertising. Cookies allow us to recognize your browser and remember preferences. We do not use cookies to collect health information or calculator inputs.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the website. For a full description of the cookies we use and how to manage them, please read our Cookie Policy.

Third-Party Services

We rely on reputable third-party services that may set their own cookies and collect usage data under their own privacy policies. These include:

• Google Analytics — provides aggregate traffic and usage statistics. Google's handling of data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google AdSense (where ads are displayed) — may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings.
• Hosting and content delivery providers — process technical data needed to serve the website.

We do not control the privacy practices of these third parties and encourage you to review their respective policies.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under data protection laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Economic Area and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States. These rights may include:

• The right to access the personal information we hold about you;
• The right to request deletion of your personal information;
• The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of personalized advertising;
• The right to object to or restrict certain processing of your data.

Because we do not collect personal health information and operate primarily with anonymized, aggregate data, the personal data we hold about any individual visitor is minimal. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@anion-gap-calculation.com.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

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 do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
