Baking Calculator ("we," "our," or "the site") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
Calculator Data
All calculator inputs and computations are performed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No calculator input data is transmitted to our servers. We do not store, log, or process any recipe, ingredient, or measurement data you enter into our calculators.
