Privacy policy

Last updated 2026-09-16

The short version: the calculators run entirely in your browser and we do not receive, see, or store the answers you enter. The rest of this page is the detail behind that statement.

Calculator answers

Every scoring tool on this site calculates its result in your own browser using JavaScript. The values you enter are never sent to our servers, never logged, and never stored by us in any form.

The “Copy link” feature on a calculator encodes your answers into the URL fragment — the part after the # symbol. Browsers do not send the URL fragment to a server on a normal page load, which is a deliberate design choice: it lets you bookmark or share a filled-in result without that data ever reaching us. If you copy and send that link to someone else, the answers travel with the link itself, not through us — treat it the same way you would treat sharing the equivalent information any other way.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are useful and to fix what is broken. It records which pages are viewed, the page you came from, your approximate location, and your browser and device type. We use it for aggregate reporting, not to identify an individual visitor.

Google Analytics is never given what you enter into a calculator. The page address we send it leaves out the URL fragment, which is where a shared “Copy link” keeps its answers, so a filled-in link opened by a visitor does not reveal those answers to Google. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites with Google’s browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

If we add advertising to this site in future, this policy will be updated first, and any third-party advertising or analytics provider will be named here along with what they collect.

Cookies and local storage

Google Analytics sets first-party cookies, named _ga and _ga_ followed by an identifier, to tell separate visits apart. Where the site stores anything else in your browser — a remembered preference, for instance — it stays in your browser and is never transmitted to us. We do not use cookies for advertising profiling.

If you contact us

If you email us — to report an error, ask a question, or request a correction — we receive whatever you choose to include in that email, and we use it only to respond to you and to fix the issue you raised. We do not sell or share it with third parties.

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for clinicians, researchers, and adult patients. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and as explained above, the calculators do not collect personal information from anyone.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a way that matters — most importantly, if we ever begin collecting data we do not collect today — we will update the date above and describe the change here rather than silently editing the page.
