Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

This policy explains what information MasonryCalc collects when you use the site, why we collect it, and what your rights are. We've written it in plain English — no legal boilerplate designed to confuse.

Who We Are

MasonryCalc (masonrycalc.com) is a free online tool providing construction material calculators for concrete, gravel, sand, mulch, topsoil, excavation and more. If you have any questions about this policy, use the contact form.

What Data We Collect

MasonryCalc is a simple calculator site. We don't have accounts, logins, or payment processing. Here's what we do collect:

  • Google Analytics — anonymous usage data: which pages you visit, how long you stay, your browser type, device type, and approximate location (city/country level). No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.
  • Google AdSense — advertising cookies that may be used to serve personalised ads based on your browsing history across the web. See the AdSense section below for details.
  • Contact form — if you reach out via the contact form, we receive your name, email address and message. This is used only to respond to your enquiry and is not stored long term or shared with anyone.

We do not collect passwords, payment information, or any sensitive personal data. No account registration is required to use the site.

Cookies

MasonryCalc uses cookies for two purposes:

  • Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics to track anonymous usage patterns.
  • Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense to serve relevant ads.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. You can also use Google's Analytics opt-out tool to stop analytics tracking, and Google's ad settings to manage personalised advertising.

Google AdSense & Advertising

MasonryCalc uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to users based on their visit to masonrycalc.com and other sites on the internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

Third-Party Links

Some pages on MasonryCalc may contain links to external websites. Once you follow a link to another site, this privacy policy no longer applies. We're not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites and recommend you read their policies separately.

Our legal basis for processing is legitimate interests (analytics, site improvement) and consent (advertising cookies). We do not sell your personal data to any third party. To exercise your rights, use the contact form.

CCPA — California Users

If you're a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you additional rights:

  • The right to know what personal information is collected about you
  • The right to request deletion of your personal information
  • The right to opt out of the sale of personal information
