What information ProjectCostKit collects, how the calculators store your numbers on your own device, and how cookies and ads work on this site.
This policy explains what information ProjectCostKit (https://projectcostkit.com) collects and how it is used. If you have a question about it, email hello@projectcostkit.com.
The short version
- The calculators work entirely in your browser. The numbers you type are not sent to us.
- We do not ask you to create an account.
- If you email us, we use your email only to reply.
- This site may use analytics and advertising services that set cookies, described below.
Calculator data stays on your device
To save you retyping, the calculators remember your last inputs, your units and your currency in your browser's local storage. The estimate builder does the same with your business details and line items. This information stays on your device. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's site data, or with each tool's reset button.
Information we collect
When you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. We use it to answer you and keep the conversation in our inbox. We do not sell it or add you to a mailing list without asking.

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as pages visited, time on page and general location, and reports it to us in aggregate.
