This Privacy Policy explains how PM POSHAN Calculator ("we", "us", or "our"), operating the website pmposhancalculator.com (the "Site"), handles information when you use our free Mid Day Meal calculator. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices. By using the Site, you agree to the terms described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
The PM POSHAN MDM Calculator is designed to work without requiring you to create an account or submit personal details. The student counts, dates and other figures you enter into the calculator are processed entirely within your own browser and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.
We may, however, collect limited information automatically, including:
- Log and usage data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, and the dates and times of your visits. This is standard information collected by most websites and our hosting provider.
- Cookies and similar technologies used to keep the Site working correctly and to support analytics and advertising, as described below.
2. How We Use Information
We use the limited information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain and improve the Site and its features.
- Understand how visitors use the calculator so we can make it faster and more useful.
- Detect, prevent and address technical issues, abuse or security problems.
- Display advertising that helps keep the tool free to use.
3. Cookies
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Cookies help a site remember your actions and preferences. Our Site and our partners may use cookies for essential functionality, analytics and advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the Site behave, but the core calculator will continue to work.
4. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense
We may display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this Site.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to this and other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Third-party advertising networks and analytics providers operate under their own privacy policies. We do not control the cookies they set, and we encourage you to review their policies for details on their data practices.
5. Analytics
We may use analytics services to understand traffic and usage trends in an aggregated, non-identifying way. These services help us learn which pages are most useful so we can improve the experience for school staff.
6. Children's Privacy
The Site is intended for use by adults — teachers, Headmasters and MDM staff. Although the calculations relate to school children, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.
7. Data Security
Because the calculator processes your inputs locally in your browser, the figures you enter are not exposed to us. For the limited automatically-collected data described above, we rely on reputable hosting and service providers that maintain reasonable technical and organisational safeguards. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Rights and Choices
You can manage cookies through your browser, opt out of personalised advertising using the links above, and contact us with any questions about your information. Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under applicable data-protection laws.
9. Links to Other Sites
The Site may contain links to government resources or other external websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their policies.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
