This Privacy Policy explains what information I collect when you use Ballistics Toolkit, how I use and share it, and your choices regarding that information.
Ballistics Toolkit is a free, non‑commercial, static web application. The site owner does not maintain user accounts, mailing lists, or a server‑side database of personal information.
By accessing or using the Services, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
Ballistics Toolkit collects only limited data:
Usage data via Google Analytics (Consent Mode): I use Google Analytics with Consent Mode to collect usage information. This operates in two modes:
In both modes, IP addresses are anonymized.
Cookies and local storage: The site uses essential cookies for core functionality (such as remembering your preferences and consent choices). Analytics cookies are only set if you explicitly opt in. I do not use advertising or marketing cookies.
Feedback: If you voluntarily contact me (for example, by opening an issue on GitHub), I may collect your username and any information you provide. I do not operate contact forms or email subscriptions.
I do not intentionally collect names, mailing addresses, payment details, or other personally identifying information.
I use analytics data to understand how visitors interact with the website, to diagnose technical issues, and to improve functionality.
I may aggregate and anonymize usage data for statistical or research purposes.
I do not sell, rent, or trade user information.
Google Analytics is the analytics provider. I use Google Analytics Consent Mode, which allows Google to collect basic anonymous data even when you decline cookies, while respecting your choice not to be tracked with persistent identifiers. When you opt in to analytics cookies, Google processes more detailed pseudonymous information. You can learn more in Google's Privacy Policy and its partner‑site policy.
I may share aggregated, non‑identifiable usage statistics in open‑source project reports.
I do not otherwise share personal data with third parties.
Essential cookies: Required for basic operation, such as remembering user preferences for units, simulation options, and consent choices.
Analytics cookies (opt-in only): If you consent to analytics cookies, Google Analytics sets cookies to track sessions and return visits. If you decline, Google Analytics operates in cookieless mode—basic anonymous data (page views, general traffic) is still sent to Google for aggregated reporting, but no cookies or persistent identifiers are stored on your device.
Advertising cookies: None. I do not serve ads.
You can disable or delete cookies via your browser settings. To block all Google Analytics data collection (including cookieless pings), you can install the Google Analytics Opt‑out Browser Add‑on.
If you want to reset your cookie/consent choices for this site, you can clear site data in your browser, or use the button below to reset Ballistics Toolkit consent on this device/browser.
Access and deletion: Because I do not maintain user accounts, I cannot identify individual analytics records. If you wish to manage or delete analytics data associated with your device/browser, you may:
Opt‑out of analytics cookies: You can decline analytics cookies when first visiting the site. This prevents Google Analytics from setting cookies, but basic anonymous data (page views, general traffic) is still collected in cookieless mode for aggregated reporting.
Fully opt‑out of all analytics: To block all Google Analytics data collection (including cookieless pings), install the Google Analytics opt‑out browser add‑on or use a browser extension that blocks analytics scripts.
Children's data: The Services are intended for users aged 18 and older. I do not knowingly collect information from children or minors and will delete any such information if discovered.
Privacy laws such as the GDPR or CCPA grant individuals the right to access, correct, or delete personal data. Because I hold no personal data on servers for Ballistics Toolkit, I cannot directly fulfill such requests; however, I encourage users to use the methods above to manage their data.
I use standard security measures (such as HTTPS) to protect data transmitted to and from the site.
Because I store no user‑identifiable data, risks are limited to the analytics provider. I am not responsible for the security practices of third‑party services.
I do not maintain user databases or log files.
Analytics data is retained by Google Analytics according to its default retention settings; I do not control or shorten these periods.
I operate from the United States, but infrastructure providers and Google Analytics may process data in multiple jurisdictions. By using the Services, you consent to the transfer of your information across national borders.
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Services after the updated policy is posted constitutes acceptance of the changes.
If you have privacy questions or requests, please contact me via the Contact page on the website.
