StepsConverter ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website stepsconverter.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use the Site, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using StepsConverter, you agree to the practices described here.
We have made the Site as privacy-respecting as possible: our calculators run in your browser and we do not require accounts, logins, or sign-ups to use them.
Information you give us directly. The only place you can actively submit information is our contact form. If you choose to contact us, we collect the name, email address, and message content you provide, solely so we can respond to you.
Calculator inputs. The numbers you enter into our calculators (such as step counts, height, weight, or distance) are processed in your browser to produce a result. We do not store these inputs on our servers or link them to your identity.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our third-party providers automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages visited, and time spent on the Site. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 3).
