Privacy Policy & Data Protection Charter

1. Client-Side Computational Architecture

At GtoCups.com, we believe privacy is an intrinsic architectural requirement. All mathematical calculations, recipe parsing routines, baker's percentage formulas, and density conversions are executed strictly within your local web browser's JavaScript runtime. Your entered recipe text, proprietary formulas, and custom ingredient quantities are never transmitted to, logged on, or archived across remote databases or cloud servers.

2. Browser Local Storage & Preference Caching

GtoCups.com does not utilize intrusive third-party cross-site tracking cookies. We employ standard browser localStorage solely to preserve non-identifiable user preferences, specifically:

• Volumetric Region Standard: (US Customary 236.6 ml, US Legal 240 ml, or Metric 250 ml) to ensure consistent return sessions without repetitive manual selection.
• Interactive Theme & Fraction Settings: Saved fractional rounding tolerances (e.g. 1/16th cup vs 1/8th cup display limits).

You can clear these preferences at any time by clearing your browser's site cookies and local storage data.

3. Server Logging & Technical Telemetry

When you access our web application, our hosting delivery network automatically collects standard, non-personally identifiable technical access logs to maintain infrastructure uptime, DDoS defense, and global CDN caching efficiency:

• Anonymized IP addresses (truncated/hashed for regional traffic load balancing).
• Browser user agent string and operating system architecture for responsive layout rendering.
• Timestamp, referring URL, and page asset request paths.

These technical logs are automatically purged on a rolling 30-day schedule and are never linked to personal identities.

4. International Privacy Regulations (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)

We fully adhere to the principles of data minimization and privacy-by-design under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). Because we do not require account registration, collect names, or harvest financial credentials:

• No Data Brokering: We never sell, rent, monetize, or disclose user data to third-party marketing brokers.
• Right to Erasure & Access: Since we do not store personal profiles, no server-side personal data exists to retrieve or delete.

5. Policy Updates & Privacy Contact

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect additions to our culinary tools suite. For formal inquiries regarding our data handling or compliance standards, contact our privacy officer via our official contact channel at gtocups.com/contact.
