ChineseGenderCalendar.org ("we," "our," or "the site") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.

Information You Enter Into the Calculator

The Chinese Gender Calendar calculator and the lunar age calculator run entirely in your web browser. The birth dates, conception dates, and predictions you enter are processed locally on your device and are never transmitted to our servers and never stored by us. When you leave or refresh the page, that information is gone.

We do not create user accounts, and there is no login. You can use every tool on this site without providing a name, email address, or any other personal information.

Analytics

We use privacy-conscious analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site, which pages are most helpful, and where we can improve. These tools collect aggregate information such as:

Pages visited and time spent on each page
Approximate location at the country or region level
Device type, browser, and operating system
Referring website or search engine
Anonymous session recordings and heatmaps (used to improve site usability)

Specifically, we use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity for analytics. These services set cookies and may collect additional data according to their own privacy policies. You can learn more at Google's Privacy Policy and Microsoft's Privacy Statement.

We do not attempt to identify individual visitors from analytics data. We use it only to improve content and fix problems.

Advertising and Affiliate Links

This site is supported by display advertising and affiliate relationships with retailers who sell pregnancy-related products. We may use third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, to serve ads. These networks may set cookies or use similar technologies to deliver ads based on your browsing behavior on this and other sites.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.

When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. This does not affect the price you pay. Affiliate relationships do not influence the editorial content on this site.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device. We use cookies for the following purposes:

Essential cookies: required for the site to function properly
Analytics cookies: help us understand how the site is used
Advertising cookies: set by our advertising partners to measure and serve relevant ads

You can disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how the site works but will not prevent you from using the calculator.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under data protection laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Since we do not collect or store personal information from calculator inputs, most data associated with your visit exists only in aggregate form with our analytics and advertising partners.

To exercise rights related to data held by Google, Microsoft, or our advertising partners, please follow the links in each section above to manage your preferences directly with those providers.

Third-Party Links

This site contains links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit through a link on ChineseGenderCalendar.org.

Data Retention

Because we do not collect personal information directly, we do not retain personal data ourselves. Analytics and advertising providers retain data according to their own retention policies, which are described in their respective privacy policies linked above.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
