Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Blackmount Tools (tools.blackmount.ai) is operated by Blackmount.ai Inc. ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our free online calculators and tools.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide

• Email address — only if you voluntarily submit it through a lead capture form (e.g., newsletter signup, tool alerts).
• Contact information — only if you email us directly.

Most tools require no personal information at all. You can use them without signing up or providing any data.

Information collected automatically

• Usage analytics — pages visited, tools used, time on page, referring URL.
• Device information — browser type, operating system, screen resolution.
• IP address — for analytics and security purposes. We do not use it to personally identify you.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Improve the product — understand which tools are popular, identify bugs, prioritize new features.
• Communications — if you opt in, we may send product updates or new tool announcements. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• Security — detect and prevent abuse or unauthorized access.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Some third-party ad features may not function if cookies are disabled.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google AdSense — displays ads on tool pages. May collect data per Google's policies.
• Google Analytics — tracks anonymous usage data.
• Stripe — if we offer premium features, Stripe handles payment processing securely.

6. We Do Not Sell Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing or any other purpose. Period.

7. Data Retention

• Email addresses from lead capture forms are retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
• Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymized form.
• Tool inputs (calculator values) are processed entirely in your browser and are not stored on our servers.

8. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Deletion — request that we delete your personal data.
• Opt out — opt out of marketing emails at any time.
• Opt out of sale — we do not sell your data, but you can contact us to confirm.
• Portability — request your data in a machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@blackmount.ai. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures. Most of our tools run entirely in your browser — your calculator inputs never leave your device. For any server-side data, we use encryption in transit (TLS) and secure access controls.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
