Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 30, 2026
1. Overview
Pizza Dough Calculator Free (pizzadoughcalculatorfree.com) is an independent, client-side web utility. All calculations, unit conversions, and formula adjustments run locally within your web browser. We do not require account registration, and we do not collect, transmit, store, or sell any personal data.
2. Local Storage (localStorage)
This website uses your browser's built-in localStorage API strictly to preserve your user preferences and draft settings across sessions on your current device. We use three specific storage keys:
- pdc:theme: Remembers your selected appearance mode ("light" or "dark") to prevent visual flashing when pages load.
- pdc:working_draft_v1: Automatically preserves your current formula inputs (such as dough ball count, hydration percentage, yeast type, and preferment allocation) so your uncommitted working draft is not lost when you refresh the page or navigate to the About page.
- pdc:saved_recipes_v1: Stores custom recipes that you explicitly save using the "Save recipe" action under "Saved on this device".
All information stored in localStorage remains entirely on your device. It is never uploaded or synchronized to remote servers or third parties. You can delete this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data or cache.
3. Recipe Share Links
When you generate a recipe link using the "Share" button, the recipe parameters (proportions, yeast type, preferment settings, and optional recipe name) are serialized into a standard base64url JSON payload contained within the URL hash fragment (#recipe=v1...).
URL hash fragments are processed exclusively by your web browser on the client side and are never transmitted to the web server during HTTP requests. Anyone you share the link with can view the formula, but no recipe contents or share histories are logged on our servers.
4. No Cookies, Analytics, or Advertising
Pizza Dough Calculator Free does not use HTTP cookies, tracking beacons, advertising networks, or third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics). We do not profile users, track browsing behavior across other websites, or monetize user data in any way.
5. Hosting and Server Infrastructure
This website is hosted as static files on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may process transient technical connection data (such as IP addresses and standard browser headers) strictly to deliver web assets, protect against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and maintain network stability in accordance with Cloudflare's privacy practices.
