ClinicalCalc Pro ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, which cookies we use, and your rights. By using clinicalcalc.pro you acknowledge this policy.
1Data We Collect
Email Addresses
Collected voluntarily when you subscribe to our newsletter. Submission is entirely optional.
Feedback & Ratings
Star ratings and optional comments submitted via the feedback page or exit popup. Anonymous unless you provide your email.
Usage Analytics
Aggregated, anonymised data about which calculators are used, page views, session duration, and device/browser type — collected only with your consent.
Local Browser Data
Calculation history, favourites, quick notes, and settings stored locally in your browser. This data never leaves your device.
Advertising Cookies
Google AdSense may set cookies to serve personalised or contextual ads — only if you consent to advertising cookies.
IP Address (via Google)
Google Analytics and AdSense may log your IP address. We have IP anonymisation enabled for Analytics.
2Legal Basis for Processing
Under GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal data. Here is the basis for each type:
| Data Type | Legal Basis | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Newsletter email | Consent | You explicitly opt in. You can withdraw at any time. |
| Feedback & ratings | Legitimate interest | Improving platform quality and safety for healthcare professionals. |
| Analytics cookies (GA4) | Consent | Only activated after you accept analytics cookies in the consent banner. |
| Advertising cookies (AdSense) | Consent | Only activated after you accept advertising cookies in the consent banner. |
| Strictly necessary storage | Legitimate interest | Essential for the platform to function (favourites, history, settings). |
3Cookie Categories
We use Google Consent Mode v2 — all non-essential cookies default to denied until you make a choice. The consent banner on your first visit lets you control each category independently. You can change your preferences at any time using the link in any page footer.
Strictly Necessary
Always active — cannot be disabled
These are essential for the platform to work. They do not track you or collect personal data for advertising.
| Storage | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| localStorage (favourites) | Saves your bookmarked calculators | Until cleared |
| localStorage (history) | Stores recent calculation results | Until cleared |
| localStorage (settings) | Dark mode, language, preferences | Until cleared |
| localStorage (consent) | Remembers your cookie choices | 1 year |
| sessionStorage | Tracks whether popups have shown this session | Tab close |
| Cache Storage | Enables offline access to calculators | Until uninstalled |

| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique users | 2 years | |
| _ga_* | Persists session state | 2 years | |

Advertising Cookies
Requires your consent
Used by Google AdSense to display advertisements. If you consent, Google may serve personalised ads based on your browsing history across sites. If you decline, non-personalised (contextual) ads are shown instead — AdSense still displays ads, just not targeted ones.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDE | Google (DoubleClick) | Personalised ad targeting | 13 months |
| DSID | Identifies signed-in Google users for ad personalisation | 2 weeks | |
| test_cookie | Checks if browser supports cookies | 15 minutes | |
| __gads / __gpi | Google AdSense | Ad frequency capping and fraud prevention | 13 months |
Google Consent Mode v2
We implement Google Consent Mode v2. Before any AdSense or Analytics scripts run, consent signals are set to denied by default. Google's scripts only activate measurement and personalisation features after you grant consent. This ensures no tracking occurs before your choice is recorded.
4Third-Party Services
