Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

At Audiobook Speed Calculator, we believe that your privacy is fundamental. **A key differentiator of our service is local processing: we do not store your audiobook titles or durations on any server.** All calculations happen directly in your browser, meaning your data never leaves your device.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

Our calculator tool only processes the information you enter temporarily for calculation purposes:

• Audio duration (hours, minutes, seconds)
• Playback speed preferences
• These inputs are processed locally and not stored on our servers

Automatically Collected Information

We may automatically collect certain technical information:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• IP address (anonymized for analytics)
• Page views and usage patterns (aggregated only)

Local Storage

Our service may use local storage (browser storage) to enhance your experience by remembering your preferences, such as preferred playback speeds or theme settings. This information is stored only on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use minimal tracking technologies:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function properly
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our website (anonymized)

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

Since we don't collect personal information through our calculator, there's no personal data to retain. Technical information and analytics data are retained only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy, typically no longer than 12 months.
