1. Information We Collect
We collect information in a few different ways depending on how you interact with the site. The amount of information involved is generally limited because you do not need an account to use the calculator or read our content.
1.1 Information you provide directly
If you contact us by email or through the contact page workflow, you may provide your name, your email address, the subject of your message, and the contents of your inquiry. That information is provided voluntarily. You are never required to create a profile, provide payment information, or submit identity documents in order to use the calculator.
If you choose to email us from your own email client, the message is also subject to the privacy practices of your email provider. We only control how we handle the message after we receive it.
1.2 Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure and standard web technologies may log technical information when you visit the site. This can include your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, requested pages, dates and times of access, and general diagnostic information used to keep the site stable and secure.
We may also learn broad usage patterns such as which pages are visited most often, which calculators are opened, and whether a page appears to load correctly on common screen sizes. In many cases, this information is aggregated or operational in nature. It is used to understand performance, detect problems, and improve the experience rather than to build detailed personal profiles.
1.3 Information stored in your browser
Some site features rely on browser storage. For example, the calculator may store unit preferences and recent estimate history in local storage on your device so the interface can feel more consistent between visits. That information remains in your browser unless you clear it. It is not treated as an account record on our servers.
Calculator inputs are primarily processed in your browser. In general, entering dimensions, paver sizes, or cost assumptions into the tool does not create a separate user account with us, and those entries are not automatically emailed to our team.
1.4 Information from cookies or similar technologies
We may use limited technical cookies, local storage, or similar browser technologies to keep essential features working, remember non-sensitive preferences, or support security and reliability. See Section 3 for more details about cookies, local storage, and related technologies.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use information only for the purposes that are reasonably connected to operating the site, supporting users, and improving the usefulness of the service.
To provide and maintain the service. We use technical and usage information to make sure pages load correctly, calculator logic behaves as expected, and the site remains available and secure.
To respond to inquiries. If you send us a message, we use your name, email address, and the content of the message to respond. We do not use contact inquiries as a pretext to sign people up for unrelated marketing lists.
To improve the site. Feedback, error reports, and broad usage signals help us identify confusing content, broken links, interface issues, or planning assumptions that need to be updated.
To maintain continuity in your browser. Preference settings such as measurement units, along with recent estimate history stored locally in the browser, allow returning visitors to pick up where they left off without reconfiguring the tool each time.
To protect the site and users. Operational data may be used to detect abuse, investigate unusual traffic patterns, resolve technical failures, and guard against spam or malicious activity.
Where applicable under privacy laws such as the GDPR, our legal bases for processing may include your consent, our legitimate interests in operating and improving the service, and compliance with legal obligations. Because the site does not require user accounts for core functionality, many interactions involve minimal personal data by design.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. In addition to cookies, websites may use browser storage features such as local storage or session storage for similar functional purposes.
At the time of this policy update, Paver Cost Calculator does not include a broad advertising tracker stack or third-party analytics platform in the site code. The more relevant browser-side technologies for this site are limited functional mechanisms such as local storage for preference and history features, along with ordinary technical processes involved in loading fonts and serving pages.
| Technology type | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential technical storage | Supports core functionality, security, or page delivery | Session or short-term operational need |
| Preference storage | Remembers selected units or similar interface settings | Until cleared by you or overwritten |
| Recent estimate history | Keeps calculator results available in your own browser for convenience | Until cleared by you or replaced by newer entries |
You can manage cookies and browser storage through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to review stored data, clear site data, block some or all cookies, or configure site-by-site permissions. Be aware that clearing browser storage may remove saved preferences and recent estimate history from the calculator.
If we add broader analytics, advertising, or other tracking technologies in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy to describe those tools and the choices available to you at that time.
4. Third-Party Services
We may rely on third parties to provide pieces of the service, even when we do not share personal information with them for marketing purposes.
Hosting providers. Our site is hosted on third-party infrastructure, and that infrastructure may generate standard server logs or use operational security tools as part of normal website delivery.
Google Fonts. The site loads fonts from Google-hosted font services. When your browser requests those font files, Google may receive technical information such as your IP address and browser metadata in order to deliver the fonts.
Email providers. If you contact us, your message may travel through your own email provider, our email provider, and any related messaging infrastructure necessary to deliver and store the correspondence.
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to advertisers or data brokers. We do not operate a third-party marketing list built from contact form inquiries. When we choose service providers, we aim to use services that are appropriate for a small informational site and reasonably aligned with applicable privacy standards.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer period is required by law, dispute resolution needs, or legitimate record-keeping obligations.
Contact messages and related email correspondence may be retained for up to 24 months so we can maintain continuity in support, review prior corrections, and document how issues were resolved. In some cases, messages may be kept longer if they concern ongoing legal, security, or operational matters.
Standard server logs are typically retained for shorter operational periods, often around 90 days, although exact durations can depend on hosting and infrastructure settings. Information that remains only in your browser, such as local preferences or estimate history, stays there until you clear it or your browser removes it.
If you ask us to delete personal information you provided directly, we will evaluate that request and, where appropriate, act on it within a reasonable time, generally within 30 days.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Those measures may include HTTPS encryption, limited access to contact correspondence, sensible account hygiene for administrative systems, and periodic reviews of the website setup.
Because the site is primarily a static informational website with browser-side calculation logic, the overall exposure of personal information is lower than on account-based platforms. That said, no internet transmission method and no electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. We cannot promise perfect security, only that we take security seriously and try to minimize unnecessary data collection in the first place.
If you believe information connected to this site has been compromised, contact us promptly at contact@aigotowork.work so we can investigate.
7. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights regarding personal information. These rights can vary by jurisdiction, but they may include the right to access information about you, request correction of inaccurate information, ask for deletion, object to certain processing, or request a portable copy of data you provided directly.
You also have practical browser-level choices. You can clear local storage, remove cookies, adjust site permissions, use privacy-focused browser settings, or contact us directly to ask how we handle a specific kind of information. If you do not want calculator history or preferences stored locally, you can clear site data in your browser at any time.
To exercise a privacy request, email contact@aigotowork.work. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request so we do not disclose or delete information for the wrong person. We aim to respond to legitimate requests within 30 days, although some requests may require additional time if they are unusually complex.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, California, or another jurisdiction with privacy-specific rights, you may also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority or regulator. We encourage you to contact us first so we have a chance to address the issue directly.
8. Children's Privacy
Our website and services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and in some jurisdictions under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The site is intended for homeowners, DIY users, contractors, and other adults planning paving projects.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact contact@aigotowork.work. If we learn that personal information was collected from a child without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
9. Links to Other Websites
Our site may include links to third-party websites, including manufacturer pages, industry resources, home-improvement references, and other sources cited for educational purposes. Those links are provided for convenience and context.
We do not control the content, terms, or privacy practices of third-party sites and are not responsible for how those sites collect or use information. When you leave our site, we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external website you visit before sharing personal information or relying on site-specific claims.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our site, our operational practices, legal requirements, or the technologies we use. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
If a change is material, we may also provide a more prominent notice elsewhere on the site. We encourage you to review this page periodically, especially if you are a returning user who relies on the calculator or contacts us regularly.
Your continued use of the website after an updated policy becomes effective means you accept the revised policy to the extent permitted by law.
11. Contact Us
If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us:
