Privacy Policy
Summary of Our Privacy Commitment
At kwtokwh.com, we are deeply committed to safeguarding your privacy. All energy conversions, kilowatt calculations, appliance audits, and solar estimations are processed 100% locally inside your browser. We do not require account registration, nor do we collect, sell, or monetize your personal calculation data.
1. Information We Collect and Process
When you visit or interact with kwtokwh.com, we handle information in the following ways:
Client-Side Calculation Data (Zero Server Logging)
Values entered into the calculator inputs (such as power in watts/kilowatts, operating hours, electricity utility rates, appliance presets, solar panel wattages, or EV battery capacities) are processed strictly within your device’s JavaScript execution environment. This data is never transmitted to or retained on any remote server.
Local Storage & User Interface Preferences
We use your browser’s standard HTML5 localStorage strictly to remember your preferred UI settings (e.g., Light or Dark theme mode, active language preference, and chosen currency symbol). This data remains exclusively on your device and can be cleared at any time via your browser settings.
Standard Web Server Log Files
Like virtually all web properties, our hosting infrastructure automatically logs non-personally identifiable diagnostic data when files are requested. This includes IP addresses, browser user-agent, operating system, referring/exit URLs, date/time stamps, and page request counts for security, bandwidth monitoring, and DDoS prevention.
