Privacy Policy

Who we are

Ring Size Converter operates this website. Where this policy refers to "we", "us" or "our", it means the operator of this site. If you have any question about this policy, please use our contact form.

Information we collect

We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site.

• Converter inputs. Ring sizes you enter are processed in your browser. We do not store them on our servers or link them to you.
• Contact form submissions. When you send us a message we receive the name, email address, subject and message you provide, so that we can reply.
• Preferences. Your light or dark theme choice is stored in your browser's local storage. It never leaves your device.
• Technical and usage data. Our hosting and analytics providers may log IP address, browser type, device type, referring page and pages viewed, in order to keep the service secure and understand which content is useful.

We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13, and we do not ask for financial or payment details anywhere on this site.

How we use your information

• To provide and maintain the converter, charts and articles.
• To respond to messages you send through the contact form.
• To measure aggregate traffic and improve our content.
• To detect, prevent and investigate abuse, spam and security incidents.
• To display advertising that keeps the site free to use.

We never sell your personal information.

Cookies and similar technologies

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. We and our partners may use the following categories:

• Essential. Needed for the site to function and to remember your theme preference. These cannot be switched off.
• Analytics. Help us understand which pages are visited and how the site performs, in aggregate.
• Advertising. Used by advertising partners to select and measure ads, and in some cases to limit how often you see the same ad.

You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking analytics or advertising cookies will not stop the converter from working.

Advertising partners

This site is supported by advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by Google through Google's Ads Settings, and you can opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising through the industry opt-out pages operated by the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before personalised advertising cookies are set.

Legal bases for processing (UK and EU visitors)

• Legitimate interests — running, securing and improving the site.
• Consent — non-essential analytics and advertising cookies, where consent is required.
• Contract or pre-contract steps — responding to an enquiry you send us.

How long we keep data

Contact form messages are retained only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and keep a reasonable record of correspondence. Aggregate analytics data is retained according to our analytics provider's standard retention settings. Preference data stays in your browser until you clear it.

Sharing your information

We share information only with service providers who help us operate the site — hosting, email delivery, analytics and advertising partners — and only to the extent needed for them to provide their service. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of users.

International transfers

Our service providers may process data in countries outside your own, including the United States. Where that happens, transfers are made under appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or an equivalent mechanism.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to withdraw consent, and to data portability. California residents may request details of personal information collected and may opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information — we do not sell personal information.

To exercise any right, contact us through the contact form. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the limited data we hold, including encrypted connections. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Links to other sites

Our articles may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Significant changes will be highlighted on the site.
