Privacy Policy
Your bow specs, arrow components, draw measurements, and balance points stay on your device. This page explains what little data we do collect, how cookies and analytics work, and the steps we take to keep things secure across every calculator in the suite.
Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Arrow Calculator(“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and safeguards information when you visit our website and use our archery calculator suite — the Arrow Speed, FOC, Weight, and Spine calculators.
The short version: your bow's IBO rating, draw length, draw weight, arrow components, string weight, balance points, and unit preferences — across every calculator — are processed locally in your browser and are not sent to or stored on our servers. We only collect basic analytics and what is needed to keep the site running.
Information We Collect
Server Logs & Analytics
When you visit our site, our servers and analytics provider may automatically record information your browser sends. This may include:
- Your IP address (used for rough country/state location, not to identify you)
- Browser type, version, and screen resolution
- The pages you visit and approximate time spent
- The referring page or search query that brought you here
- Approximate region at the country or state level
Messages You Send Us
If you email support or submit feedback, we receive whatever you choose to include in that message — for example, your bow model, IBO rating, draw length, arrow component list, a screenshot of the calculator, and your email address so we can reply.
Your Arrow Setup Inputs
100% Local Processing — Nothing Leaves Your Browser
The values you enter into any calculator in the suite — IBO rating, draw length, draw weight, arrow component weights, string weight, balance point, arrow length, cam type, and unit system (imperial or metric) — are processed locally in your browser. The IBO speed formula, FOC balance-point math, component weight sum, spine deflection logic, kinetic energy calculation, and momentum math all run on your device, not on our servers.
We do not transmit, store, aggregate, or read your bow setup measurements or arrow build details. If you close the tab, that input is gone unless your browser saved it locally for convenience (see Cookies & Storage below).
Cookies & Local Storage
We use cookies and browser local storage to:
- Remember your unit preference (imperial fps/mph or metric m/s/km/h)
- Remember your last-used bow and arrow inputs so you don't retype them across the calculators
- Remember which output unit tab you were viewing
- Measure aggregate traffic and page performance through analytics
- Serve relevant ads if advertising partners are enabled
You can clear these at any time from your browser settings, and the calculator will keep working with its default imperial (fps) settings.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party companies for analytics and to serve advertisements. These companies may use cookies and web beacons to collect non-personal information such as:
- Click and scroll behavior on our pages
- Browser type and version
- Time and date of visits
- Which ads were shown and whether they were clicked
This information is used to improve the site and show ads that may interest you. To learn more about behavioral advertising or to opt out, visit Network Advertising Initiative .
Data Security
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures — including HTTPS/TLS, static hosting with modern CDN edge security, and minimal data retention — to protect the limited data we hold against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Because your bow and arrow setup inputs are processed in your browser and never uploaded, there is no server-side database of your bow specifications, arrow build, or tuning data to breach. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we keep what we do collect to an absolute minimum and delete logs on a rolling schedule.
Your Choices
- Clear your saved unit preference and bow/arrow inputs any time via your browser's site-data settings.
- Block or delete cookies in your browser; the calculators still work with their defaults.
- Opt out of interest-based ads through the Network Advertising Initiative link above.
- Request that any personal information you sent us by email be deleted from our inbox.
If you live in a region with data-protection rights (such as GDPR, UK GDPR, or CCPA), you may contact us to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you.
Children's Privacy
Our Service is a professional archery calculation suite and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly remove it.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of our Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
