Privacy Policy

 

Last Updated: April 23, 2025

 

At SmartUnitConverter (the "SmartUnitConverter", "we" or "us" or “our”), we take privacy seriously.  Our privacy policy policy (“Policy”) applies to your use of this website (the “Site”), browser extension, and other software and applications that you can access through the Site (collectively, the “Software”). With this Policy, we demonstrate our commitment to collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing your personally identifiable information (“PII”), which we aim to do fairly. 

Before using the Site or Software, you should read this Policy to understand our policies and practices. If you don’t agree with the terms of this Policy, you should not use the Website or Software.

Please note that the easiest way to ensure we do not maintain, share, or sell any of your PII is by uninstalling our browser extension per the instructions in Paragraph J. below. If you have uninstalled any browser extensions, we will not store any of your PII. 

 

A.    What We Collect

We collect certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information is technical and usage information and may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, the general, non-precise location where your computer or device is accessing the internet, your browser type, operating system, and information about how you navigate the site like the times you viewed certain pages, the links you clicked on, etc. 

When we collect information, we may use this information we collect to improve the performance of computer servers and to administer the Software. For example, this information may be used to analyze trends, track visitor movements, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor preferences. We may also use cookies. Cookies are pieces of data that a website transfers to a user’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes.

We do not track users when they cross over to third-party websites, and therefore, we do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. 

Additionally, we may maintain aggregated data, de-identified data, and non-personally identifiable information about our users, and we may disclose the results of such information to our partners, service providers, advertisers and/or other third parties for our business purposes, including to maintain and improve our Software and to provide Linked Sites (as defined in our Terms).

Last, we may also collect technical and usage information to fulfill our legitimate interest in understanding how users use the Software, and to assist us in more effectively marketing our products and services.

 

B.    Information Sharing 

When we collect PII from you, it is stored in databases hosted by third party providers (cloud storage and retrieval companies) located in the United States. We occasionally hire other third parties to send communications on our behalf. We may send your PII to our third-party service providers and partners to assist us in providing the Software and in delivering Linked Sites.

Setting aside those limited purposes, we do not send your PII to third parties for unless: (a) you request or authorize it; (b) the information is provided to comply with the law (for example, to comply with a search warrant, subpoena or court order), enforce an agreement we have with you, or to protect our rights, property or safety, or the rights, property or safety of our employees or others; (c) to handle emergencies or Acts of God; or (d) to respond to disputes, claims, or to persons demonstrating legal authority to act on your behalf.

 

C.    Location

We are located in the United States, and the information we collect through the Software will be processed in the United States. Your PII is stored on the servers of the cloud-based database management services SmartUnitConverter engages, located in the United States. 

 

D.    Security and Storage

We always use commercially-reasonable efforts to secure your PII, but we can’t always guarantee that these efforts will be sufficient to protect against all efforts to gain unauthorized access to your information.

Any data we collect is also retained for as little time as necessary to accomplish legitimate business purposes. Exceptions may apply if we are required by law or in response to claims. 

 

E.    Updates and Modifications

We may revise or update this Policy occasionally. If we change the way we handle your information, we will notify you by posting the changes on the Site and changing the date on the top of this page. We will endeavor to provide additional notice in advance, such as by a disclaimer on the Site or an email if we have your email address, if we make material changes.

 

F.    Specific Privacy Rights

This Section applies only to United States residents. Please be advised that various US state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, the “CCPA”), provide residents with certain rights regarding their PII.

Before granting any request below, you should know that we are required to evaluate whether the request is provided for under the state laws, as some rights may apply only to residents of certain states. Also, only you, or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. As such, we cannot grant a request until we are able to identify which personal information is associated with you, as well as your state residency. The information you must provide depends on the type of request you make. 

We may also use a third-party verification service to verify your identity. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for Access twice within a 12-month period.

 

If we are able to verify you, your rights may include:

Access Rights: You have the right to request that SmartUnitConverter disclose the categories and pieces of PII we collect, use, disclose, and sell, as well as the business purposes for collecting your information.

Deletion Request Rights: Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request that SmartUnitConverter delete any of your PII that we collected from you and retained over the preceding 12 months.

Opt-Out Rights: Because we may use advertising and analytics for targeted advertising purposes, you may have the right to direct SmartUnitConverter not to “sell” or “share” your PII at any time (the “right to opt-out”). 

Requests to Correct: You may have the right to request that SmartUnitConverter use commercially reasonable measures to correct any inaccurate information that we have about you.

Requests to Limit Use of Personal Information: Under certain state laws, you may direct SmartUnitConverter to only use your sensitive personal information (if applicable) for only those purposes that are necessary to perform our Software.

Non-Discrimination: We do not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights, consistent with various state laws.

If you believe you have a valid right to request any of the rights above, please reach out to us.

To exercise the privacy rights to Access, Delete, Correct, and Limit personal information as described above, or to exercise your opt-out rights, please email us at .

We try to respond to all confirmed consumer requests within 30 days of receiving them, or as otherwise permissible under the applicable law. If we need more time, we will reach out to explain why.

Some states may allow residents to appeal a denial of a privacy-related request. If we decline to process your request, you may have a right to appeal by emailing . We may reject your request for appeal if the state in which you reside does not allow a right to appeal.
