JobsitePad calculates in your browser. The numbers you enter don't go into analytics. Your sizes and results reach us only if you send them in a mistake report. Below is what the site keeps, where, and what leaves your browser.
What you enter
When you press Calculate, your browser does the math on the sizes, quantities, Extra % and prices you entered.
Analytics events record which calculator you used, the mode, the Buy as choice, Imperial or Metric, and how you got to the page. They don't include your sizes, results, prices or Extra %.
The calculators keep field values in the page address, after the ?. Analytics records the page address without that part, so the values in the address don't go into analytics either.
What stays in your browser
There's no account. Your list and settings live in your browser's storage:
| Key | Where | What it stores | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
jsp.project | Local storage | Your My project list: for each line, the calculator, the name you gave it, the calculation, the quantity, the line price if you entered one in Price, and the calculator address with its fields | Until you clear this site's data |
jsp.units | Local storage | Imperial or Metric, only if you switched it yourself. Imperial is the default | Until you clear this site's data |
jsp.theme | Local storage | Light or dark theme, only if you pressed the theme switch. Otherwise the site follows your system | Until you clear this site's data |
jsp.nav.via, jsp.nav.opened | Session storage | Navigation notes: how you got to the page (menu, home page grid, link) and which calculators you opened in this tab. Used to count when someone opens a second calculator | Until you close the tab |
The Clear button in the My project panel wipes the whole list. You can also delete lines one at a time.
If your browser blocks storage (a private window, or site data turned off), the list and settings last until you reload the page.
Printing My project goes through your browser's own print. Nothing goes to our server.
Found a mistake? and Suggest a calculator
Found a mistake? is the link under the calculator on every calculator page. Nothing is sent until you press Send. Before you send, See what's sent shows the exact text we'll get by email. It contains:
- your message;
- the calculator, the page address without the part after
?, and the mode (tab); - the values and labels of the calculator fields, and the result on the display;
- technical details: site version, browser language, window size.
We use mistake reports to fix calculators.
Suggest a calculator is the link in the footer and on the 404 page. If JavaScript is off, the link opens an email to [email protected]. Otherwise it opens a short form. When you press Send, we get your request by email, together with where you opened it (footer or 404 page), the page address without the part after ?, the site version, browser language and window size. No calculator fields are sent.
We use these requests to decide which calculators to add.
We keep mistake reports and calculator requests for up to 12 months, then delete them.
Your IP address is used only to limit sends to 3 a minute. It isn't written into the email, cached or logged. If the same message comes from the same calculator again within 24 hours, we drop it. That check matches the text, not your IP.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC, to see how the site is used. It loads through Google's gtag.js, only on jobsitepad.com, and runs in Consent Mode v2.
Before you answer the cookie bar, and if you press Decline, all four consent signals are set to denied and no analytics cookies are set. Google then gets only anonymous signals without cookies.
If you press Accept, Google Analytics sets _ga and _ga_<ID> and records:
- page views;
- calculations: the calculator, mode, Buy as, and Imperial or Metric;
- field check errors: which field, not what you typed;
- switching the mode or Buy as, Add to project, copying a result, Reset;
- switching Imperial | Metric and the theme;
- opening a second calculator, and how you got there;
- opening and sending Found a mistake? and Suggest a calculator, without the text of your message;
- My project buttons: open, print, delete a line, rename (without the name), clear, open a line, and the other panel buttons;
- general information about your device and browser, and your approximate country.
There are no ads on the site. Google Signals and ad personalization signals are off. Google Analytics keeps event data for 2 months.
Changed your mind? The Cookie settings link in the footer opens the cookie bar again. Press Decline there, and analytics stops and the _ga and _ga_<ID> cookies are deleted.
Hosting
The site is static pages on a Hetzner server in Finland, served through Cloudflare. Cloudflare handles the connection (TLS), caching and protection from bots.
As with any website, the server and Cloudflare see your IP address and the details of each request. The server keeps an access log with the IP address, browser, time and page address. It's used to deliver pages and protect the site. Log entries are deleted after 15 days.
Fonts load from our own server, not from Google Fonts.
There are no accounts, newsletters, ads or payments on the site. The only forms are the two above.
Your rights
If you're in the EU or UK (GDPR) or in California (CCPA), you can ask to see your data, ask us to delete it, or object to its use. Send requests to [email protected].
Almost everything is stored only in your own browser. Clearing this site's data deletes it; Clear in My project deletes the list.
Analytics is based on your consent. Storage in your browser is needed for the features above to work.
We don't sell your data.
Children
JobsitePad is a site for building and remodeling work. There are no accounts, and we don't ask anyone for a name, email or age. Analytics runs only if you accept.
