1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how FunctionallyUseless.com (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information in connection with the health calculators and tools available at functionallyuseless.com/health (the “Health Tools”).
The Health Tools are designed to be used without creating an account or entering identifying personal details such as your name, email address, or contact information. Most calculations run directly in your browser using JavaScript.
2. Information You Enter Into the Health Tools
The Health Tools allow you to enter values such as height, weight, age, sex, body measurements, dates, activity level, and heart rate. These inputs are used solely to perform on-screen calculations and display results to you.
For the current implementation of these tools:
• Calculator inputs are processed in your browser using client-side scripts.
• We do not require you to create an account to use the tools.
• We do not intentionally use calculator inputs to personally identify you.
Depending on how your browser and hosting environment are configured, technical details such as your IP address or general usage patterns may still appear in standard server logs or analytics tools (see “Usage Data and Analytics” below), but the calculator inputs themselves are not designed to be stored as individual health records.
3. Usage Data and Analytics
Like many websites, we may use standard server logs or analytics tools to understand how the site is used, improve performance, and maintain security. This usage data can include information such as your IP address, browser type, approximate location, pages visited, and timestamps.
When analytics are enabled, the data is used in aggregate to understand general trends—for example, which tools are used most frequently or which devices access the site. It is not intended to be used to create individual health profiles.
4. Cookies and Local Storage
The Health Tools are designed to function with minimal reliance on cookies. However, the site or third-party services (such as analytics providers) may use cookies or similar technologies to:
• Remember basic preferences (for example, visual settings);
• Measure traffic and usage patterns; or
• Help protect the site from abuse.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features but should not prevent basic calculator functions from working.
5. Third-Party Links and Services
The Health Tools pages may contain links to other websites or services that are not operated by us. If you click a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any site you visit.
6. Children’s Privacy
The Health Tools are intended for general information and are not specifically targeted at children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through this site, please contact us so we can review and address the situation as appropriate.
7. No Medical Records or Professional Advice
The Health Tools provide general educational information. They are not designed to create or store formal medical records and should not be treated as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional with questions about your health, medical conditions, or results from these tools.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Health Tools, the technologies we use, or applicable law. When we make changes, we will update the “Privacy Policy” page on this site. Your continued use of the Health Tools after any update indicates that you have read and understood the revised policy.
9. Contact
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how the Health Tools handle information, please contact the site owner using the contact details provided on FunctionallyUseless.com.
