At HowTall.eu, we prioritize your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website. We are committed to transparency in our data practices.

1. Data Controller

The controller of your data is the operator of the HowTall.eu website. If you have any questions regarding this policy or your data, please contact us via the contact form available on our website.

2. How We Process Data

A. Local Processing

The core functionality of our tools (height comparison, BMI calculator, centile charts) is processed locally within your browser. When you input your height, weight, or age, this data is not sent to our servers for processing unless you explicitly choose to share your results.

B. Shared Results

If you use the "Share" feature to generate a link to your comparison, we store the anonymized data necessary to recreate that comparison (e.g., height values, names/labels of objects) in our database. This data is not linked to your personal identity and is used solely to generate the shared view.

3. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience and analyze website traffic. We use a Consent Management Platform to give you control over these cookies.

Types of Cookies We Use:

• Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function (e.g., saving your cookie consent preferences). They cannot be disabled.
• Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4): These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use Google Consent Mode v2 to respect your privacy choices. If you deny analytics cookies, we will not store analytics cookies on your device.
• Advertising Cookies: We may use these to show you relevant advertisements. Currently, we may not display ads, but if we do in the future, these cookies would be used to personalize ads and measure their performance.

4. Your Rights

Under GDPR and other privacy laws, you have rights regarding your data, including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Since we collect minimal personal data (mostly anonymized usage data), most traditional data subject requests may not be applicable. However, you can always:

• Opt-out of analytics and marketing cookies via our Consent Manager.
• Request deletion of shared comparison links you have created (if you can provide the link).

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top.
