1. Client-Side Calculator Input Processing

Every valuation tool and calculator hosted on Scrap Gold Calculator operates locally in your web browser memory using JavaScript. This includes, but is not limited to, the following tools:

• Karat Specific Calculators: 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K Scrap Gold Value Calculators.
• Item Specific Calculators: Scrap Gold Jewelry Calculator (rings, chains, bracelets, earrings), Gold Coin Scrap Value Calculator (Sovereigns, Eagles, Krugerrands), and Gold Filled Scrap Value Calculator (1/10 12K, 1/20 12K, GF items).
• Weight Unit Converters: Gram (g), Pennyweight (DWT), Troy Ounce (ozt), Grain (gr), and Milligram (mg) conversions.
• Payout & Buyer Margin Estimator: Refining fee deduction sliders, assay cost models, smelting melt loss percentages, and net cash payout projections.
• Live Rates & Spot Price Visualizers: Multi-metal comparisons (Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium) and currency exchange toggles (USD, CAD, AUD, GBP, EUR, INR).

Our Privacy Guarantee: The weights you enter, karat choices you select, custom spot prices you set, and estimated cash values calculated on our website are processed client-side in browser memory. They are never transmitted to our servers, saved to user accounts, or logged. All computation takes place in your local browser session and is purged when you navigate away or close your browser tab.

2. Client-Side Processing & Session State

Calculations run directly on your device without transmitting entered inventory, weights, or monetary figures to our servers:

• In-Memory Computation: Calculator state and form values remain in temporary browser memory during your active page session.
• No Account Tracking: We do not maintain user accounts, saved portfolios, customer profiles, or marketing databases.
• User Autonomy: Closing or refreshing the page clears all active calculator inputs from browser memory.

3. Live Spot Rate API Connections

Our calculators fetch live gold, silver, platinum, and palladium spot rates from bullion market feeds. When your browser requests price updates:

• Requests contain standard, anonymous HTTP GET parameters strictly for rate retrieval.
• No user input values, item inventories, or gold weight data are included in any API feed request.

4. Server Access Logs & Infrastructure Security

Like standard web infrastructure, hosting servers collect basic access log details (such as IP address, user-agent string, requested URLs, and access timestamps) strictly for security monitoring, DDoS mitigation, and operational reliability. Log files are not cross-referenced with calculator inputs or individual users.

5. Cookies and Advertising Disclosures

We may partner with third-party advertising networks (such as Google AdSense) to support website maintenance and free public access to our tools. These vendors may use cookies or web beacons to serve ads based on your prior browsing history.

You may opt out of personalized ad targeting at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.

6. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA / CPRA)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

• No Data Sale: Scrap Gold Calculator does not sell, rent, trade, or monetize personal information or user gold calculation data.
• Inquiries & Erasure: If you contact us by email, you may request inspection or deletion of the communication records we retain where applicable.

7. Children's Online Privacy (COPPA)

Our financial valuation tools are intended for adult consumers, jewelers, and investors. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13.
