This policy explains what information is collected when you use kwhstats.com ("kWhStats", "we", "us") and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- No accounts or forms. You can use every page without signing up or giving us your name or email address. If you email us, we use your message only to reply.
- Calculators run in your browser. Numbers you type into our calculators are not sent to us. When you enter a ZIP code, your browser downloads a small data file named after the first three digits of the ZIP code; your full ZIP code is not sent.
- Technical data. Like any website, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes technical information such as your IP address, browser type and pages requested in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are popular. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as pages visited, approximate location and device type. Learn how Google uses this information at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising
The site is funded by advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Ads Settings, and opt out of some other vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. We may also work with other advertising partners, such as Mediavine, and use Grow by Mediavine, a tool that helps measure and improve reader engagement; these partners may also use cookies and similar technologies, as described in their own privacy policies.
Consent in the EEA, UK and Switzerland
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will see a consent message before cookies are used for personalized advertising or analytics, and you can change your choices at any time from the privacy settings link on the site.
Your rights in U.S. states
Residents of some U.S. states, including California, have rights over their personal information, such as the right to know what is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. Because advertising cookies can count as sharing under these laws, you can opt out using the privacy choices link shown on the site, or by emailing us at hello@kwhstats.com. We do not sell personal information in any other way.
Children
The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Links to other sites
Our pages link to other websites, such as government data sources and official state energy-shopping sites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy, for example when we add or change advertising or analytics partners. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
