Privacy Policy
This policy applies to both the MHNow Lab articles (WordPress) and the calculator tools (/calc/) on mhnowcalc.com. It explains information collection and use, advertising, analytics, comments, and related features.
Summary
- No account is required to read articles or use the calculator tools.
- We store submitted builds and research values, browser-based favorites and settings, and information related to comments and likes you submit.
- We may collect access logs. Advertising, analytics, and external content providers may also collect information through cookies and similar technologies.
1. Information collected
This site may collect access logs including IP address, browser and device details, referrer, visited pages, and access times. The calculator tools store submitted builds and research values; WordPress handles comment and like information. Inquiries provide us with your email address and message. The sections below describe each feature and external service.
2. Purposes of use
Information supports articles, calculation and storage features, saved preferences, research aggregation, comment moderation, like counts and duplicate-vote prevention, service improvements, troubleshooting, spam and abuse prevention, and inquiry responses. Analytics helps improve the site; advertising services support ad delivery and measurement.
3. Information sent to external providers
Advertising, analytics, avatars, and external content may cause your browser to send page URLs, IP address, browser and device details, and identifiers such as cookies to Google or other providers. The sections below explain recipients and purposes; providers process information under their policies. Apart from public comments and similar submissions, we do not voluntarily disclose personal information received through submissions or inquiries without consent, except for processing needed to operate the service or where required or permitted by law.
4. Cookies and browser storage
The tools use sessions and cookies for settings such as language, and local storage for favorites and activation-rate settings. WordPress may also use cookies for language selection, login sessions, and saved comment details. You can restrict or delete cookies and clear site data in your browser, but this may reset preferences, remove saved data, or limit features. Details on comments, advertising, and analytics follow below.
5. Advertising (including Google AdSense)
This site may use or introduce advertising from third-party providers, including Google AdSense. When ads are served, providers and networks such as Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on previous visits to this and other sites. Google advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to display personalized ads based on that information.
You can disable personalized advertising in Google Ad Settings. For choices offered by other advertising providers, consult their policies or the industry opt-out page below. Changing these settings does not necessarily remove ads.
- Google Ad Settings (manage personalized ads)
- Advertising provider opt-out (Digital Advertising Alliance)
- Google advertising technologies and policies
WordPress article pages and similar pages use Ninja AdMax advertising. Ninja Tools and its partners may use cookies, browsing history, IP address, and device information for ad delivery, measurement, and identifier matching. Related identifier services, including those of Intimate Merger, may also load. See the provider and partner information below for details and opt-out choices.
6. Google Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics to analyze traffic. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and process usage information such as visited pages, device and browser details, access times, and interactions. We use it to understand usage trends and improve features and content. See the information and privacy policy below for how Google handles this data.
On supported browsers, the Google Analytics opt-out add-on lets you disable the use of data by Google Analytics. You can also manage cookies in your browser settings.
7. WordPress comments
When you comment, we collect your name, email address, optional website URL, comment text, submission time, IP address, and browser user agent. We use this information to display and moderate comments, communicate, and prevent spam or abuse. Published comments display the name, text, date, and any website link or avatar. Email and IP addresses are not displayed in the normal comment area. Do not include personal information you do not want public in your name or comment.
If you select the option to save your name, email, and website in the comment form, cookies store those details for future comments. This is optional. Deleting browser cookies does not delete submitted comments or server records.
8. Likes (WP ULike)
WordPress likes use WP ULike. To count votes and prevent duplicates, the site may record the article, voting time, and IP address; logged-in votes may be linked to a user ID. Cookies or similar mechanisms may be used depending on settings and usage. Like counts are displayed on articles. Clearing browser cookies alone does not delete vote records stored on the server.
9. Avatars (Gravatar)
WordPress author and comment areas may display Gravatar images. A hash generated from an email address may be sent to Gravatar to look up an avatar. Loading images may also send IP address and browser information to the provider. See the policy of its operator, Automattic, for details.
10. External links and content
This site links to external services, including development support and community services. Check each service’s privacy policy and terms for how information is handled when you use it.
WordPress may load resources such as Google Fonts, Xserver web fonts, and X widgets. Providers may receive IP address, browser information, and referrer details, and some features may use cookies. For Google, see its Privacy Policy linked above; other provider policies are linked below.
11. Retention and deletion requests
Comments and related records may be retained to preserve discussions and prevent abuse. Other information is retained as needed for service operation, maintenance, and legal obligations. To request access, correction, or deletion, contact us below with details such as the relevant page and submission time. After verifying your identity, we will explain what we can do. You can remove browser-stored favorites by clearing site data. For information held by external providers, follow their procedures.
12. Policy updates
This policy may be revised when our features or external services change. Revisions will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
