Welcome to Board Batten Calculator (https://boardbattencalculator.com/). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our website, you agree to the terms described below.
1. Who We Are
Board Batten Calculator is an independent, individually-run website that provides a free online tool to help users estimate board and batten spacing for home improvement and DIY projects. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us at boardbattencalculator@gmail.com.
2. Information We Collect

Our board and batten calculator runs entirely in your browser. Any measurements or numbers you enter into the calculator are not stored, saved, or sent to our servers or any database. Once you close or refresh the page, that data is gone.

We do not share your data with any other third party for marketing purposes.
