Privacy Policy

Introduction

At BoilMyEggs.com, we value your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use information. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information that may be collected when you visit our website and how that information is used to provide you with a better experience.

Google AdSense & Cookies

BoilMyEggs.com uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. These cookies help provide relevant advertisements and support the operation of our free service.

Opting Out of Personalized Advertising:

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings . This will allow you to control how Google uses your data for advertising purposes.

In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, advertising consent is collected with Google's Privacy & messaging (Funding Choices), Google's free certified IAB Transparency and Consent Framework CMP (CMP ID 300). That certified message can appear on reading pages where AdSense is enabled. It is not shown on the calculator homepage or the embeddable timer, where ads are turned off. You can review or change those choices from the consent message on a reading page, or through Google Ads Settings.

Third-Party Vendors

In addition to Google AdSense, other third-party vendors or ad networks may also serve advertisements on this site. These vendors may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activity.

To learn more about how these third-party vendors use your information and to opt out of their use of cookies for personalized advertising, please visit www.aboutads.info , where you can access tools to manage your advertising preferences across multiple vendors.

Data Collection: Altitude & Location

Our website features a "Detect My Altitude" tool that may request access to your device's location data. This feature is designed to automatically determine your altitude and provide accurate egg boiling times based on your elevation.

How Location Data Is Used:

  • Location data is only accessed when you explicitly activate the "Detect My Altitude" feature
  • The data is used solely to calculate your altitude and provide accurate boiling time recommendations
  • This information is processed locally in your browser and is not stored permanently on our servers
  • We do not track your location over time or share your location data with third parties

You have full control over this feature and can decline location access at any time through your browser settings. The calculator will continue to work if you manually enter your altitude instead.

Log Files & Web Beacons

Like most websites, BoilMyEggs.com collects standard log file information when you visit. This may include:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring website
  • Pages visited on our site
  • Date and timestamp of each visit

This information is collected automatically and is used to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement around the site, and gather demographic information. This data is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

Web beacons (also known as pixel tags) may be used by third-party advertisers to collect information about your visit to enhance the relevance of advertisements shown to you.

Analytics

We use Firebase Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Firebase Analytics may collect information such as:

  • Pages you visit
  • Features you use (e.g., calculator, timer)
  • Device and browser information
  • General geographic location (country/region level)

This data helps us improve the user experience and is collected in accordance with Google's privacy policies. No personally identifiable information is collected through our analytics.

Error & Performance Monitoring

We use Sentry to capture unexpected errors and a sample of page performance data so we can keep the calculator working. Sentry may receive the page URL, browser and device details, and a stack trace. We do not send names, emails, or location coordinates to Sentry, and monitoring is only enabled in builds that include a Sentry DSN.

Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information on our privacy practices.
