Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how EngiBench may collect, use, store, and protect information when you visit EngiBench.com, use engineering calculators and technical tools, submit information through website forms, or otherwise interact with the website.

Important: This policy is written for the EngiBench website and should be kept consistent with the actual WordPress plugins, analytics tools, cookie settings, forms, hosting services, and third-party services enabled on the live site.

1. Information We May Collect

The types of information collected depend on how you use the website and which website features are enabled.

Information You Provide

If you contact EngiBench, submit a form, or otherwise voluntarily provide information, we may receive information such as:

  • your name;
  • email address;
  • company or organization, if provided;
  • the content of your message or inquiry;
  • other information you choose to submit.

Technical and Usage Information

When you access the website, the hosting platform, security tools, analytics services, or other website infrastructure may automatically process technical information such as:

  • IP address;
  • browser type and version;
  • device and operating-system information;
  • pages visited and approximate visit times;
  • referring pages or websites;
  • general interaction and performance information;
  • security, diagnostic, and server-log data.

2. Engineering Calculator Inputs

Most EngiBench calculators are designed to perform calculations in the browser from values entered by the user. Calculator inputs may include engineering quantities such as pressure, flow, voltage, current, temperature, dimensions, efficiency, power, torque, or other technical data.

Unless a specific feature clearly states otherwise, calculator inputs are intended for calculation purposes and should not be treated as a secure storage service for confidential, proprietary, export-controlled, personal, or sensitive information.

3. How We May Use Information

Information may be used for purposes including:

  • operating and maintaining EngiBench.com;
  • responding to messages or support inquiries;
  • improving calculators, content, usability, and website performance;
  • understanding general website usage and traffic patterns;
  • detecting abuse, spam, security threats, or technical problems;
  • meeting legal, regulatory, or compliance obligations where applicable;
  • protecting the rights, security, and integrity of EngiBench and its users.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Depending on the live website configuration, EngiBench may use cookies or similar browser technologies for essential website functionality, preferences, security, analytics, or other permitted purposes.

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services integrated into the website. The exact cookies used can change when website plugins, analytics providers, security services, advertising settings, or other integrations change.

Where required by applicable law, visitors may be given choices regarding non-essential cookies through a cookie consent or preference tool.

5. Analytics

EngiBench may use website analytics services to understand how visitors use the site, identify popular tools, measure page performance, diagnose problems, and improve the user experience.

Analytics providers may process information such as device data, approximate location derived from IP address, browser information, referral source, page views, and interaction data according to their own privacy terms and the website's configuration.

6. Hosting, Security, and Infrastructure Providers

EngiBench may rely on third-party providers for website hosting, content delivery, security, backups, email delivery, form processing, analytics, or related technical infrastructure.

These providers may process limited information as necessary to provide their services, maintain website security, prevent abuse, or comply with applicable law.

7. Third-Party Links and References

EngiBench calculators and technical articles may link to government agencies, regulatory sources, standards organizations, manufacturers, engineering references, educational resources, and other third-party websites.

EngiBench does not control the privacy practices of those external websites. When you follow an external link, the privacy policy and terms of the destination website apply.

8. How Information May Be Shared

EngiBench does not need to sell personal information in order to provide engineering calculators and technical content. Information may, however, be disclosed when reasonably necessary to:

  • provide website hosting, security, analytics, email, form, or technical services;
  • respond to lawful requests, legal process, or regulatory obligations;
  • investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or violations of website terms;
  • protect the rights, property, safety, and security of EngiBench, users, or others;
  • support a business reorganization, transfer, merger, or similar transaction if one occurs.

9. Data Retention

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including website operation, security, communication, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, or legal obligations.

Retention periods can vary depending on the type of data, the service provider involved, the nature of the request, technical backup practices, and applicable legal requirements.

10. Data Security

EngiBench uses reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect website information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

No website, hosting system, network, or internet transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should avoid submitting sensitive or confidential information unless it is necessary and an appropriate secure method is provided.

11. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may provide rights regarding personal information, which can include rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or information about certain processing activities.

Some rights may be subject to legal exceptions, identity verification, technical limitations, or record-retention requirements.

If a cookie preference tool is available on the website, you may also be able to adjust certain non-essential cookie settings through that tool.

12. Do Not Track and Browser Controls

Browsers may provide cookie controls, tracking-prevention features, or “Do Not Track” signals. Because technical standards and website services vary, EngiBench may not respond to every browser signal in the same way.

You can use browser settings to block, delete, or limit cookies, although disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.

13. Children's Privacy

EngiBench is an engineering and technical website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13 through the website.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information through EngiBench, please contact us so the situation can be reviewed.

14. International Visitors

EngiBench may be accessible from many countries. Website information may be processed or stored in countries where hosting providers, service providers, or website infrastructure are located.

Privacy and data-protection requirements vary by jurisdiction. Where applicable, EngiBench aims to handle information in accordance with the legal requirements that apply to the relevant processing activity.
