Privacy Policy | Electric Shocks

Last updated: October 15, 2026

Welcome to electric-shocks.com (“we”, “our”, “us”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly. If you contact us by email or through a contact form, or leave a comment, we receive the details you submit, such as your name, email address and message. We use this only to respond to you.

Calculator inputs. Our electrical calculators (transformer kVA, circuit breaker sizing, solar panel, wire size, capacitors and others) run in your browser. The values you enter, such as loads, voltages and cable lengths, are used only to produce your result. [Confirm this is true: remove or adjust if any calculator sends data to a server.] We do not require you to create an account or enter personal information to use them.

Information collected automatically. When you visit, we and our third-party partners may automatically collect:

  • IP address, browser type and version, device type and operating system
  • Pages visited, time spent, referring website and approximate location (country or city level)
  • Cookie and similar identifier data

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to:

  • Keep the site working properly
  • Understand how visitors use the site (analytics)
  • Show advertising, including personalized ads where permitted

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work as intended if you do.

3. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

Third-party ad providers have their own privacy policies, and we do not control their cookies or practices.

4. Analytics

We may use [Google Analytics / Google Site Kit / Jetpack, specify which] to understand traffic and improve our content. These services collect usage data such as pages viewed and visit duration, usually in aggregate. You can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. How We Use Your Information

We use information to:

  • Operate, maintain and improve the website and our calculators
  • Respond to your messages and comments
  • Analyze usage and fix technical problems
  • Display advertising that keeps the site free
  • Prevent spam, fraud and abuse
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information.

6. Sharing of Information

We share information only with:

  • Service providers who help run the site (hosting, analytics, advertising)
  • Authorities, when required by law or to protect our rights and users’ safety

7. Data Retention

We keep personal information (such as emails and comments) only as long as needed for the purposes above, or as required by law. Analytics and advertising data are retained according to those providers’ policies.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live (for example under GDPR or similar laws), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, object to or restrict its processing, and withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below.

9. Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Our pages may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please read their policies.

11. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure.

12. Safety Disclaimer

The calculators and tutorials on this site are for general guidance and education. They are not a substitute for a licensed electrician or engineer. Always verify results against local electrical codes and standards before carrying out any electrical work.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it last changed. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated policy.

Before publishing, check these:

  • Analytics tool: name the one you actually use in section 4.
  • Calculators: confirm that none of them send data to a server (section 1).
  • Consent banner: AdSense requires a consent banner for visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland. Google’s certified CMP, or a plugin like Complianz or CookieYes, handles this.
  • Footer link: link the policy in your site footer, since AdSense reviewers look for it.
  • Legal review: I’m not a lawyer, so have this reviewed if you serve users in regulated regions.

If you send me the page URLs again, or paste the text of a page or two, I can tailor the policy to what the site actually does. I can also write an About, Contact or Disclaimer page in the same style.
