Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 28, 2026
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how K8sCalc (“we”, “us”, or “our”), operating at https://k8scalc.com, collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices.
By using K8sCalc, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.
2. Information We Collect
We do not collect personal information directly. K8sCalc has no user accounts, no registration forms, and no input fields that ask for personal data. All calculator and generator inputs are processed entirely within your browser and are never transmitted to our servers.
However, certain information is collected automatically through the third-party services we use:
- IP address and approximate location (country/city level)
- Browser type, operating system, and device type
- Pages visited, time spent on pages, and referral source
- Clicks on advertisements and affiliate links
This data is collected in aggregate and anonymised form by Google services (Analytics and AdSense) and Vercel Analytics, and is not linked to any individual identity by us.
3. Google AdSense and Advertising
K8sCalc uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense is a third-party advertising service operated by Google LLC.
Google uses cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising:
- Visit Google Ad Settings
- Opt out via AboutAds.info (US) or YourOnlineChoices.com (EU)
- Disable cookies entirely in your browser settings

4. Vercel Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors use K8sCalc. Vercel Analytics collects anonymised, aggregate data about page views, session duration, geographic region, and traffic sources. No cookies are set by Vercel Analytics. Data is anonymised before storage and is not linked to personally identifiable information.
5. Cookies
K8sCalc itself does not set any first-party cookies. The third-party services we use (Google AdSense) do set cookies on your device. The cookies used are:
- Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense to serve personalised advertisements
- Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics to measure site traffic and usage patterns
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Vercel Analytics does not use cookies.
6. Affiliate Links and Disclosure
K8sCalc contains affiliate links to cloud hosting providers (such as Hetzner, Vultr, DigitalOcean) and GPU cloud platforms (such as RunPod, Lambda Labs). If you click one of these links and create an account or make a purchase, we may receive a commission or referral credit from that provider.
This does not affect the price you pay or the quality of service you receive. Our calculator tools, comparisons, generators, and editorial content are not influenced by affiliate relationships. Pricing data shown in calculators is sourced directly from provider APIs or official pricing pages.
7. Third-Party Links
Our site contains links to external websites including cloud providers, documentation, and open-source projects. These third-party sites are governed by their own privacy policies. K8sCalc has no control over and accepts no responsibility for the privacy practices of any external site.
8. Your Rights — GDPR (EU/EEA Users)
If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
- Right to access — request a copy of any personal data held about you
- Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
- Right to erasure — request deletion of your personal data
- Right to restrict processing — request that we limit how we use your data
- Right to data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Right to object — object to data processing, including profiling for advertising
Because K8sCalc does not directly collect or store personal data, most of these rights apply primarily to data held by Google. You can exercise your rights against Google directly through Google My Account.
For any privacy-related enquiry specific to K8sCalc, contact us at contact@k8scalc.com.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with Portugal's data protection authority: Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD).
9. Children's Privacy
K8sCalc is not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data through this site, please contact us at contact@k8scalc.com.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of K8sCalc after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
