2. Information We Collect

We collect two broad categories of information: information you provide directly, and information collected automatically when you visit our website.

2.1 Information You Provide

Our website is a conversion tool and does not require you to create an account or submit personal details to use its core features. However, we may collect information you voluntarily provide in the following circumstances:

  • Contact forms or feedback submissions: If you send us a message, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.
  • Newsletter or updates sign-up: If we offer an email list and you subscribe, we collect your email address.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit feet-to-meters.com, certain technical information is collected automatically through standard web technologies. This may include:

  • IP address — used to determine approximate geographic location (country or region level) for analytics purposes.
  • Browser type and version — e.g., Chrome 120, Firefox 115.
  • Operating system — e.g., Windows 11, macOS Ventura, Android 14.
  • Device type — desktop, tablet, or mobile.

This information is collected primarily through cookies and third-party analytics tools (see Section 4 below).

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  1. 1 To operate and improve the website — understanding how visitors use our conversion tools helps us identify bugs, improve performance, and add useful features.
  2. 2 To respond to your enquiries — if you contact us, we use your name and email to reply to your message.
  3. 3 To display relevant advertising — we may use anonymised data to show contextually relevant ads through third-party ad networks (see Section 5).
  4. 4 To analyse traffic and usage patterns — aggregate, anonymised statistics help us understand our audience without identifying individuals.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for their own marketing purposes.

  • Serving our website exclusively over HTTPS (TLS encryption).
  • Restricting access to data to authorised personnel only.

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
