Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 8, 2025
Welcome to the Fuel Price Calculator Kenya. Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that are collected and recorded by our tool and how we use it. This policy applies solely to the functionalities of this web-based tool and does not apply to any other website or offline service.
1. Information We Collect
Our goal is to collect the absolute minimum information necessary to provide you with a functional and useful tool. We do not require you to create an account or provide personally identifiable information like your name or email address to use our service. The information we collect can be broken down into two categories:
- Information You Voluntarily Provide: This is data you actively enter into the calculator to receive a result. This includes the names of towns, your vehicle's make and model, fuel economy figures, journey details (like start/end points and budget), and the amounts you wish to convert. This information is processed in your browser to perform the calculation and is not stored on our servers.
- Information Collected Automatically: To improve functionality and your user experience, we automatically collect some non-personal information. This includes your preference for the light or dark theme and your chosen language (English or Kiswahili). This is stored locally in your browser's Local Storage to remember your settings for your next visit. We do not collect your IP address or precise geolocation data.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect strictly for the purpose of operating and improving the Fuel Price Calculator. Here’s how:
- To Provide Core Functionality: The town names and fuel-related data you enter are used directly to fetch and display the relevant EPRA fuel prices and calculate costs for journeys and full tanks.
- To Personalize Your Experience: Your saved theme and language settings are used to present the website in your preferred format, making it more user-friendly for you.
- To Improve Our Service: We may analyze aggregated, anonymous usage patterns (e.g., which features are used most often) to understand how we can make the tool better. This data contains no personal information and is used purely for development and enhancement purposes.
3. Data Storage and Security
Your privacy and data security are fundamental to our tool's design.
- Local Storage: All data that is "remembered" between visits (your theme and language choice) is stored in your browser's Local Storage, not on our servers. This data remains on your device and you have full control over it. You can clear this data at any time through your browser's settings.
- Server-Side Data: We do not have a database that stores user-inputted information like your journey plans or calculation history. Each session is stateless from our server's perspective.
- Security Measures: We implement standard security measures, such as using HTTPS (SSL/TLS) to encrypt all communication between your browser and our server, protecting the data in transit.
4. Cookies
The Fuel Price Calculator Kenya does not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes. The only data persistence we use is the browser's Local Storage for the functional purposes mentioned above (theme and language settings).
5. Third-Party Services
This tool is self-contained and does not share your data with third-party advertising or tracking services. Our financial tool links (e.g., to the Salary Calculator) navigate to other tools we operate, which are governed by their own respective privacy policies.
6. Children's Privacy
Our service is not directed to anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with any information, please contact us so that we can take necessary action.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes are effective when they are posted on this page.
