Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 3, 2026

At Electricity Bill Calculator, accessible from https://electricitybillcalculator.in, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we share it, and your rights regarding your data.

Our electricity bill calculator tool is designed with privacy in mind: all calculations are performed entirely client-side in your browser. We do not save, store, or transmit any data you enter into the calculator (such as electricity board, consumer type, units consumed, connection load, or meter readings). No sign-up, login, or account creation is required.

We comply with applicable data protection laws, including India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP), and Google AdSense publisher requirements.

Information We Collect

We keep data collection to the absolute minimum necessary to operate the Site.

a) Information You Voluntarily Provide

  • When you contact us via email (contact@electricitybillcalculator.in) for support, feedback, or queries, we may collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.
  • No personal information is ever required or collected through the electricity bill calculator itself.

b) Automatically Collected Information

When you visit or use the Site, our servers and third-party services may automatically collect:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type, operating system, and screen resolution
  • Pages visited, time spent on the Site, and referral URLs
  • General location data (city/country level only, never precise GPS)

c) Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We and our third-party partners use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to:

  • Remember your preferences (e.g., last selected electricity board for convenience)
  • Analyze Site traffic and performance (analytics)
  • Serve and personalize advertisements (via Google AdSense)

You can manage your cookie preferences through the “Manage Consent” banner on the Site or via your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect functionality.

Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising (AdSense Compliance)

We use Google AdSense (a third-party advertising service) to display advertisements on the Site. This helps us keep the tool free for everyone.

Important disclosures required by Google AdSense:

  • Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this Site and other websites across the internet.
  • This information is used to serve personalized (interest-based) ads based on your browsing history, interests, and previous visits.
  • Google may collect and use data such as your IP address, device information, browser details, and interaction with ads.
  • We do not provide Google with any personally identifiable information (PII) about you.

For detailed information about how Google collects, uses, and shares data for advertising:

  • Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
  • Google Ad Settings (to view, edit, or opt out of personalized ads): https://adssettings.google.com
  • You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from many companies (including Google) through the Digital Advertising Alliance: https://www.aboutads.info/choices or the Network Advertising Initiative: https://optout.networkadvertising.org

Google AdSense also participates in the AdChoices program. Ads displayed on our Site may include the AdChoices icon, which lets you learn more about the ad and control your ad preferences.

We do not sell your personal data to any third parties.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the electricity bill calculator and overall Site experience
  • Respond to your emails and provide customer support
  • Analyze anonymous usage trends (e.g., which states’ tariffs are most popular)
  • Display relevant, non-intrusive advertisements via Google AdSense
  • Detect and prevent fraud, security issues, or technical problems
  • Comply with legal obligations

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We may share data only in these limited situations:

  • With trusted service providers (e.g., web hosting, analytics tools like Google Analytics if used, and Google AdSense) who help us operate the Site. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data.
  • When required by law, court order, or government authority (e.g., legal compliance in India).
  • In aggregated, anonymized form that does not identify you personally.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

  • Calculator inputs are never stored — they exist only temporarily in your browser.
  • Contact emails and related correspondence are kept only as long as necessary to respond and resolve your query (typically no longer than 12–24 months).
  • Log and analytics data are retained in anonymized or aggregated form for up to 26 months.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location (including rights under India’s DPDP Act and global privacy laws), you may have the right to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal data
  • Object to or restrict processing of your data
  • Withdraw consent for cookies or marketing (where applicable)

The Site is hosted in India. If you are accessing the Site from outside India, your data may be transferred to and processed in India or other countries. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
