Privacy Policy
Last Updated & Reviewed: August 18, 2026 • Effective Date: January 1, 2026
At UmrahCalculator.com, we are deeply committed to safeguarding the privacy and digital rights of pilgrims and travelers who utilize our planning tools. This Privacy Policy outlines how our platform operates, what minimal data is processed, and our strict client-side privacy architecture.
- No Account Required: You can calculate complete budgets without providing an email, name, or password.
- Client-Side Computation: All your custom financial figures are calculated in your browser and stored only in your local device storage.
- Zero Data Selling: We never sell, rent, monetize, or trade your personal inputs or browsing history to third-party travel agencies.
- Transparent Geo-Detection: IP-based location is used strictly to auto-suggest your departure airport and local currency.
1. Information We Collect and Process
UmrahCalculator.com is designed as an open-access utility that minimizes data collection by default:
A. Calculation & Custom Budget Inputs (Local Storage)
When you customize flight budgets, hotel nights, room occupancy, food tiers, and contingency percentages, these values are computed in your browser using JavaScript. They may be saved to your browser's localStorage (e.g., umrah_calc_user_country_override) solely so your preferences persist across page refreshes. This data never touches our remote servers.
B. Approximate Geolocation (Country & Currency Detection)
To provide immediate financial relevance without requiring manual configuration, we perform a lightweight, client-side IP lookup or browser timezone evaluation. This detects your country of origin (e.g., Pakistan, UK, USA, India, UAE, Canada) and pre-selects the corresponding currency (PKR, GBP, USD, INR, AED, CAD). We do not collect granular GPS coordinates, physical street addresses, or individual identity markers.
C. Technical & Diagnostic Telemetry
Like virtually all web applications, our web hosting infrastructure (e.g., Cloudflare CDN) automatically logs standard technical metadata, including browser type, operating system, referring URL, timestamp of access, and general network latency. This information is used exclusively to maintain platform uptime, mitigate DDoS attacks, and diagnose rendering errors.
2. Cookies and Local Browser Storage Policy
We use browser local storage (localStorage) and essential session cookies for core website functionality:
- Country & Currency Preference: Remembers your chosen home currency and country profile.
- Saved Budget Scenarios: Stores any saved scenario comparisons in the Cost Comparison tool on your local machine.
- UI Preferences: Remembers whether you have dismissed informational banners or notifications.
You can clear all stored calculator data at any time by clearing your browser cache and cookies or clicking “Reset to Baseline” on any calculator screen.
3. Third-Party Integrations and External Links
UmrahCalculator.com may reference or link to trusted external websites, including:
- Official Saudi government platforms (e.g., nusuk.sa, visitsaudi.com, Haramain High-Speed Rail).
- Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and web typography providers (such as Google Fonts) used to deliver fast, secure visual assets.
Please note that once you click an external link to an official or third-party website, you are subject to that platform's independent privacy practices and terms of service. We encourage you to review their policies directly.
4. Global Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA Compliance)
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and similar global regulations, you have explicit rights regarding your digital footprint:
Right to Erasure
Because all calculator inputs reside in your browser, you can immediately erase all data by clearing your browser storage.
Do Not Sell My Info
We do not sell personal information to commercial travel brokers or advertisers. We satisfy CCPA “Do Not Sell” standards natively.
Right to Access
You retain full visibility over all calculation outputs and can export, copy, or print them without restriction.
Non-Discrimination
Access to all calculators and editorial guides is 100% free and identical regardless of privacy choices.
5. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
UmrahCalculator.com is an educational and financial utility intended for adult pilgrims, families, and travel planners. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
6. Updates to This Policy & Contact Inquiries
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect new calculation tools, regulatory requirements, or infrastructure improvements. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will always indicate the most recent revision.
