This Privacy Policy explains how ShedCalculator.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website, use our calculators, request a quote, buy a product, or contact us. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.

This includes your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring website, approximate location, and how you interact with the site. We collect it through cookies, pixels, and similar technologies.

How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the site and our tools
- To process purchases and deliver digital products
- To respond to your messages and send emails you’ve requested
- To analyze traffic and understand how visitors use the site
- To display advertising and to track affiliate referrals
- To protect the site against spam, fraud, and security threats
- To comply with legal obligations
Advertising (Google AdSense)
We use Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices, or in the EU/UK at www.youronlinechoices.eu. To learn more, see How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are popular and how people find us. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect usage information that is processed by Google. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Affiliate Links
We participate in affiliate programs including Amazon Associates, Lowe’s, and partners on the Impact network. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer or network may set a cookie on your device to attribute any resulting purchase to us. We don’t receive your payment details or personal information from these retailers. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more.
Contractor Quotes (Thumbtack)
Our quote page uses an embedded widget from Thumbtack, a third-party marketplace. Information you enter in that widget is collected by Thumbtack, not by us, and is shared with the professionals you choose to contact. It’s governed by Thumbtack’s Privacy Policy.
Purchases
When you buy a product from our shop, your payment is handled by a third-party payment processor. We do not store your full card number. We keep order records, such as your name, email, and purchase details, to deliver your product, provide support, and meet tax and accounting requirements. See our Refund Policy for details on returns.
Other Service Providers
We also use service providers to host the site, send email, process forms, and filter spam. For example, Akismet may check comments and form submissions for spam. These providers only receive the information they need to perform their services for us.
Cookies and Your Choices
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We and our partners use them to keep the site working, measure traffic, serve and measure ads, and track affiliate referrals. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but some features may not work properly if you do. Where required by law, such as for visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only as described in this policy:
- With service providers that help us run the site
- With advertising, analytics, and affiliate partners through cookies and similar technologies
- When required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the site
- In connection with a sale, merger, or transfer of the site
Under some U.S. state privacy laws, allowing advertising partners to use cookies for personalized ads may be considered “selling” or “sharing” personal information. You can opt out using the advertising choices above or by contacting us.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, including California, other U.S. states with privacy laws, the EEA, and the UK, you may have the right to:
- Know what personal information we hold about you and request a copy
- Correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information
- Opt out of personalized advertising and the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information
- Withdraw consent, object to certain processing, or lodge a complaint with a data protection authority (EEA/UK)
To make a request, email jason@shedcalculator.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding. We won’t discriminate against you for exercising your rights. You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any email.
Data Retention and Security
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law. We use reasonable safeguards to protect it, but no method of transmission or storage over the Internet is 100% secure.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
