Privacy Policy – SugarRisk.com

1. Who we are

SugarRisk.com is an independent educational project focused on metabolic health and prediabetes awareness. The website is provided as-is, without registration or user accounts.

2. What data the calculator uses

The risk calculator uses the values you type into the form fields (for example: age, height, weight, waist, activity level, family history, blood pressure, optional glucose and A1C).

• These values are processed locally in your browser using JavaScript.
• We do not create user accounts and do not ask you to upload lab reports.
• You can clear or change the fields at any time and reload the page.

Under normal use, these numbers are not sent to a SugarRisk.com backend server. However, your browser and device may still send standard technical data to hosting providers and analytics tools (see below).

3. Cookies, analytics and advertising

Like most websites, SugarRisk may use third-party services such as analytics and advertising networks to understand aggregated traffic and keep the project sustainable.

• Analytics tools can record anonymised information such as page views, device type and time on page.
• Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show relevant ads.
• These partners may act as independent data controllers under their own privacy policies.

You can control or delete cookies at any time using your browser settings. You can also use private / incognito mode if you prefer to reduce tracking.

4. Embedded content and external links

SugarRisk.com may include links or embedded content from other websites (for example: medical organisations, educational resources or partner sites that embed the SugarRisk widget).

These external websites have their own privacy policies and may collect their own data. We do not control how third-party sites process your information once you leave SugarRisk.com.

5. Emails and contact forms

If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we will receive the information you choose to share (for example: your email address and message).

• We use this information only to read, reply to and manage your message.
• We ask you not to send sensitive medical documents or full lab reports by email.
• We do not sell or rent your email address to third parties.

6. Data retention

Because the calculator runs locally in your browser, we do not actively store your risk inputs. Technical logs and analytics data kept by hosting or analytics providers are typically retained for a limited period for security, performance and reporting.

7. Your choices

• You can stop using the website at any time and clear your browser cache and cookies.
• You can use browser privacy settings or extensions to limit tracking and advertising cookies.
• You can contact us if you have questions about how SugarRisk works.

8. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time as the project evolves or if legal requirements change. When we make significant changes, we will update the “Last updated” date on this page.
