Who we are

What data we collect

This website does not require you to create an account, and we do not collect personal information such as your name or email address unless you voluntarily contact us.

Your calculator inputs (reading speed, pages, time) are processed entirely in your browser and are never sent to our servers.

Cookies and tracking

We only load tracking cookies after you give explicit consent via our cookie banner. You can change your preference at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer.

Cookies we use

  • Google Analytics 4 (only if you accept) — We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site (e.g. which pages are visited, how long visitors stay). Google Analytics uses cookies such as _ga and _ga_*. This data is anonymized and helps us improve the website. Google's Privacy Policy.

Third-party services

  • Google Fonts — We load fonts from Google Fonts. This means your browser connects to Google's servers to download font files. Google Fonts Privacy.
  • Buy Me a Coffee — Our footer contains a "Buy Me a Coffee" widget, which loads a script from a third-party server.
  • Open Library — On our About page, we load book cover images from the Open Library API. This means your browser connects to Open Library's servers to search for and display book covers. Open Library's Privacy Policy.
