Who we are

LumaBasket (lumabasket.com) offers free home improvement calculators and material guides. The site is operated by Hasnain Raza. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. If you have questions, please use our contact page.

The short version

You do not need an account to use LumaBasket, and the calculators do not ask for personal details. The measurements you type into a calculator are processed in your browser and are not collected or stored by us. Like most websites, we use analytics and, in the future, may show advertising, which involves cookies and similar technologies described below.

Information we collect

Information you give us. If you send a message through our contact form, we receive the details you enter, such as your name, email address, and message. We use them only to reply to you and to keep a record of the conversation.

Calculator inputs. The calculators run in your browser, and we do not collect or store the measurements you enter. If you use the Share Result button, your values become part of the link’s web address. Anyone you send that link to can see them, and analytics tools may record the address when the link is opened.

Information collected automatically. When you visit, our servers and analytics tools may record your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, the site that referred you, and your approximate location derived from your IP address.

Comments. Comments are generally turned off. Where they are enabled, we collect the name, email address, and comment you submit, plus your IP address and browser details to help detect spam. Your email address may be checked against the Gravatar service to display a profile picture.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them in the following ways:

  • Analytics. We use Google Analytics (through Google Site Kit) and Google Tag Manager to understand which pages are used and how visitors find us. These tools set cookies such as _ga and collect pseudonymous identifiers. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
  • Advertising. We may display ads, including ads served by Google and other advertising partners. These third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings, or learn about other options at aboutads.info.
  • Site operation. Our hosting and caching tools use technical cookies or similar mechanisms to keep the site fast and secure. WordPress also sets login cookies, but only for site administrators.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although parts of the site may not work as intended. You can also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

How we use information

  • To run, maintain, and improve the website and the calculators.
  • To understand how the site is used and which content is helpful.
  • To respond to messages and feedback.
  • To keep the site secure and to prevent spam and abuse.
  • To show and measure advertising, if and when it is enabled.
  • To meet legal obligations.

Where data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on our legitimate interests (running and securing the site and understanding how it is used), your consent where it is required, and the need to respond to your requests.

Who we share information with

We share information only with service providers that help us run the site, and only as needed: our web host (Hostinger), Google (analytics, tag management, and advertising), and tools that help prevent spam. These providers process data under their own privacy policies. We may also disclose information if the law requires it or to protect our rights and the safety of our visitors.

Advertising, affiliate links, and external links

LumaBasket may be supported by advertising and may include affiliate links. If you buy something through an affiliate link, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Our guides also link to outside websites, such as university extension services and suppliers. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we do not control.

How long we keep information

We keep contact messages for as long as needed to respond and to keep a reasonable record. Analytics data is kept for the period set in our analytics settings. Server logs are kept for a limited time by our hosting provider.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, including in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and California, you may have the right to ask us to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to certain uses, to receive a copy of it, and to withdraw consent you have given. To make a request, contact us through our contact page. We will respond within the time the law requires. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

Security and international transfers

We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no website or transmission method is completely secure. Our hosting provider and the other services we use may process information in countries other than your own.

Children

LumaBasket is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
