Merokalam Privacy Policy
Merokalam Privacy Summary
About Merokalam
Merokalam (merokalam.com) is a free online tools platform focused on Nepal, operating since 2013. Read more on our About page. We build and maintain free digital tools for Nepalis in Nepal and around the world, including date converters, text converters, calculators, and more.
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use any tool or page on merokalam.com.
Information We Do NOT Collect
To be completely clear:
- We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any contact information
- We do not require you to create an account to use any tool
- We do not store the text, dates, amounts or any input you enter into our tools
- We do not use tracking cookies or cross-site tracking technologies
- We do not sell, rent or share any data with third parties for marketing purposes
- We do not build profiles about individual users
Information We May Collect Automatically
Like all websites, our web server may log basic technical information when you visit, specifically:
- IP address: your internet provider's address, used only for server security and abuse prevention
- Browser type and version: to help us test that tools work across browsers
- Pages visited and time spent: aggregated, anonymous traffic statistics
- Referring URL: which website linked you to us
This information is aggregate and anonymous. It cannot be used to identify you personally and is never linked to any individual.
Cookies
Merokalam Tools does not use any tracking or advertising cookies.
We may use minimal, functional browser storage (such as localStorage) to remember your preferences within a tool session. For example, it remembers a selected loan type in the EMI calculator. This data exists only on your device and is never transmitted to us.
We do not use Google Analytics cookies, Facebook pixels, or any other third-party tracking scripts on this site.
Third-Party Services
Some tools on Merokalam fetch live data from external sources:
- The Currency Exchange Rate tool fetches rates from Nepal Rastra Bank's public API
- The Gold & Silver Price tool fetches live bullion rates from a public data source
- The QR Code Generator uses the open-source QRious library, which runs entirely in your browser with no external calls
When you use tools that fetch live data, your browser makes a direct request to the data source. We do not intercept, log or store these requests. Please refer to the respective data provider's privacy policy if you have concerns.
Contact Form
Our Contact page has a simple form where you can optionally share your name and email to reach us. Information submitted through this form is:
- Used only to read and respond to your message
- Never shared with any third party
- Never used for marketing or promotional purposes
- Deleted once your query has been resolved
Submitting the contact form is entirely voluntary. You can also reach us directly via email if you prefer.
Children's Privacy
Merokalam Tools is a general-purpose tool site suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13 years of age. Since we collect no personal information from any user, there is no special handling required for younger visitors.
