How the TDEE Calculator Handles Your Data

The calculator applies commonly used formulas, such as the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, and multiplies the result by an activity factor to estimate your TDEE. The numbers you enter are used to display your result and nothing more.

  • We do not intentionally store your calculator inputs or results on our servers.
  • We do not link your calculator details to your name, email address or identity.
  • We do not use your age, weight, height or goals to build a personal profile about you.
  • We do not use your calculator inputs to send targeted diet, health or supplement offers.
  • We do not sell, rent or trade your calculator inputs or results.

Legal Basis for Processing

we process personal data only where we have a valid legal basis, which may be:

  • Consent: for example, when you accept optional cookies or send us a message and expect a reply.
  • Legitimate interests: for example, keeping the website secure, preventing abuse and improving our content, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
  • Legal obligation: where we must process data to comply with the law.

You may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew it.

How We Use Your Information

  • To run and improve the calculator and our calorie guides.
  • To answer your questions, feedback and error reports.
  • To keep the website secure and fix problems.

You do not need to enter your name, email address, phone number or any other personal identifier. These details are used only to generate your result on screen.

Messages and feedback. If you email us, use a contact form, report an error or suggest an improvement, we collect the information you choose to share, such as your name, email address and the content of your message.

If Something Goes Wrong: Data Breach Notice

If we ever become aware of a security incident that puts your personal information at serious risk, we will investigate promptly, take steps to limit the harm and, where the law requires, notify affected people and the relevant authorities within the required time.

Email Communications

We use your email address only to reply to your message unless you clearly ask us to send you something else. We do not add you to a mailing list without your permission. If we ever offer a newsletter or updates, you will be able to unsubscribe at any time using the link in the email or by contacting us.

Comments and Public Content

If our website allows comments, the information you post, including your name and message, may be visible to other visitors. Please do not include sensitive personal details such as your exact medical conditions, address or phone number in public comments. You can ask us to edit or remove your comment by contacting us.

Social Media and Sharing Buttons

Our pages may include links or buttons that let you share content on social media platforms. When you click them, the platform may collect information in line with its own privacy policy. We do not control these platforms and recommend reading their policies before you use them.

Embedded Content

Pages on this website may include embedded content such as videos, images or charts from other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you had visited the other website, and it may use cookies or collect data about you. We do not control this, so please check the privacy policy of the provider.

Affiliate and Sponsored Links

If we ever include affiliate links or sponsored content, we will clearly say so. When you click an affiliate link, the other website may place cookies on your device so that a purchase can be tracked. We do not share your calculator inputs with affiliate partners.

Accuracy of Information and Your Responsibility

You are responsible for entering accurate information into the calculator. Wrong inputs will produce wrong estimates. We work hard to keep our formulas and guides accurate and up to date, but we cannot guarantee that every result suits your individual situation. Please use the results as a starting point and adjust based on how your body responds over time.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold, to correct or delete it, to object to certain uses, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Email us and we will respond within a reasonable time. We may need to confirm your identity first.

Children’s Privacy

This website is for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Our calorie results are not designed for people under 18, who should speak with a doctor or registered dietitian.

Data Security and Changes

We keep information only as long as needed and use reasonable safeguards, including HTTPS. No online service is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. We may update this policy from time to time, and the “Last updated” date above will change when we do.
