Advertisement Policy

1. Our Advertising Philosophy

Royal Calc was built to provide truly free calculators without premium upsells or hidden costs. If we display advertisements, they serve only to cover operational costs (servers, bandwidth, development). Our priorities are:

• ✅ User experience first - Ads never interfere with calculator functionality
• ✅ Clear labeling - All ads are clearly marked as "Advertisement" or "Sponsored"
• ✅ No pop-ups or interstitials - We never use disruptive ad formats
• ✅ No tracking for targeting - We don't use personal data for ad targeting
• ✅ Family-friendly content - We only accept appropriate, non-offensive advertisements

2. Current Advertising Status

3. Types of Advertisements We May Display

If we introduce advertising, we will only use the following non-intrusive formats:

What We Will NEVER Display:

• ❌ Pop-up or pop-under advertisements
• ❌ Auto-play video or audio ads
• ❌ Full-screen interstitials before using tools
• ❌ Ads disguised as download buttons
• ❌ Malicious or deceptive advertisements
• ❌ Ads targeting sensitive categories (adult content, gambling, etc.)
• ❌ Ads that track users across other websites

4. Ad Placement & User Experience

Any advertisements on Royal Calc will be placed in non-intrusive locations:

• Sidebar areas - Away from main calculator interface
• Footer sections - Below calculator functionality
• After tool usage - On result pages (never before)
• Blog/content areas - Within informational content only

We will never place advertisements:

• Inside the calculator interface (input area, settings, buttons)
• Within calculation workflows
• Before result displays
• As fake "Calculate" or "Convert" buttons

5. Affiliate Links & Sponsored Content

We may occasionally use affiliate links or accept sponsored content:

• Affiliate links: We may earn a small commission if you purchase a product through a link on our site. These links are clearly marked with "(affiliate link)" or similar disclosure.
• Sponsored content: Paid articles or tool mentions will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored" or "Advertisement" at the beginning of the content.
• No paid tool manipulation: Sponsored content never influences our calculator's functionality or ranking of tools.

6. Third-Party Ad Networks

If we use third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense), they may use cookies or tracking technologies to serve relevant ads. These networks are required to comply with our policies:

• No deceptive or malicious ads
• No data collection without user consent
• Compliance with all applicable privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA)

Users can opt-out of personalized advertising through their browser settings or by visiting optout.aboutads.info.

7. Advertising & Privacy

We respect your privacy. Any advertising on Royal Calc will:

• Never access your calculation data - Ad systems cannot see your inputs or results
• Never use personal data for targeting - No email, name, or calculation content
• Comply with GDPR/CCPA - Users can opt-out of tracking
• Be transparent - All data collection is disclosed in our Privacy Policy
