How we protect your privacy and handle your information
Your Privacy Matters: We take your privacy seriously. This BMI calculator is designed with privacy at its core - we don't collect, store, or transmit your personal health data.

When you use our BMI calculator:
- Local Processing: All calculations happen directly in your web browser using JavaScript
- No Data Transmission: Your height, weight, and BMI results never leave your device
