Privacy Policy
Effective date: May 20, 2026
My Metal Value ("we," "us," "our") operates mymetalvalue.com (the "Site"). This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
Information we collect
Information you provide. If you contact us through a form on the Site, we receive the information you submit (such as your name, email address, and message).
Calculator inputs. The precious metals calculators on the Site run entirely in your browser. The values you enter (weight, karat, coin counts, etc.) are not transmitted to us or stored on our servers.
Analytics data. We use Independent Analytics, a privacy-friendly WordPress plugin that collects aggregated, anonymized visit data (such as page views, referring site, country, browser type, and device type). Independent Analytics does not use cookies, does not track individuals across sites, and does not share data with third parties.
Advertising data. We display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to the Site or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
