3. Intellectual Property

All content on calorierule.com, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, images, source code, calculation algorithms, nutritional databases, page layouts and design elements, is the intellectual property of Mottalib Radif and is protected by copyright and international intellectual property laws.

Reproduction, distribution, modification, reverse engineering, or any form of commercial use beyond the limits of copyright law requires the written consent of the publisher. Users are authorised to browse the website for strictly personal and private use. Brief quotations for informational purposes are permitted provided the source is credited.

4. Privacy Policy

CalorieRule.com respects your privacy and is committed to protecting personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – Regulation EU 2016/679).

All fitness calculations – including TDEE, BMI, calorie needs, macronutrient breakdowns and any other health-related computations – are performed entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. No personal data – including your weight, height, age, activity level, or any other health information you enter into our calculators – is transmitted to, collected by, or stored on our servers. The technical architecture of the website is designed according to the principle of "privacy by design" in accordance with Article 25 of the GDPR.

We do not require user registration, do not use tracking cookies, and do not sell, share or distribute any user data to third parties.

5. Cookie Policy

This website uses no tracking cookies. No advertising, profiling, or third-party cookies are placed. User preferences (such as dark/light mode or unit system selection) are stored in the browser's localStorage, which is not a cookie and is never transmitted to our servers.

localStorage is a local storage mechanism provided by the HTML5 standard. Data stored in localStorage remains on your device and is never sent to external servers. You can clear localStorage data at any time through your browser settings.

Since no tracking cookies are used, a cookie consent banner is not legally required under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (2009/136/EC). Should we implement non-essential cookies in the future, a consent banner will be displayed in accordance with applicable law.

6. Data Protection (GDPR)

6.1 Data Controller

The data controller for the processing of personal data on this website is Mottalib Radif, reachable at contact@calorierule.com.

6.2 Data Protection Officer

Given the nature of the website and the absence of large-scale processing of personal data, the appointment of a Data Protection Officer (DPO) is not legally required under Article 37 of the GDPR.

6.3 Your Rights

In accordance with Articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR, every user has the following rights:

• Right of access (Art. 15): obtain confirmation of whether personal data is being processed and, if so, access to that data.
• Right to rectification (Art. 16): obtain correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Right to erasure (Art. 17, "right to be forgotten"): obtain deletion of personal data when the legal conditions are met.
• Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18): restrict processing in certain cases provided by law.
• Right to data portability (Art. 20): receive personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
• Right to object (Art. 21): object to processing on grounds relating to your particular situation.
• Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7): withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
• Right to lodge a complaint (Art. 77): lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence.

Since the website does not collect personal data, these rights are currently not applicable in practice. For any enquiry, contact us at contact@calorierule.com. We undertake to respond within 30 days as required by Article 12 of the GDPR. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL): www.cnil.fr.

6.4 Data Transfer Outside the EU

No personal data is transferred outside the European Union. Should it become necessary in the future to use services with servers outside the EU, the controller will ensure compliance with Chapter V of the GDPR by implementing appropriate safeguards.

7. Third-Party Services

This website may load web fonts from third-party content delivery networks for uniform text display. When you access a page, your browser loads the required fonts, which may establish a connection to external servers that receive your IP address as part of the standard HTTP request. This usage is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in a uniform and attractive presentation of our website.

We do not integrate any third-party services that profile users. There are no social media buttons, advertising widgets, remarketing services, or other tools that allow third parties to track users.

8. Health Disclaimer

They are not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before making changes to your diet, exercise routine, or health regimen.

While we strive for accuracy in all calculations using established, peer-reviewed formulas (such as the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for BMR and the Harris-Benedict equation for TDEE), individual results may vary. The formulas used are statistical models based on population data and may not perfectly reflect your individual metabolism, health status, or nutritional needs.

The nutritional data provided for foods is compiled from publicly available databases and scientific literature. While we make every effort to ensure accuracy, variations may exist due to differences in food preparation, growing conditions, and regional variations.
