Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy policy explains how birthday-cake-portion-planner.hub2.day (“CakePortion”, “the site”, “we”) handles information when you use the CakePortion birthday cake size and slice planner. CakePortion is a small, independent web utility designed to help home bakers estimate pan sizes, approximate bake times, and generate a printable cutting guide based on the guest count, slice size preference, and cake shape you enter.

Information You Provide

The site lets you enter information such as guest count, slice size preference, cake shape, and related baking preferences. These inputs are processed primarily in your browser so the planner can show you a recommended pan size, estimated bake time, and cutting guide. In most cases, these baking project details are not transmitted to our servers and are not stored in a way that identifies you.

Contact Email

If you contact us at hello@birthday-cake-portion-planner.hub2.day, we receive the content of your message and your email address. We use this information only to respond to your request and to improve the site where appropriate. We do not sell your email address or use it for marketing without your consent.

Server and Security Logs

When you visit the site, the hosting infrastructure may automatically log limited technical information such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps. These logs are used for operational, diagnostic, and security purposes, such as protecting against abuse and maintaining site availability. Log data is retained only as long as reasonably necessary and is then deleted or anonymized.

Cookies and Local Storage

CakePortion may use browser cookies or local storage to remember your preferences, such as recently used cake planning inputs or consent choices. These technologies are used to improve your experience on the site and are not used to identify you personally.

CakePortion is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it promptly.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited information we handle against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
