Privacy policy

We don't run ads, set our own cookies, or ask you to make an account.

Tools on this site

Calculators, checklists, and file tools run entirely in your browser. Files you load into a tool (like a CSV) are processed on your device and never uploaded. Checklist ticks, step check-offs, and your light/dark choice are saved in your browser's local storage so they're there when you come back. Clear your site data to remove them.

Search and the address bar

On-page search matching happens in your browser. Queries and filters appear in the address bar and may remain in browser history or bookmarks. Opening or submitting a search URL requests that page from the host. Do not put passwords, personal account exports or other private information in search.

Hosting and logs

Our host may keep standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type, and page requested) for security and reliability. No site analytics service is installed at launch. Hosting operational logs are separate from audience analytics. If we ever add analytics that use cookies, we'll update this page first.

Outbound and potential affiliate links

Our configured /go/ links currently redirect to vendor URLs without affiliate tracking parameters. Other citations may include separately labeled community discussions. The destination's privacy policy applies when you leave this site. If we configure affiliate tracking later, marked affiliate links may use the destination’s referral cookies or tracking. We will update the disclosure when that changes.
