Privacy Policy

1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how LocalTooldeck.com ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you visit and interact with our website located at https://localtooldeck.com. This policy complies with applicable United States state and federal privacy statutes, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the CPRA, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Google AdSense publisher policies.

2. Local Browser Processing (Zero-Server Architecture)

Unlike conventional web applications that rely on server-side processing:

• No Input Transmission: When you input numbers into our financial, tax, or health calculators, those values are computed instantaneously in your browser using client-side JavaScript. They are not transmitted across the internet.
• Local Document Processing: When you manipulate PDF files, compress images, or transcode audio, the files are loaded directly into your browser's memory via standard HTML5 File and Canvas APIs. No files are uploaded to any server or cloud storage bucket.
• Local Storage: Any configuration settings (such as unit preferences or dark/light display modes) are stored strictly on your local device via HTML5 localStorage. You can purge this at any time by clearing your browser cache.

3. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense Disclosures

To maintain LocalTooldeck.com as a free resource for the public without charging subscriptions, we partner with third-party advertising vendors, including Google AdSense, to display advertisements across our pages:

• Cookies and Beacons: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites across the Internet.
• DART Cookies: Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve targeted ads to our users based on their visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Opting Out of Personalized Ads: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you may opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page at optout.networkadvertising.org.

4. Web Analytics & Server Logs

When you access our static pages hosted on our content delivery network (Cloudflare Pages), standard non-personally identifiable server metadata is logged automatically for security, performance optimization, and DDoS mitigation. This technical information includes:

• Browser type, language, and operating system
• Referring website URL
• Anonymized or truncated IP address
• Timestamp of request and HTTP response codes

This technical data is never linked to individual identity, and we do not perform fingerprinting or cross-site identity resolution.

5. California Consumer Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a resident of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) afford you specific rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Know & Access: You have the right to request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected about you.
• Right to Delete: You have the right to request deletion of any personal information collected. (Because we do not store personal inputs on servers, there is no personal data stored in our databases to delete).
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: We do not sell personal information in exchange for monetary consideration. However, third-party advertising cookies may be considered "sharing" under California law. You may exercise your right to opt-out via standard browser cookie preferences or via our contact channel.
• Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights.

6. European & International User Rights (GDPR)

If you are accessing LocalTooldeck.com from within the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you possess statutory rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, rectify, or erase personal data, and the right to object to processing. Because our core utilities run client-side without storing user profiles or input logs, LocalTooldeck.com maintains a minimal data footprint.

7. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

LocalTooldeck.com is designed for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately, and we will take immediate remedial steps.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological advancements, statutory legal updates, or changes to advertising network requirements. All revisions will be posted to this page with an updated "Effective Date".
