Privacy Policy & Zero-Tracking Workshop Privacy Architecture

AxeToolGuide operates with a strict commitment to digital craftsmanship: your workshop computations, tool sizing parameters, and maintenance logs belong strictly to you.

Client-Side Local Storage for Sizing Profiles, Joules Runs & Maintenance Logs

AxeToolGuide operates with a strict zero-tracking workshop privacy architecture. All handle sizing calculations, kinetic force runs, wood cleavage logs, and tool maintenance journals persist exclusively in client-side localStorage with zero third-party advertising cookies.

When you utilize our interactive engineering tools on the AxeToolGuide homepage—such as the Kinetic Sizing Workbench, Pack Hatchet Selector, or Hickory Grain Diagnostic—all computational states are processed and cached strictly inside your web browser using HTML5 localStorage.

This client-side architecture ensures that:

  • Zero Remote Storage: Sizing measurements (height, arm reach), tool selections, and energy calculations are never transmitted to external databases or cloud servers.
  • Offline Functionality: Saved workshop scratchpads and comparison tables remain accessible in offline workshop environments and remote cabins without active cellular connectivity.
  • Instant User Erasure: Clearing your browser history or cache instantly purges all saved scratchpad data with zero residual traces.

Absence of Third-Party Advertising Trackers, Profiling Pixels and Location Beacons

We do not partner with behavioral ad networks, data brokers, or profiling aggregators. We strictly enforce:

  • No Third-Party Advertising Cookies: We run zero commercial ad banners, retargeting pixels, or programmatic behavioral cookies.
  • No Fingerprinting: We do not deploy canvas fingerprinting, audio context sniffers, or device telemetry scanners.
  • Privacy-Preserving Telemetry: Any aggregate web performance metrics collected via our edge CDN (Cloudflare) are cookieless, anonymized, and strictly limited to diagnostic Core Web Vitals to maintain fast sub-second load times.
  • GDPR & CCPA Compliance: Under EU GDPR and California CCPA regulations, our zero-tracking architecture inherently satisfies "Privacy by Design" and "Privacy by Default" standards.
