Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 12, 2026 | Last Updated: October 22, 2026
ToolSpecVault respects your privacy. We do not require account registration, do not sell user data, and operate strictly as a free technical engineering reference. This policy describes the minimal operational data collected when you access our website.
Information We Collect
ToolSpecVault collects standard technical log data routinely gathered by web servers, including:
• Anonymized IP addresses and browser user-agent strings.
• Referring pages and exit timestamps.
• Device operating system and screen viewport dimensions for responsive design auditing.
Cookies and Local Storage
We utilize client-side localStorage exclusively to save your functional UI preferences—specifically whether you have toggled our High-Contrast Workshop Mode (amber/black palette) and your preferred unit system (Metric vs Imperial). This preference data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or third parties.
Third-Party Advertising & Layout Stability
ToolSpecVault may display programmatic advertising to fund our physical testing laboratory and web hosting infrastructure. All advertising containers are engineered with pre-allocated height constraints (min-height: 280px) to prevent Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), ensuring a stable viewing experience in workshop environments. Third-party advertising partners may use cookies to serve relevant ads based on non-identifiable browsing history in accordance with applicable GDPR and CCPA privacy frameworks.
