Privacy Policy & Consumer Data Governance

1. Overview & Data Minimization Philosophy

Truck Specs provides open-access engineering specifications, towing safety calculators, and performance simulators. We believe technical computation should be accessible without mandatory account registration, paywalls, or pervasive behavioral tracking.

2. Information Collected & Local Computation

Client-Side Processing: All towing capacity calculations, dyno curve overlays, and 0-60 acceleration simulations are executed locally within your web browser using client-side JavaScript. None of your input values (e.g. trailer weight, passenger count, or fuel grades) are transmitted to or stored on external application servers.

Technical Server Logs: When you access our website, our edge delivery infrastructure (Cloudflare Pages) automatically logs standard, non-personally identifiable connection metadata. This includes your IP address (anonymized at edge), browser user-agent, operating system, requested URL, and response timestamps. These logs are utilized exclusively to protect against denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and ensure network stability.

3. Cookie Governance & Local Storage

Truck Specs does not deploy third-party advertising tracking cookies, cross-site re-targeting beacons, or data broker pixels.

Local Storage (`localStorage`): Our interactive calculators utilize standard browser `localStorage` solely to save your recent calculation history and preferred measurement unit system (US Imperial vs. Metric) for your convenience across return visits. You can clear this data at any time via your browser settings.

4. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents are entitled to specific rights regarding their personal information:

• Right to Know: You may request information regarding categories of personal data collected in the preceding 12 months.
• Right to Delete: You may request deletion of any personal data collected.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale: Truck Specs does NOT sell, share, or transfer personal data to third parties for monetary or commercial consideration.

5. European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

For visitors situated within the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK), our data processing adheres to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR). Our lawful basis for processing technical server logs is legitimate interest (ensuring edge network security and performance).

EEA residents hold the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory data protection authority in their member state if they believe their personal data rights have been infringed.

6. Third-Party External Links

Our technical dossiers contain outbound hyperlinks to official statutory documentation (e.g. SAE International, EPA, NHTSA) and manufacturer archives. We bear no responsibility for the privacy practices, content, or cookie governance of external third-party domains.

7. Policy Amendments & Contact Channel

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy to reflect evolving technical and statutory requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective timestamp.
