Privacy Policy · Woodshop Bench

This policy explains what Woodshop Bench (hmttfm.com) does and does not collect when you use the tools, and what happens to what is collected. It applies to every page on the site - 34 tool pages and this one - and takes effect from 2026.

We do not collect what you type into a tool

The inputs on the tool pages - amounts, durations, percentages, headcounts, dates - are read by your own browser and used in the calculation. Nothing is submitted to a server. When you reload or close the page those values are gone, because the site never receives them and has nowhere to keep them. You can verify this yourself: open the network panel in your browser developer tools, fill in a few numbers, and you will see no request carrying them.

Traffic measurement

The site serves advertising through Google AdSense and measures visits with Google Analytics. What that measurement sees is page views, referral channels, browser and device types, and geography - aggregate signals. It does not include the specific values you type into a tool. Google processes this information under its own privacy policy and terms, and the site neither seeks nor could obtain your tool inputs.

Cookies and local storage

Advertising services may set cookies in your browser for targeting and frequency capping. You can clear or block them at any time in your browser settings; the core function of this site, which is every calculation, depends on no cookie at all and keeps working with them blocked. The tools themselves may use localStorage to remember your last set of inputs so you can carry on after a reload. That data lives on your device and disappears when you clear browser data.

Third-party resources

Pages load icon fonts, stylesheets and ad scripts from third-party CDNs. Those requests carry your IP address and ordinary request headers - that is how the network works, not extra data collection by this site. No third-party component here requires a login, and nothing you type into a tool is passed to anyone.

Minors

This is a public collection of general-purpose tools, not a service designed for children, and it collects no identifying information about anyone. If you are below the age of majority where you live, please use it with a parent or guardian present.

Your rights

Because we do not collect what you enter into the tools, there is no list of "your data" for us to export or delete - the data never left your device. The only thing associated with you is anonymous, aggregated traffic measurement, which does not point to a person. If you think a given aggregate should not be counted, the contact route in the footer is the place to raise it.

Changes to this policy

If the site later introduces anything that needs an account, syncing or a server-side record, this page will be updated first to say what is collected, why, and for how long, before that feature goes live. The date on the page moves with each revision. Where anything is unclear, this page is the reference and the official rules for your region come first.

Questions

Can anyone see the amounts I type in?
No. The values in the input fields are used by the calculation inside your browser and are never sent to a server; they disappear on reload. That is a separate question from traffic measurement, which counts how many people opened a page - not what any individual person typed.
Does blocking ads break the tools?
No. The calculation logic does not depend on the ad script at all; ads are just a slot on the page. If ads are blocked, collapsed or fail to load, every tool still computes normally.
Does the site use cookies?
Advertising and measurement may, as third-party services normally do. The tools themselves depend on no cookie, and everything keeps working after you clear your browser data. You can turn individual items off or clear them in your browser's privacy settings.
Can I use the tools on a different device?
Yes, and the reason is that the calculation happens entirely on your machine - the inputs were never stored on a server. A tool may remember your last inputs in localStorage, which travels with the device, so a new device means re-entering them.
Who do I contact about a privacy concern?
Use the contact details in the footer and we will look into it and reply. If your question concerns a statutory right in your region, such as portability or erasure, we will handle it under the local rules, with the official position taking precedence.
How do I use Privacy Policy · Woodshop Bench step by step without mistakes?Follow the order given in the usage section: How Woodshop Bench handles data: what is and is not collected, cookies, local storage and third-party resources. The step-by-step part matters less than the unit check that sits inside it. Confirm every unit matches the thing you are actually trying to measure before you press calculate - that single check catches more wrong answers than any other habit, and it costs about ten seconds.
What are the common mistakes when using Privacy Policy · Woodshop Bench?Most common mistakes come down to four habits: entering 20 when the field expects 0.2 because the field is a percentage; leaving a field blank and accepting the default without checking what it stands for; changing one input and reading a result that was calculated before the change; and quoting the output as an exact figure when the page describes it as a reference estimate. Press calculate again after any edit, and treat the number as a reference point rather than a final answer.
