Privacy Notice

How The Hardware Ledger handles website submissions and browser-local calculator data.

This notice describes how The Hardware Ledger handles information supplied through this website.

Information we collect

Contact, contributor and beta forms collect the information displayed in each form, such as a name, email address, organisation, message, proposal details and consent choices. The site may also receive routine technical and security data through its WordPress.com hosting.

How information is used

Information is used to respond to enquiries, assess submissions, manage beta interest, operate the editorial workflow, secure the site and maintain its services. Newsletter consent is separate and unticked by default.

Storage and sharing

Form submissions are stored as private records in the WordPress database and administrative email notifications contain a link to the private record rather than the submitted message. Access is restricted to authorised site administrators. Hosting and related services may process technical data as described in their own privacy notices.

Calculators and saved profiles

Calculator inputs are processed in the visitor’s browser. Optional UAS profiles and theme preferences are stored locally in that browser and are not submitted to The Hardware Ledger by the calculator plugin.

Your choices

Use the contact page to ask about personal information supplied to the site or to request correction or deletion where applicable. Information is retained only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose collected, site administration, security and applicable obligations.
