Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 31, 2026
1. Overview & Scope
HRDWRINFO ("we," "our," or "the Platform") operates an independent hardware reference directory and price-tracking tool. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information collected through our website. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how it is used, and how it is protected.
2. Information We Collect
We only collect information necessary to provide the platform's core services:
Account Registration Details: When you create an account, we collect a username, email address, and password. Passwords are cryptographically hashed on our servers and are never stored or accessible in plain text.
User Preferences & Favorites: If you are logged in, our database syncs your saved favorite hardware components to your account profile.
Administrative & System Data: For administrative users, we store logs related to site maintenance, inventory updates, and announcements.
Optional Diagnostic Data: When submitting feedback or bug reports, you may explicitly opt-in to share basic browser telemetry (such as your operating system, screen resolution, and browser version). This data is used strictly for technical troubleshooting and is never used for behavioral tracking.
3. Cookies and Local Storage Technologies
We do not use tracking pixels, advertising networks, or third-party behavioral analytics cookies. We exclusively use standard web technologies for essential functions:
Strictly Necessary HTTP Cookies (PHPSESSID): Used solely to keep you securely logged into your account. Standard sessions expire when your browser closes; if you choose "Keep me signed in," an authentication cookie is maintained for up to 30 days.
Browser LocalStorage: Used strictly on your local device to remember your interface preferences (such as Dark/Light theme, accessibility font sizes, and acknowledged announcements).
4. How We Use Your Information
Your data is used solely to:
Authenticate your account and grant access to member features (e.g., live vendor price matrix, 30-day historical trend graphs, personal favorites).
Facilitate secure password resets and account recovery via email.
Deliver platform-wide notifications and site updates.
5. Data Sharing and Third Parties
Zero Data Selling: We do not sell, rent, trade, or monetize your personal data to any third parties or marketing platforms.
Third-Party CDNs: Our site loads standardized open-source libraries (such as Google Model-Viewer for 3D renderings and Chart.js for data visualization). These CDNs serve static script files to your browser.
Vendor Links & Disclaimers: When you click external vendor links (e.g., Fastenal, McMaster-Carr, Zoro), you navigate to their external domains, which operate under their own independent privacy policies.
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical measures to protect your data, including one-way cryptographic hashing for passwords, protected server-side endpoints, and secure session validation.
7. Your Rights & Account Deletion
You have full control over your personal data:
You may update your username, email, or password at any time via your Profile settings.
You may request complete deletion of your account and associated favorites by contacting site administration.
8. Policy Modifications
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. Any changes will become effective immediately upon posting, regardless of whether you have explicitly agreed to the updated terms. However, we will make a good-faith effort to communicate any modifications to users with registered accounts.
