Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

This policy explains how we handle your data with a focus on privacy-by-design and minimal collection.


1. Data We Collect

We believe in "Zero-Footprint" utility. We only collect data that is mechanically necessary to provide the service you requested:

  • Search Queries: We monitor search terms to identify which car models are most in demand.
  • User Requests: If you use our "Request a Model" form, we collect the Year, Make, and Model of the vehicle.
  • Optional Contact Info: If you choose to provide an email address, it is stored securely and used only to notify you when your requested model is added.

2. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used strictly for technical and research purposes:

  • Prioritization: We use requested car models to decide which professional manuals to research next.
  • Infrastructure: All data is processed through Cloudflare Workers and stored in a secure, private database.

3. Data Security & Storage

  • Secure Infrastructure: We use a "Zero-Trust" environment where our database is inaccessible to the public internet.
  • Direct Access Only: Only our trusted server-side code can interact with the data collection.
  • No Third-Party Sharing: We do not sell, trade, or share your search history or contact information with third-party advertisers.

4. Your Rights

Since we prioritize "local-first" principles and data control, you have the right to:

  • Request the deletion of any email address you have submitted.
  • Browse the entire database anonymously without creating an account.
