1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how ThreadChaser ("Developer," "we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with threadchaser.com (the "Website"). We are committed to being transparent about our data practices.
2. Information We Collect
ThreadChaser does not collect any personal data. Specifically:
- We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal details;
- We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or location data;
- All thread measurements and calculations you enter are processed entirely within your browser and are never transmitted to us or any third party;
- We do not use analytics platforms, advertising networks, crash-reporting services, or any third-party tracking scripts;
- We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes;
- We do not access your camera, microphone, contacts, or any other device sensor or data store.
3. Data Collected by GitHub Pages
The Website is hosted on GitHub Pages, a service provided by GitHub, Inc. When you visit the Website, GitHub's servers may automatically log standard technical information as part of normal web server operation. This is governed by GitHub's Privacy Statement and is outside our control. This data may include:
- IP address — your device's internet address, used by GitHub for security and abuse prevention;
- Browser and device type — the browser, operating system, and device you are using;
- Page requests — which pages on the Website you visited and at what time;
- Referring URL — the website you came from, if applicable.
We do not have access to this server log data and it is not shared with us by GitHub in identifiable form. You can review GitHub's data practices at GitHub's Privacy Statement.
4. No Accounts, Payments, or Purchases
The Website is free to use and requires no registration or payment. We do not process payments and we never see, receive, store, or handle any financial or billing information.
5. Cookies
The Website does not set any cookies of its own. GitHub Pages may set a minimal session cookie as part of its infrastructure, but this is not used for tracking or advertising and contains no personal information about you.
6. Children's Privacy
ThreadChaser is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the Website collects no personal data at all, no special risk arises. If you have any concerns, please contact us using the details in Section 10.
7. Data Security
Because ThreadChaser does not collect or transmit personal data, there is no personal data stored on our systems that could be subject to a breach. All information you enter on the Website (measurements, settings, preferences) remains entirely within your browser session and is discarded when you close the page.
8. Data Retention
We do not retain any personal data because we do not collect any. The Website stores your last-used settings (such as unit preference and tolerance) in your browser's local memory for convenience during a session only. This data never leaves your device and is cleared when you close the browser tab.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws (such as the GDPR, UK GDPR, Australian Privacy Act, or CCPA) including the right to access, correct, or delete personal data held about you. Because we hold no personal data about Website visitors, there is nothing for us to provide, correct, or delete.
For data held by GitHub (server logs), please exercise your rights directly through GitHub's privacy contact page.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted at this URL with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
If we ever change our practices in a material way — for example if we introduce analytics or account features — we will update this policy before any such changes take effect.
