Privacy

This is a static site with no accounts, no forms, and no analytics. What follows is a description of that, not a legal shield.

The short version

Nothing you type into this site leaves your browser.

The FCC ID lookup and the describe-your-meter qualifier both run entirely on your device. The whole dataset — every device record the lookup can return — is downloaded with the page as a static file, and the search runs against it locally. There is no backend, no API call, and no query sent anywhere. Your meter's FCC ID is not transmitted, logged, or stored, because it never goes anywhere to be logged.

That is a consequence of how the site is built rather than a promise about how it is operated, which makes it a stronger guarantee than a policy statement.

What is stored on your device

One item, in localStorage:

KeyHoldsWhy
mr-theme"light" or "dark"Remembers the theme toggle so the page does not flip back on your next visit.

That is not a cookie, it is never sent to a server, and clearing your site data removes it. If you never touch the theme button it is never written, and the page follows your operating system's light/dark preference instead.

There are no tracking cookies, no advertising cookies, no analytics scripts, no tag managers, no session recording, no fingerprinting, and no third-party embeds. The site loads no resources from any other domain — no hosted fonts, no CDN scripts, no external images.

What the host sees

The site is served as static files by Netlify. Like any web server, Netlify records ordinary request data in order to deliver pages and defend against abuse: IP address, timestamp, requested URL, referrer, and user agent. That is standard server logging, it is Netlify's processing rather than something this site queries or retains, and it is governed by Netlify's own privacy terms.

There is no database here, and nothing is retained beyond those host-level logs.

Email

If you get in touch, your email sits in an ordinary mailbox and is used to reply to you. It is not added to a mailing list — there is no mailing list — and it is not shared.

Please do not send meter IDs, account numbers, addresses, or consumption data. None of it is needed for a useful field report.

If this changes

Two things would change the picture, and both would be reflected here before they went live rather than after:

  • Analytics. If usage measurement is ever added, this page will name the provider and say what it collects.
  • Affiliate links. Some outbound links to hardware retailers may in future carry affiliate tags, which those retailers use to attribute a referral. See the affiliate disclosure for the current state, which is that there are none yet.

Your rights

There is no account to delete and no personal data held here to export or correct. If you have emailed and want that correspondence deleted, ask and it will be.

Not a lawyer

This page describes how the site works in plain language. It is a factual description, not legal advice, and it is not a contract.
