Hardware Math

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-07-07

Hardware Math is a free, independent website offering PC-hardware calculators (PSU wattage sizing, monitor PPI and viewing-distance, GPU power-connector checks) and educational guides. This Privacy Policy explains, plainly and honestly, what happens to your data when you use the site. The short version: we do not collect any personal information about you, and we have no technical way to do so.

The site is a fully static website hosted on Cloudflare Pages. There is no server-side code, no backend, no database, and no accounts. Every calculator runs entirely in your own browser. Because nothing you type is ever sent anywhere, there is genuinely nothing for us to store, sell, or share.

Effective date: 2026-07-07. If our practices ever change, we will update this page and the effective date, and — as described below — we will ask for your consent before turning on anything that would collect data.

We Do Not Collect Personal Information

Hardware Math does not collect, request, or store personal information. There are no user accounts, no logins, and no profiles. We do not ask for your name, email address, or any other identifying detail in order to use the calculators or read the guides.

The calculators work by doing math in your browser. When you enter values — such as component wattages, a screen resolution, or a GPU model — those inputs are processed locally on your device to produce an estimate on the same page. They are never transmitted to us or to anyone else, and they are not saved after you leave or refresh the page.

No Backend, No Forms, No Data Submission

This is a fully static site hosted on Cloudflare Pages. There is no server-side code that runs on your behalf, no database, and no application backend of any kind. Because of this, there is no place for personal data to be received or stored even if we wanted to store it.

There are no contact forms, sign-up forms, comment boxes, or any other fields that submit data to a server. If you see a way to type into a calculator, that input stays in your browser only.

No Analytics and No Third-Party Tracking

We do not use website analytics, advertising scripts, or third-party trackers. We do not run Google Analytics or any comparable service, and we do not build profiles of visitors or track you across pages or across other websites.

The site is entirely first-party and static. We do not load third-party embeds, fonts, images, or scripts. Everything the page needs is served directly from the site itself, so no outside company receives a record of your visit through embedded content on our pages.

No Cookies

The site sets no cookies at all — not for analytics, not for advertising, and not for "improving your experience." We want to be precise about this because vague "we use cookies" language would be false here.

The only client-side storage we use is your browser's localStorage, and it holds exactly one value: your light/dark theme preference. This lets the site remember whether you prefer light or dark mode on your next visit. That value stays on your device, is never sent to any server, and contains nothing personal. You can clear it at any time through your browser's site-data controls.

We Do Not Sell, Share, or Transfer Your Data

We do not sell, rent, share, or transfer personal data to anyone — because we do not collect any in the first place. There is no data set of visitor information to monetize, disclose, or hand off.

We also do not use third-party data processors, advertising networks, or marketing platforms in connection with this site. Since no personal data is collected or stored, there is nothing to process on our behalf.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children and is intended for a general audience interested in PC hardware. Regardless of a visitor's age, we collect no personal information from anyone, so we do not knowingly collect data from children or anyone else.

External Links

Our guides and pages may link to external websites, such as manufacturer specification pages or reference material. Once you follow a link away from Hardware Math, you are subject to that website's own privacy practices, which we do not control.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit. This Privacy Policy applies only to Hardware Math.

If Our Practices Change in the Future

If we ever decide to add analytics, contact forms, feedback tools, affiliate links, or any other feature that would collect or transmit data, we will not turn it on silently. We will update this Privacy Policy first to describe exactly what would be collected and why.

Where such a feature would collect data from you, we will also add an appropriate consent mechanism before it becomes active, so that the choice is yours. Until you see this policy updated to say otherwise, the site remains a no-collection, no-tracking static site.

A Note on the Calculators

The calculator outputs are estimates for planning only. They are not electrical, engineering, safety, legal, financial, or professional advice, and they come with no guarantee of compatibility, stability, performance, or purchase outcomes.

Please verify any result against the manufacturer's official specifications before you buy or build. Hardware reference data on this site is best-effort sample data that may need verification and is not guaranteed to be complete, current, or accurate. This note is included for transparency; it does not change the fact that your inputs stay in your browser.

How to Contact Us About Privacy

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, you can reach the site owner at [email protected].

For any matter that requires a formal legal entity, mailing address, or governing-law jurisdiction, those details are to be completed by the site owner: [legal entity to be specified by the site owner] and [jurisdiction to be specified by the site owner].

Changes to This Policy and Effective Date

This Privacy Policy is effective as of 2026-07-07. If we make changes, we will revise the text on this page and update the effective date shown here.

Because there are no accounts and no mailing list, we cannot notify you individually. We communicate changes by publishing the updated policy on this page, so we encourage you to check back if privacy is important to you. Meaningful changes — especially any that would introduce data collection — will be described clearly rather than buried, and will be accompanied by a consent step where one is needed.
