Privacy Policy & Data Protection Standards

1. Zero Third-Party Behavioral Tracking

Unlike ad-cluttered equipment portals and forums that load dozens of third-party tracking pixels, invasive cookies, and cross-site data brokers, SkidSteerSpecs.online runs zero advertising scripts. We believe mechanics and contractors searching for critical hydraulic fluid capacities or torque specifications deserve fast, unencumbered, private utility.

2. Local Storage & Client-Side Interactivity

Our interactive tools utilize standard client-side browser features:

• pinned_skid_steers: Stores up to 3 machine models you manually pin to the comparison tray. This data remains solely within your browser's local sandbox and is never transmitted to any external server.
• Unit Toggle: Preserves your choice of Imperial (US Gallons / lbs) or Metric (Liters / kg) measurements for your convenience.
• URL Query Parameters: Enables you to share direct machine specifications (`?make=bobcat&model=743`) without requiring an account or session tracking.

3. Server Logs & Edge Infrastructure

When accessing our site, our edge hosting provider (Cloudflare Pages) processes basic technical network telemetry (such as IP address, user-agent string, and requested URI) strictly for DDoS mitigation, caching optimization, and edge security. These server logs are automatically purged on standard retention schedules and are never linked to personal identities.

4. GDPR & CCPA Rights

Because we do not collect personal profiles, email marketing lists, or user accounts, there is zero stored user data to export or sell. Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you retain the right to clear your browser's local cache at any time to remove all saved comparison entries.
