Privacy

Last updated: May 3, 2026

Overview

This privacy notice describes how vintage-tool-value-ledger.hub2.day (the "Site") handles information when you use the Vintage Tool Value Ledger, a free web utility for estimating the restoration path, collector interest, and keep-repair-or-pass-along value of old hand tools. We collect as little information as possible and aim to keep the Site useful without tracking you unnecessarily.

Browser-local project inputs

When you enter a tool's maker, approximate age, and condition details, that information is processed in your browser to produce results. We do not transmit these project entries to our servers as part of normal use, and we do not store them in a database. If your browser offers local storage for convenience, that data stays on your device and can be cleared through your browser settings at any time.

Contact email

If you write to us at hello@vintage-tool-value-ledger.hub2.day, we receive your email address and whatever content you include. We use this information only to respond to your message, answer questions about the Site, or address a reported problem. We do not add correspondence to a marketing list without your explicit consent.

Server and security logs

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure automatically records basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, requested page, timestamps, and error events. These logs help us keep the Site available, diagnose faults, and detect abuse or attempted intrusions. Security and server logs are retained for a limited period, generally no longer than necessary for these purposes, and then deleted or aggregated.

Cookies, local storage, and similar technologies

The Site may use cookies or local storage for essential functions and for advertising. Essential storage supports basic operation. Advertising technologies may set cookies that measure ad performance and show ads that may be relevant to you. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how advertising or certain features behave.

Google AdSense and advertising

This Site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other websites. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at Google's partner-sites policy page. You can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings, or opt out of certain third-party vendor cookies via aboutads.info.

GDPR, EEA, and UK visitors

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, personalized advertising is served only where the applicable consent requirements are met, including through a consent management mechanism where one is presented. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time through the cookie or consent controls available on the Site or through your browser. Where we rely on legitimate interests, such as keeping the Site secure and running it reliably, you may object by contacting us. You may also have rights to access, correct, restrict, or delete personal data we hold about you, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

CCPA and CPRA choices for California residents

If you are a California resident, you may have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense, but advertising partners may use cookies in ways that the law treats as sharing. You can opt out through the links above or by contacting us at hello@vintage-tool-value-ledger.hub2.day. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Service providers

We rely on hosting providers, content delivery networks, and advertising providers such as Google to operate the Site. These providers process information only as needed to perform their services and are bound by their own privacy terms. We do not otherwise share personal information with third parties except where required by law or to protect the Site, its visitors, or others from harm.

Retention

Contact correspondence is kept only as long as needed to resolve your request and for a reasonable period afterward. Server and security logs are retained for a limited period and then removed. Browser-local data remains on your device until you clear it. Advertising cookies follow the retention periods set by the relevant provider and your browser settings.

Children

The Site is intended for general audiences, including adults and families who inherit or maintain garage and workshop tools. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the Site and information in our control, including encrypted connections where supported. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-party links

The Site may link to external websites, tool suppliers, or collector resources. Those sites are governed by their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for their content or data handling. Please review their policies before providing information.

International processing

Our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries where they operate. When information is transferred internationally, we rely on the safeguards that providers make available under applicable law.

Contact requests

To ask a privacy question, request access or deletion, withdraw consent, or exercise any rights described above, email hello@vintage-tool-value-ledger.hub2.day. We may ask you to confirm your identity before fulfilling a request. We aim to respond within a reasonable time.

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
