1. Local-First Calculation & Shareable URL State
When you add household appliances, change ambient temperatures, or generate a shareable ?plan= link inside our calculator, all math executes inside client-side JavaScript inside your own web browser. RuntimeVerdict does not store your home load profile, medical CPAP setup, or street outage plans inside any remote server database.
Because your configuration travels inside the query string when you choose to copy a shareable URL, anyone with whom you explicitly share that link can view the selected appliance watts and reference station parameters contained inside that link.
2. Edge Infrastructure & Privacy-Respecting Analytics
RuntimeVerdict is served globally via Cloudflare Pages static edge caching. Infrastructure security logs and privacy-first aggregate web analytics may record non-identifying request metadata (such as country region, browser user-agent family, and requested URL path) solely to defend against automated scraping and measure page speed performance without cross-site fingerprinting.
3. Outbound Affiliate Links & Advertising Partners
If you click an outbound manufacturer or retailer link (such as Bluetti, Jackery, EcoFlow, Anker SOLIX, or Amazon), that destination merchant may place a temporary referral attribution cookie (typically lasting 24 hours on Amazon or up to 30 days on direct brand stores) under their own published privacy policy to credit qualifying purchases.
When third-party display advertising (such as Google AdSense) is enabled on editorial pages, Google and partner ad networks may use cookies or local device identifiers subject to regional privacy laws including EEA/UK GDPR consent prompts and CCPA opt-out controls. You may adjust ad personalization anytime via Google Ad Settings or browser cookie controls.
4. International Visitor Rights & Data Requests
RuntimeVerdict collects zero user accounts, names, physical street addresses, or credit card numbers directly on this domain. Visitors located inside the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, or California retain full control over any future third-party cookie consent banner preferences and can clear browser-level local parameters at any time without degrading calculator accuracy.
Because embedded widgets served via /embed/calculator/ run purely inside the client browser frame without placing tracking beacons on host blogs or preparedness wikis, embedding our outage tool respects third-party site visitor privacy as well. Questions regarding data handling, privacy opt-outs, or embedded calculator frames may be directed to hello@runtimeverdict.com.
