Privacy Policy

Information handled by this site

GearPatch diagram data is stored primarily in your own browser. Gear names, cable details, notes, viewport state, autosave data, and version history may be saved in localStorage on your device. This data is not automatically uploaded to the GearPatch server.

If you export a diagram as JSON, PNG, SVG, or PDF and then send that file to another person, that sharing is performed by you. GearPatch currently does not provide user accounts, cloud sync, or an in-app contact form.

Use of localStorage

GearPatch uses localStorage for autosave, recent version history, and restoring the previous document state. localStorage is different from cookies and is generally available only within the same browser profile and site origin.

You can remove stored GearPatch data by clearing your browser's site data or by starting a new document inside the app. If you are using a shared or public computer, export any important work as JSON and clear the browser's site data when you are finished.

Analytics

This site uses the Google tag for analytics measurement. Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to understand page views, traffic sources, device information, and general usage patterns. GearPatch uses this information to improve the site and does not use it to read the contents of diagrams stored in your browser.

Google may process analytics data according to its own policies. You can manage cookies through your browser settings and review Google's privacy information for more detail.
