Privacy

Minimal data is the default.

Browser-based tools

The calculators, report analyzers, and configuration generators currently available on HomeLab Toolkit run in your browser. Values and reports you enter are not submitted to us, and no account is required. Hardware reports can contain serial numbers or other identifiers, so redact them before sharing generated summaries elsewhere.

Hosting logs

Our hosting and security provider may process standard request data such as IP address, browser information, requested URL, timestamp, and security signals. This is used to deliver and protect the site.

Analytics and cookies

With your permission, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate site usage, such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, referral source, scrolling, and outbound-link activity. We do not use Google Analytics for advertising, and the site keeps analytics storage denied until you choose “Allow analytics.”

The browser stores your choice under hlt_analytics_consent. You can change it at any time through “Analytics settings” in the footer. Values pasted into our calculators, report analyzers, and configuration generators are processed in your browser and are not sent to Google Analytics.

External links

Links to manufacturers, documentation, retailers, and other websites are governed by those sites' own privacy practices. A link does not give us control over their data handling.

Policy changes

We may update this page as the site gains new features. The date above identifies the current version. Material changes will be described here.
