Privacy policy

Effective 2026-09-07 · DRAFT pending operator review

This policy explains what HaulBench (“we”) collects when you use haulbench.com, and what we do with it. The short version: we collect as little as we can, calculators run in your browser, and we only email people who asked us to.

What we collect

• Server logs. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes your IP address, user agent and the pages you request to serve the site and protect it from abuse. We do not use these logs to identify you.
• Analytics. We use privacy-preserving, cookie-less analytics (Cloudflare Web Analytics) that report aggregate page views and performance. No cross-site tracking.
• Calculator inputs. Tools store your inputs in your browser's local storage so they are there when you return. They are never sent to us.
• Email alerts. If you subscribe to a data alert, we store your email address, the alerts you chose, the time you confirmed (double opt-in) and your IP address at confirmation. We use this only to send the alerts you requested and service messages about them.
• Contact. If you email us, we keep the correspondence for as long as needed to handle it.

Advertising

We may show advertising from third-party networks such as Google AdSense. These networks may use cookies or similar identifiers to serve and measure ads; where required, we ask for your consent before loading them. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info. Some links are referral links; if you sign up through them we may earn a commission at no cost to you. Referral relationships never change the data we show.

Your rights

You can unsubscribe from any email with one click. You can ask us to export or delete the data we hold about you by emailing [email protected]; we respond within 30 days. Residents of the EU/UK, California and other jurisdictions with privacy laws have the rights those laws provide, including access, correction, deletion and objection.

Data sharing and retention

We do not sell personal data. We share it only with processors that run the site for us (hosting, email delivery, analytics) under contracts that restrict use, or when the law requires. Subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe plus 90 days for suppression; contact correspondence for two years.

Children

The site is for business users and not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

We will post changes here and update the effective date. Material changes to how we use subscriber data are announced by email.

Operator: the site operator. Contact: [email protected].
