Privacy Policy
We believe that your financial decisions are your own business. WorthTheRepair is designed to be a private, client-side tool. Here is exactly how we handle your data.
1. Local Data Processing
The core functionality of WorthTheRepair - calculating depreciation, comparing repair quotes, and determining break-even points - runs entirely in your web browser. When you enter the cost of an appliance or a repair quote, that information is processed by JavaScript running on your device. We do not transmit your financial inputs to our servers.
2. Local Storage & Cookies
To make the tool easier to use, we may store your most recent inputs (such as the item category or original purchase price) in your browser's Local Storage.
- This data stays on your device.
- It is used solely to repopulate the form if you refresh the page or return later.
- You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's cache or local storage.
3. Third-Party Services
We use a minimal set of third-party services to ensure the site functions correctly and looks good:
- Google Fonts: We use Google Fonts to serve the typefaces used on this website. When your browser loads these fonts, it makes a request to Google's servers, which may receive standard log information (such as your IP address).
4. No Personal Data Collection
We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email, or phone number to use the calculator. Since we do not collect this personal data, we cannot sell it or share it with advertisers.
5. Updates to This Policy
As we add features to WorthTheRepair, this policy may change to reflect new functionality. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
