>> Privacy_Policy

At Empowering Engineers UK, we prioritize your privacy. This policy outlines how we handle data when you use our free engineering tools.

1. Zero-Data Retention (Tools)

We do not store your professional data on our servers. When you use tools like the STAR Engine, CPD Planner, or Career Starter, your inputs are saved using "Local Storage" technology directly on your own device (browser cache).

This means your confidential STAR examples and career history never leave your computer. You can wipe this data at any time by clearing your browser cache or using the "Reset" buttons provided within each tool.

2. Google AdSense & Cookies

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

3. Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site (e.g., which tools are most popular). This data is anonymized and aggregated. We do not track individual user identities.

4. Your Rights (GDPR)

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal data we hold. Since we do not create user accounts or store personal submissions on our backend, you maintain full control over your data locally.
