Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2, 2026

The Proofing Room is operated by PNWTECHNOLOGY, LLC (Pacific Northwest Technology). Questions about this policy, or requests to see, correct or delete your data: pnwtechinfo@gmail.com. We answer within 30 days.

What we collect

  • Account information. If you sign up, we store your email address and a hashed password (through Supabase Auth) so you can sign in.
  • Signup order.When you create an account, we record your signup number (first, second, and so on) and whether you're one of our early members. That's how we give the first 100 members their Field Guide launch discount.
  • What you save. Recipes you save from the calculators and suppliers you save from the directory are stored so you can come back to them. Only you can see them.
  • Newsletter choice. If you turn the newsletter on in your account, we record that choice. It stays off until you turn it on, and you can turn it off at any time.
  • Purchases through Gumroad. Our guides and checklists sell on Gumroad. If you buy one, Gumroad collects your name, email and payment details under its own privacy policy and shares your email and order with us so we can support your purchase. We show your discount code in your account; we never see your card.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to see how people find and use this site: which pages are viewed, how long a visit lasts, whether you arrived from search or another site, and general device, browser and location information (country and city, estimated from your IP address). Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (named _ga and _ga_ followed by an ID) that give your browser a random identifier, so we can tell a new visit from a return visit. These cookies last up to two years. Google processes this data for us under its privacy policy, and Google Analytics 4 does not log or store full IP addresses. Google Analytics keeps the detailed visit data for 2 months, and we use it only as aggregate reports. We don't use it to identify you, we don't send your name or email address to Google Analytics, and we haven't turned on Google's advertising features.

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, Google Analytics runs without cookies.

To opt out, block cookies in your browser or install Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

How we use it

To run the features you use: your account, saved recipes and suppliers, the newsletter if you opted in, and your launch discount. Analytics is used for aggregate traffic reports, not to identify individual visitors. We don't sell your data and we don't use advertising cookies.

Who can see it

You, and site admins when they're helping you with support. Our service providers process data only to provide their service: Supabase (database and sign-in, including sign-in emails), Vercel (hosting) and Google (analytics). Gumroad handles purchases. We don't sell your data and we don't use advertising cookies.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and saved items while your account is open. When you delete your account, we delete them within 30 days.

Your choices

You can remove saved items and change the newsletter setting in your account, and ask us to delete your account at pnwtechinfo@gmail.com. You can block cookies in your browser, or opt out of Google Analytics with Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Changes to this policy

If what we collect changes, we update this page and its date before the change goes live.
