Privacy Policy
The short version: Distilled CS does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Everything you enter stays on your device.
What we collect
Nothing. Distilled CS does not operate servers that receive your data. There are no user accounts, no sign-up forms, and no analytics trackers embedded in the site.
Your assessment data
When you complete the maturity assessment, your answers, scores, company profile, and any optional company name you enter are saved exclusively in your browser's localStorage, a storage area that never leaves your device. We have no access to it, cannot read it, and it is not transmitted anywhere. If you start the assessment but do not finish, your partial answers are saved the same way so you can resume later; they stay on your device until you finish, clear your data, or start over.
You can clear this data at any time from the assessment page using the "Clear & Restart" option, or by clearing your browser's site data. You can also export a backup file and restore it in any browser from the Transform page — this is a local download that never leaves your device.
Some features let you export your own data, such as generating a shareable report link or adding that link to a calendar reminder. When you choose to do this, your assessment data travels inside the link or file you create, so treat those links as private. It still never reaches us.
Cookies
Distilled CS does not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies. Your theme preference and a few UI dismissal states (such as closing the preview banner) are stored in your browser's localStorage and sessionStorage. These are functional only and are never shared.
Infrastructure
Distilled CS is served through Cloudflare. As with any website, Cloudflare's infrastructure processes standard request metadata (such as IP addresses) for the purpose of routing and security. This is handled under Cloudflare's own privacy policy, which we have no control over. We do not receive or store any of this data ourselves.
Third-party links
Some pages link out to external sites (GitHub, LinkedIn, and others). Once you leave Distilled CS, their privacy policies apply. We are not responsible for how those sites handle your data.
Changes to this policy
If we ever introduce features that change how data is handled (such as analytics or a contact form), this policy will be updated before those changes go live, and the "last updated" date at the top will reflect that.
