Privacy Policy
The short version: there's nothing to police. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. Below is the honest, complete list of what actually touches a server when you use a Trident Tools page — no more, no less.
Last updated August 8, 2026 · Applies to every page on this site (tools.tridentsocial.net).
1. No accounts, no sign-up, no personal data collected
There is nowhere to register on this site, no login, and no user database. We don't ask for your name, email, or any other personal information to use any tool here, and we have no way to identify you across visits.
2. No analytics, no cookies, no advertising trackers
We don't run Google Analytics, Cloudflare Web Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any other analytics or advertising script. We don't set cookies. We don't fingerprint devices. There is no dashboard on our end showing who visited what, because nothing writes that data anywhere we can read it.
3. What you type into a calculator stays in your browser
Every calculator on this site — the film budget builder, the aspect-ratio tool, the export estimator — runs entirely in client-side JavaScript. The numbers, ratios, and choices you enter are never sent to a server; they're used to run the math directly in your browser and displayed back to you.
The Indie Film Budget Calculator saves your in-progress budget and named scenarios to your browser's own localStorage so your work survives a page refresh. That storage lives only on your device — it is not synced, uploaded, or visible to us. Clearing your browser data clears it. The "Save file" / "Open file" buttons write and read a plain .json file through your browser's normal file picker; that file goes only where you choose to save it.
CSV, JSON, and PDF exports are generated locally in your browser (PDF via your browser's native print dialog) and download straight to your device — none of it passes through our servers.
4. What does touch a server: standard hosting logs
This site is served by Cloudflare Workers. Like essentially any website, Cloudflare's edge network logs standard request metadata for every request — IP address, user agent, requested path, timestamp, and response status — as part of operating the network (performance, abuse and DDoS mitigation, uptime). This is Cloudflare's standard infrastructure logging, governed by Cloudflare's own privacy policy. We don't layer any analytics on top of it, and we don't pull reports from it to track individual visitors — it exists for keeping the site online, not for watching you use it.
One thing we do add, and it belongs in an honest list: when a request errors, our code writes a single line to that same Cloudflare log recording the time, the request method, the path (with anything identifier-shaped replaced by :id), the response status, and the error's name and message. That's the whole record, and it's only written when something breaks. It contains nothing you typed — no request bodies, no cookies, no query strings — because none of that is sent to the server in the first place. It exists so a broken page is noticed by us rather than by you. It is error logging, not analytics: there is still no per-visitor or per-page-view record anywhere, and nothing accumulates on a normal visit.
5. Fonts are served from this site — no third-party font requests
This site previously loaded the Space Grotesk and Inter typefaces from Google Fonts' CDN, which meant Google's servers saw your IP address and user agent on every page view. That is no longer the case. Both typefaces are now served as ordinary files from this domain, alongside the rest of the page. No request goes to fonts.googleapis.com or fonts.gstatic.com, and the site's Content-Security-Policy no longer permits one.
The Indie Film Budget Calculator goes one step further and uses only system fonts already on your device, so it downloads no font files at all.
With this change, every page on this site loads all of its content — HTML, CSS, JavaScript, fonts, images — from this domain alone. The only external addresses left anywhere on the site are ordinary links you have to click, covered in section 6.
6. Outbound links & contact
Links to tridentsocial.net, our portfolio, and mailto: contact links are ordinary hyperlinks — following one takes you to that site or opens your own mail client, subject to that destination's own policies. We don't track outbound clicks.
7. Changes to this policy
If what this site collects or sends ever changes — a new tool with different behavior, for instance — this page will be updated to match before that change ships, not after. Check the "last updated" date above.
