What this site keeps about you

The site uses your browser's local storage for four things. Each stays on your device, is never sent to us, and goes when you clear the site's data.

• pcbuilder.themelight or dark, so the page does not flash on load
• pcbuilder.buildthe build in progress, so a reload keeps it
• pcbuilder.librarythe builds you have saved, under their names
• pcbuilder.comparethe last pair on the Compare tab

The builder's share link encodes your build in the address itself, after the #. A browser never sends that part of an address to a server, so a shared build is read only by whoever has the link. Exported builds are files on your device.

The host keeps ordinary access logs (address, time, page) for its default retention, to run the site. Nothing here identifies you, so no log is joined to a person.

The server reads two outside sources on its own schedule: Blender Open Data for benchmark medians, and, when a price refresh runs, the price sources named on the About page. Those reads carry no visitor data.

“Where to buy” links to each shop's own search — Newegg, Amazon, Best Buy, B&H, Micro Center — and the Benchmarks card links to Blender Open Data. After that, that site's policy applies. This site sets nothing there and reads nothing back. There are no affiliate links, and the Disclosure page says so.

Changes to this page carry the date below.
