How we handle your data on Signal Chain Optimizer

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy notice explains how diy-instrument-pedal-signal-chain-optimizer.hub2.day handles information when you visit or interact with this site. The site is a focused, independent web utility that helps guitarists, bassists, and pedalboard builders plan an optimized signal chain order for their instrument, pedals, and amp type. We aim to be transparent about what data is collected, why, and what choices you have.

Information We Collect

Browser-Local Project Inputs

When you select your instrument, pedals, and amp type to generate a suggested signal chain, that information is processed in your browser to produce the recommendation. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not store your pedalboard configurations on our servers by default. If the site uses browser storage (such as localStorage) to remember your recent setup for convenience, that data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.

Contact Email

If you contact us at hello@diy-instrument-pedal-signal-chain-optimizer.hub2.day, we will see the content of your message and any information you choose to include. We use replies only to respond to your inquiry and do not add your email address to a marketing list.

Server and Security Logs

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may automatically log limited technical information such as IP address, browser type, referring pages, and timestamps. These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, and basic operational troubleshooting. They are not used to build individual profiles.

Cookies and Local Storage

This site may use cookies or similar browser storage for:

  • Remembering your recent pedalboard selections so you can continue where you left off.
  • Storing your consent preferences for advertising and analytics cookies.
  • Supporting basic site functionality and security.

You can manage or delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some convenience features but will not prevent you from using the core signal chain optimizer.
