Privacy Policy

Account Information: When you register for an account (Free or PRO), we collect basic information such as your email address to authenticate your logins and manage your subscription.

Design Data: If you utilize our cloud save feature, we securely store your schematics, component choices, and simulation parameters so you can access them across devices.

Usage Data: We collect basic, anonymized telemetry on how the tool is used to help us squash bugs and improve features.

To support the engineering community, we offer a Free tier of Electronics Architect. To keep this basic tier free of charge, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve advertisements.

For Free Users: We partner with ad networks that use cookies to serve you relevant advertisements while you use the Service. These cookies may track your browsing habits across other sites to tailor the ads you see.

For PRO Users: The PRO tier is completely ad-free, and we do not deploy advertising tracking cookies when you are logged into a PRO account.

Managing Cookies: You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some portions of the Service (such as secure logins) may not function properly.

Cookie Preferences: If you would like to change your consent settings, you can open the preferences banner at any time: Manage Cookie Preferences

Third-Party Analytics & Monitoring: To maintain the reliability and improve the experience of the Electronics Architect platform, we employ third-party tools that may set identifiers or access localStorage:

• PostHog (Analytics): Helps us understand how users interact with our features (e.g., placing components, running simulations). PostHog is loaded dynamically and is fully gated behind user cookie consent. If you click "Reject" or have Global Privacy Control (GPC) enabled, PostHog is completely disabled.
• Sentry (Error Tracking): Monitors client-side exceptions and application health in real-time. It is essential to help us diagnose and patch bugs quickly. No personally identifiable information (PII) is processed by Sentry.
• Stripe (Payment Processing): Handles secure checkout, subscriptions, and billing lifecycle management. Stripe sets necessary fraud prevention and security cookies which are exempt from prior consent rules.

Our Smart Part Search integrates with third-party component distributors, such as DigiKey, to pull live datasheets, pricing, and stock availability to assist with your designs.

Outbound Links: When you click a purchase link in our Find Parts results, you will be directed to the distributor's website. Once you are on the distributor's website, your activity is governed by their respective privacy policies. We do not receive any personally identifiable information from these distributors about your purchases.

Usage Analytics: We log anonymized, aggregate data about which components and distributors are most popular among our users. This helps us improve search relevance and prioritize API integrations. This data is never linked to your personal identity or account information.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your schematics and personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. If we make significant changes, we may notify you via the email address associated with your account or by placing a prominent notice on our website.
