Privacy

Your data stays on your device. Always.

Local-First Architecture

PsyCogSec uses a local-first design. All your data including assessment results, progress, skill scores, and personal notes is stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage.

localStorage.getItem('psycogsec_user_data')

This data never leaves your device. There are no servers receiving your information.

No Accounts Required

We do not require user accounts. There is no registration, no email collection, no password to remember. You can start using PsyCogSec immediately without providing any personal information.

No Tracking

PsyCogSec does not use:

  • Analytics services (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.)
  • Tracking pixels or beacons
  • Third-party cookies
  • Fingerprinting techniques
  • Session recording tools

We have no interest in your behavior patterns, demographics, or browsing habits. The application works entirely offline once loaded.

What Gets Stored (Locally)

The following data is stored in your browser's localStorage:

  • Assessment results and skill scores
  • Module completion progress
  • Scenario/simulation results
  • Drill history and scores
  • Personal journal entries (if you use that feature)
  • Custom protocols you create
  • Display preferences (dark mode, etc.)

Your Data, Your Control

Because your data is stored locally:

  • Delete anytime: Clear your browser data or use our reset function to remove everything
  • Export your data: Download your progress as JSON for backup or portability
  • No recovery needed: Since we never had your data, there is nothing to "request deletion" of
  • Device-specific: Your data exists only on the device and browser where you use PsyCogSec

Limitations to Be Aware Of

The local-first approach has tradeoffs:

  • No sync: Progress does not sync between devices or browsers
  • Data loss risk: Clearing browser data deletes your progress permanently
  • No recovery: We cannot help you recover lost data since we never had it

We recommend periodically exporting your data if you want to preserve it.

Questions?

If you have questions about our privacy practices or want to verify our claims, the code is open source. You can inspect exactly what data is stored and confirm that no network requests are made to external services.
