Privacy policy

Who is responsible

The site is run by Ayhan Güngör, an individual who is the data controller for the information below. To ask anything about your data, write to [email protected].

When you decode a cable

We store the designation you typed, whether it decoded, your country and the date. The country comes from the country code our network provider (Cloudflare) attaches to each request; we do not store your IP address, your city or your location with it.

We use these records to improve the decoder (which designations fail, which coding systems people need) and, as totals per region, to price sponsorships. We keep them indefinitely, because they contain nothing that identifies you.

The home page shows the latest designations that decoded, each with the country it was searched from, and the totals (searches, countries). Nothing else from the record is shown, and what you typed appears only if it decoded as a cable designation.

When you use the designer

When a design in the designer has a name the decoder reads back and you keep it unchanged for 20 seconds, we store that name, the design itself (the same data as its link) and your country (from the same Cloudflare country code), at most once per name per visit. Your IP address, city and location are not stored with it. Your browser remembers the names already sent for that visit only, so that they are not sent twice.

These designs appear in the home page list, marked as designed, with their country, and as a count of their own; they are never added to the search totals. A code page shows how often its cable family was designed and links to the sizes designed. We keep them indefinitely, because they contain nothing that identifies you.

The feedback form

If you answer "Did you find what you were looking for?" we store your answer, the topic you chose, any text you write, the designation it was about and your country. Please do not put personal details in the text unless you want us to reply to them.

When you have a datasheet read

If you give the compliance check a datasheet (a PDF, a link or pasted text), the document is sent to the Anthropic API, which reads the cable construction out of it for us. Under Anthropic’s commercial terms, what we send is not used to train their models. The file is held in our service’s memory for the call (at most about two minutes) and is never written to disk on our side.

What was read (the cable values, not the file) stays in memory for 24 hours, tied to a daily code for your connection, so that sending the same file again is not read twice; it is gone after that or when the service restarts. Our call record keeps only the size, the page count, the number of cables read and the cost, never the file, its name, the link or a value from it.

A document that must not leave your company does not need to: the same check works on values you type in yourself, and those never leave your browser.

When you have a tender document read

If you are a Pro member and give the tender reader a project or tender document (a PDF; a Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx) or text file, which your browser turns into text so that only the text is sent; or text you paste in), the document is sent to the Anthropic API, which copies the cables, requirements and schedule values out of it for us. Under Anthropic’s commercial terms, what we send is not used to train their models. The file is held in our service’s memory only while it is read and is never written to disk on our side.

What was read (the values and short quotes of at most 200 characters, not the file) stays in our service’s memory for one hour, tied to a code made from your plan’s folder and the file, so the page can show it again; it is gone after that, when the service restarts, or at once when you press “Forget this reading now”. It is never kept with anything else. Our call record keeps only the size, the page count, the counts of cables, requirements and conflicts, the model and the cost, never the file, its name, a value or a text from it. We never use your document, or anything read from it, to improve this site.

The Word, Excel and CSV downloads of a reading are made in your browser. “Open as a project” sends nothing: it keeps the cables the rules built in this browser’s own storage, for the designer’s requirements panel: the project’s name (the document’s title and number), each cable’s tag, design, description and length, and the document’s own names for its required and offered columns and its conformance codes, which only an Enterprise plan’s specification uses. They stay there until you replace the project or clear your browser’s storage; when you ask the panel for a specification, the project goes with that request.

Under the list of requirements that have no requirement card yet, a button sends us those requirement texts, exactly as listed, only when you press it: not the file, the cables, the document’s name or yours. We keep them to decide which cards to write, and delete each one when its card is written.

A document that must not leave your company does not need to: pick the requirements and type the cables in on the specification page, which never sends them anywhere.

Sponsored spots

When a sponsored spot is shown or clicked, we add one to that sponsorship's view or click total. Nothing about you is recorded: no cookie, no identifier, no IP address. A click passes through our own short redirect to the sponsor's website, whose own privacy policy then applies.

Which sponsorships you see depends only on your country (from the same Cloudflare country code), never on a profile.

Cookies and storage

The site sets no cookies and uses no tracking technology. It does not store anything in your browser to recognise you.

Server logs and our providers

Like any website, our web server records each request (IP address, time, page requested, browser type) to keep the site secure and to fix errors. These logs are deleted after 14 days.

The site runs on a server rented from Hetzner Online. Cloudflare delivers it and protects it from attacks; it processes your requests, including your IP address, for that purpose under its own privacy terms, and gives us only aggregate, cookie-free traffic statistics.

If you buy a sponsorship

We store what you enter in the order form: your email address, company name, purchase order number, the image, text and link of your sponsorship, the slot, region and billing period, the time you accepted the sponsorship terms, and the sponsorship's view and click totals. To stop abuse of the form we also keep a one-way code made from your IP address, which changes every day and cannot be turned back into the address.

Payment is handled by our payment provider (Whop), which takes your payment details and issues the receipt; we never see your card details. Whop tells us whether a payment succeeded and the subscription period, together with your order reference and email address.

We use this information to run your sponsorship, to contact you about it and to meet tax and accounting duties. We keep it while the sponsorship runs and afterwards for as long as tax and accounting law requires.

If you request a quote

From the designer or a dimension page you can ask cable makers for a quote. We then store what you enter: your name, company, email address, phone number if you give one, the quantity, delivery country and date, your note and the cable design, together with the consent you gave and when, and the country your request came from (from the same Cloudflare country code). To stop abuse of the form we also keep a one-way code made from your IP address, which changes every day and cannot be turned back into the address.

Your request goes to thecablecode and to at most three makers of that cable family who receive its quote requests as part of their sponsorship on this site for the region of your delivery country (or, during a trial, a maker we agreed this with in writing). Each receives it in an email of its own with the design attached and answers you directly; what they do with it from then on is governed by their own privacy policy. A maker based outside Türkiye receives it only if you ticked the box that allows that. We send these emails through an email delivery provider, which handles them only to deliver them.

We use the request to pass it on so that makers can quote you, a step you ask for before a possible contract (KVKK art. 5(2)(c), GDPR art. 6(1)(b)); sending it to a maker abroad rests on your explicit consent (KVKK art. 9). Those makers pay us for their sponsorship, not per request. Which makers receive yours depends only on the cable family, the delivery country, their sponsorship and your choice about makers abroad.

We keep the request for 180 days; then it is deleted from our server automatically. Emails already delivered stay with the makers under their own retention. You can withdraw your consent, or ask us to delete your request sooner, at [email protected].

Your rights

Under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK, No. 6698) and, where it applies, the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you can ask what data we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, and object to its use. Write to [email protected]; we answer within 30 days. You can also complain to the Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK) or to the data protection authority of your country.

Changes

If we change what we collect, we update this page and its date.
