Legal Notice & Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2026
1. Privacy Policy & Cookies
SmartEng Tools, operated as a personal educational website, is committed to protecting your privacy and processing your personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and applicable data protection laws.
This site does not collect registration data, does not require a user account, and does not store any personal data directly. All information entered into the tools (grades, financial values, RISC-V instructions, etc.) is processed entirely in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers.
2. Use of Cookies
We use third-party cookies through the Google AdSense service (Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to display personalised advertisements. These cookies allow Google and its partners to show ads based on your previous visits to this site and other websites.
Google AdSense may use the following cookie categories: performance and analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics), personalised advertising cookies, and functionality cookies. You can review Google's full privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy and manage your ad preferences at https://adssettings.google.com.
In addition to Google cookies, this site may use strictly necessary technical cookies for proper navigation (e.g. local storage to save language preferences or custom templates in the Festival Clash Finder). These cookies do not track your behaviour for advertising purposes.
3. Your Rights (GDPR)
Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, as well as the right to data portability. Since we do not process personal data directly, the exercise of these rights is primarily directed at Google LLC as the data controller for advertising cookies.
To manage or withdraw your consent to advertising cookies you can: (1) use the consent banner displayed on your first visit, (2) visit https://adssettings.google.com, or (3) configure your browser's cookie settings. For any privacy enquiries please contact us at the email address in the footer.
4. Data Controller
Owner: SmartEng Tools (personal website). Contact email: as shown in the footer. As the site does not directly collect personal data and does not exceed the thresholds requiring a DPO, no Data Protection Officer has been designated.
5. Legal Basis for Processing
The use of Google AdSense advertising cookies is based on user consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which can be granted or withdrawn at any time. Strictly necessary technical cookies are covered by the legitimate interest of ensuring the site functions correctly (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
6. Terms of Service
Access to and use of the educational tools provided on SmartEng Tools (architecture simulators, calculators, logic minimisers and similar) is completely free of charge and intended solely for educational and technical reference purposes.
We do not guarantee the absolute accuracy of results generated by our algorithms for industrial production or official academic environments; users are responsible for verifying results. The interface design and platform logic are the property of SmartEng Tools. Commercial reproduction or distribution without explicit written consent is strictly prohibited.
