Privacy Policy ​

Effective Date: January 16, 2025 Last Updated: January 16, 2025

Introduction ​

PerchIQX ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website semantic-perch-docs.michshat.workers.dev and associated MCP server. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our site or use our tools.

TL;DR: We don't collect personal data, track you, or use cookies. Your database credentials and schema data stay local. Privacy by design.

Information We Collect ​

Information You Provide ​

We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to access PerchIQX documentation or tools.

Automatically Collected Information ​

Currently Collected: None

  • ❌ No analytics tracking
  • ❌ No cookies or local storage (beyond VitePress search)
  • ❌ No IP address logging
  • ❌ No user behavior tracking
  • ❌ No database schema uploads to our servers

Our documentation uses VitePress's built-in local search, which indexes content entirely in your browser. Search data:

  • Is generated from documentation pages
  • Stays in your browser's local storage
  • Never leaves your device
  • Can be cleared via browser settings

Future Changes ​

If we implement analytics or tracking in the future:

  • This policy will be updated with clear notice
  • We will use privacy-respecting tools (e.g., Cloudflare Analytics)
  • You will be notified via this page
  • Analytics will be optional or anonymized

How We Use Information ​

Since we don't collect personal information, we don't use, share, or sell any user data.

MCP Server and Local Execution ​

Your Data Stays Local ​

PerchIQX MCP server runs locally on your machine, not in the cloud.

What this means:

  • Your Cloudflare API tokens are stored in .env files on your computer
  • Database schema introspection happens locally via Cloudflare D1 API
  • SQL recommendations are generated client-side
  • No schema data is transmitted to PerchIQX servers (because we don't have servers)

What We Don't See ​

We have no access to:

  • Your Cloudflare account credentials
  • Your database schemas or table structures
  • Your query patterns or data
  • Your API usage or request logs

Cloudflare's Privacy Policy ​

When you use PerchIQX with Cloudflare D1:

  • Your data is subject to Cloudflare's Privacy Policy
  • API requests go directly from your machine to Cloudflare
  • PerchIQX acts as a local client, not a proxy

We recommend reviewing Cloudflare's privacy practices if you have concerns about data handling.

  • Is not transmitted to any servers

Data Security ​

Local-First Architecture ​

Since PerchIQX runs locally:

  • Your data security depends on your machine's security
  • Use strong passwords and encryption for sensitive credentials
  • Store API tokens in .env files (never commit to version control)
  • Follow Cloudflare's security best practices

Documentation Site Security ​

Our documentation site is served over HTTPS via Cloudflare's CDN:

  • ✅ Encrypted connections (TLS 1.2+)
  • ✅ DDoS protection
  • ✅ CDN caching for performance

Your Rights ​

Since we don't collect personal data, traditional data rights (access, deletion, portability) don't apply. However:

Right to Browse Anonymously ​

You can browse PerchIQX documentation:

  • Without creating an account
  • Without providing personal information
  • With ad blockers enabled
  • With VPNs or Tor (if desired)

Right to Control Local Data ​

For VitePress local storage (search index, theme preference):

  • Clear via browser settings (Application > Local Storage)
  • Disable JavaScript to prevent storage (breaks search)
  • Use private/incognito browsing (storage is session-only)

Children's Privacy ​

PerchIQX is a professional developer tool. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13 years of age.

If you are a parent/guardian and believe your child has provided us with information, please contact us (though we likely don't have it).

This documentation site is hosted on Cloudflare's global CDN:

  • Content is cached in edge locations worldwide
  • Your connection routes to the nearest edge server
  • Subject to Cloudflare's data processing agreements

MCP Server (Local) ​

The PerchIQX MCP server runs entirely on your machine:

  • No international data transfers
  • Data stays in your jurisdiction
  • Subject to your local data protection laws

Changes to This Privacy Policy ​

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will:

  • Be posted on this page
  • Include an updated "Last Updated" date

Continued use of PerchIQX after changes constitutes acceptance.
