Privacy
You can use the QuickBench editor without an account. Your circuit, settings and inventory are kept in your own browser, and circuit files you save stay on your computer.
When you sign in
Signing in with Google, Microsoft or GitHub gives QuickBench your account's user id at that provider, your name and, when the provider shares it, your email address. QuickBench keeps:
- your account: that user id, name, email address, and when you signed up and last signed in;
- the circuits you save to My circuits;
- your parts inventory, so it is the same on every computer. The first time you sign in, the inventory in your browser is copied to your account;
- the circuit you have open, so you can continue where you left off on another computer;
- a session, so you stay signed in for up to 30 days. It is one cookie, needed for signing in; QuickBench sets no other cookies and uses no analytics or advertising trackers;
- how many assistant requests you made today and yesterday, to apply the daily limit.
QuickBench never sees your password and gets no access to your email, files or contacts at the provider.
The AI assistant
What you type to the assistant, and the circuit it works on, are sent to Anthropic's Claude API to produce the answer. Conversations are not stored by QuickBench: they live in your browser tab and are gone when you close it or start a new chat. Anthropic handles API data under its privacy policy and commercial terms.
Where it is stored
QuickBench runs on Cloudflare (Workers and the D1 database), which stores the data above for QuickBench. Nothing is sold or shared with anyone else.
Deleting your data
In the lab, click your initials in the top-right corner and choose Delete account…. That removes your account, your sessions, your inventory, the circuit you had open and every circuit in My circuits at once. The count of today's assistant requests is deleted within two days.
