Privacy

Eurorack Reference is a free, public service with no accounts and no login. We collect as little as possible, never anything that identifies you, and we do not sell or share data. This page explains exactly what is and isn't collected.

What the MCP server logs

When your AI assistant calls a tool, we record anonymous operational data: the tool name, a sanitized form of the arguments (search text is reduced to a short prefix and a length, never stored in full), a one-way hashed session identifier (derived from the value your client sends, not the raw value), timing, and whether the call succeeded. We use this to find gaps in the corpus and improve the service.

We do not require or store accounts, names, email addresses, or any personal identifiers. Your IP address is used only momentarily for rate-limiting and abuse prevention and is not stored alongside the query logs.

Website analytics

eurorackref.com uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless and collects only aggregate, non-identifying data (page views, referrers, and performance metrics). It does not track you across other sites, and it sets no cookies.

Cookies

We set no tracking or advertising cookies. Cloudflare, our infrastructure provider, may set strictly-necessary cookies for security and abuse prevention.

Infrastructure and third parties

The site and MCP server run entirely on Cloudflare (hosting, CDN, the D1 database, and Web Analytics). Cloudflare processes requests on our behalf under its own privacy terms. We use no other third-party trackers or advertising networks.

Corpus content

The data we serve is built from publicly-available manufacturer manuals and product pages, with provenance tracked per fact and a link back to the source. Manufacturers who want their content removed or attributed differently can reach us via About › Attribution & takedown.
