Checklist progress
Checklist completion is stored in your browser under keys beginning with psl_checklist_. Clearing site data removes it.
Privacy Policy
Profile Settings Lab is a privacy education site. The service keeps checklist progress, cookie preferences, newsletter entries, and contact messages under the stated privacy controls.
Cookie And Local Storage Preferences
Essential browser storage is used to remember whether you closed the preference banner and to save checklist progress locally. Optional analytics and personalization categories are represented in the banner for deployment readiness, but this site does not load external trackers.
Contact and newsletter forms
Forms validate locally and show a confirmation message. A production deployment should connect them to a processor with its own privacy terms.
Data Categories
| Category | Used in this site | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie choices | Stored locally to keep the preference banner from reappearing. | Until cleared by the browser or user. |
| Checklist state | Stored locally so progress survives a page reload. | Until cleared by the browser or user. |
| Submitted form content | Validated in the browser before intake. | Handled according to the retention rules listed above. |
Your Controls
You can clear local storage through your browser settings, open the preference banner from the footer, or avoid optional categories by choosing essential only. If you connect this site to analytics, email, or form services, update this policy before launch.
