doesitrun.ai is a free tool from EnableVue. This policy explains what the website does with information. In short: you can use everything on the site without an account, the site has no ads, and we do not sell personal information.
The phone app has its own policy: App privacy policy.
Using the site without an account
- Your hardware. The device or graphics card you detect or pick is saved in your browser so pages can show results for it. It is sent to us only if you sign in to an account (see below). Detection reads what your browser reports about its graphics chip and screen; that stays in the browser.
- Votes and feedback. A thumbs up or down, or an answer to “Was this page helpful?”, is stored with a random ID kept in the cookie
rl_voter(one year) so you can change your answer. If you type a note with a thumbs down, we store the note. No name or email address is attached. - Other things kept in your browser. Light or dark mode, your recent site searches, which feedback questions you have answered, and a count of your visits used to decide when to ask whether the site is useful to you. None of this is sent to us.
Accounts
Accounts are optional. An account does one thing: it keeps the hardware you have saved, so you can see it from any device you sign in on.
What we store when you have an account
- Your email address. We use it to send you sign-in emails and to show you which account you are signed in to. We do not send newsletters or marketing to it, and we do not share or sell it.
- Your saved hardware. For each browser you sign in on: the device or graphics card you detected or picked, how many cards, how much system memory, whether it was detected or picked, the date, and a random ID that tells that browser’s entry apart from your others.
- Dates. When the account was created, last changed and last signed in to.
We store no name, no password (there isn’t one) and no payment details.
Signing in
You type your email address and we email you a link and a 6-digit code. Both work once and stop working after 15 minutes. The request is stored with your address until you use it or it runs out; unused requests are deleted automatically, at the latest a day after they run out. If someone types your address by mistake, you get an email you can ignore: no account is created unless the link or code is used.
To stop misuse we count how many sign-in emails are asked for per email address and per internet address (IP), for up to a day. The counters are stored under a one-way code, not under the address itself.
Cookies and browser storage used by accounts
These are needed for signing in. They are not used for advertising or to follow you across sites.
| Name | What it is for | How long |
|---|---|---|
rl_req (cookie) | Links a sign-in email to the browser that asked for it | 15 minutes |
rl_acct (cookie) | Keeps you signed in. Scripts cannot read it | 180 days, or until you sign out |
rl_in (cookie) | Holds only “1”, so pages know to show your account | Same as rl_acct |
runlocal.acct.id (browser storage) | The random ID for this browser’s entry in your device list | Until you delete the account or clear site data |
runlocal.acct.hw (browser storage) | A copy of the hardware last saved to your account, so it is not sent again | Until you sign out |
runlocal.acct.sent (browser storage, this tab only) | The address you just typed, so the page can keep showing “Check your email” | 15 minutes, or until the tab closes |
Signing out and deleting your account
On the account page you can sign out, sign out on every device at once, remove any saved device, or choose Delete my account and data. Deleting removes your email address, your saved devices and every sign-in session from our database straight away and cannot be undone. Hardware saved in your browser stays in your browser until you clear it there.
Backups of the site’s database can hold a copy for a limited time before they are overwritten.
We keep an account until you delete it. If you can’t sign in and want your account deleted, write to [email protected] from the account’s email address.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages are used. It sets its own cookies (_ga and _ga_…). When someone asks for a sign-in email or signs in, we record that it happened, whether the link or the code was used, and whether the account was new. The email address is never sent to Google Analytics.
Server logs
Like any website, our server and our network provider record each request (IP address, browser, page and time) to keep the site running and secure. These logs are kept for a limited time.
Who handles data for us
- DreamHost: hosting and email, in the United States. Its mail runs through MailChannels.
- Cloudflare: network and caching.
- Google: Analytics.
Your choices
You can ask what we hold about you and ask us to correct or delete it. For an account you can do this yourself on the account page. For anything else, write to [email protected].
The phone app
The app has no accounts and its own policy at /app-privacy/. Website pages opened from inside the app are this website and follow this policy.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update it here and change the date above.
