Your files stay on your computer

Tools marked “stays on your computer”, including Issue Trail, read your files inside your own web browser. Your files, the words you search for and the results are never sent to Not Usual or anyone else.

How this is enforced

• The Shed is a set of plain web pages. There is no server, database or account behind these tools that could receive anything.
• Every page carries a browser security rule (a Content Security Policy with connect-src 'none') that tells your browser to block the page from sending data to any website, including ours.
• There is no analytics, tracking, advertising or AI service on these pages. Fonts and pictures come from this site, not from other companies.
• Reports you create are saved by you, to your own computer.

How your IT team can check

• Offline test: open the tool, disconnect from the network, then run a search. It still works.
• Network check: press F12, open the Network tab and run a search. No requests carry your files.

What our hosting does record

Like any website, our hosting provider (Vercel) keeps short-term technical logs of page visits, including the visitor's IP address, browser type and the page address. These never include file names, file contents or search words. Not Usual Ltd is the controller for these logs and uses them only to keep the site running and secure.

Not Usual Ltd, company number 11182055, 167-169 Great Portland Street, London W1W 5PF. Registered with the Information Commissioner's Office.
