This site is built to know as little about you as possible.
Home Recall Watch has no accounts, no signups, no advertising scripts, and sets no cookies. Usage is measured only as anonymous, cookie-free page counts. Saved products stay in your browser. Messages you choose to submit through the contact form are sent to the site operator.

What stays on your device
When you save a product, your browser stores a small recall reference locally: the recall number, product name, firm, category, the page address, and the time you saved it. This powers the “Check my products” view without an account, and it is never transmitted to us or anyone else.
You are in full control of that list. Remove individual items in the product-check view, or clear this site's data in your browser settings to erase it entirely.
What is processed to deliver the site
Like every website, the hosting and network infrastructure that serves these pages processes standard technical data when you visit: your IP address, the time and address of the request, and basic browser information. This data is used to deliver pages and protect the service from abuse. We do not use it to identify you, build profiles, or track your activity.
Recall photos load directly from CPSC's own website, so displaying one sends an image request from your browser to cpsc.gov — the U.S. federal agency that published the notice. The request carries no referrer, and no other third party receives any request when you view a recall page.
Anonymous usage measurement
To understand which pages help people, this site counts page views with Vercel Web Analytics. The counting is cookie-free: no cookie, no device fingerprint, and no identifier that persists across days or follows you to other sites. What we see are aggregate numbers — how many visits a page received — never who you are or what you did elsewhere.
Cookies
This site sets no cookies — not for tracking, not for preferences, not for anything. That is why there is no cookie banner: there is nothing to consent to.
What this site does not do
- No user accounts or cloud profiles
- No newsletter or recall-alert signup
- No behavioral or advertising tracking
- No sale or sharing of personal information
- No tracking of your activity on other sites
The reserved ad and future-offer areas you may notice in the layout are inactive interface components. They load no ad network and transmit no data to any commercial partner.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
This site does not profile visitors and does not sell or share personal information, so browser signals like Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control require no change in how it behaves. What those signals ask for is already the default here — anonymous page counts contain nothing to sell, share, or opt out of.
Children's privacy
Home Recall Watch is a general-audience reference and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Please do not include information about children in contact messages.
Official and third-party links
Links to CPSC, SaferProducts.gov, manufacturers, or other external sites take you to services with their own privacy practices. Home Recall Watch does not control those services.
Contact messages
When you submit the contact form, your message, optional page link and optional reply email are processed by our hosting provider and sent viaFormSubmit to the site operator's mailbox. We use them to review the issue and reply when needed. The site does not add you to a mailing list or store your message in an application database; copies are handled by the email providers and the recipient mailbox. Your browser sends the validated submission directly to FormSubmit, which also receives standard connection information such as your IP address. FormSubmit retains submissions in its archive for 30 days.
A short-lived hash of the request's network address is held in server memory to limit repeated submissions. Please leave out sensitive personal, financial or medical details. Report product incidents through SaferProducts.gov rather than this form. See FormSubmit's privacy policy for its processing practices.
Changes to this notice
If a feature that processes personal data is ever added — alerts, accounts, or advertising — this notice will be updated before that feature is turned on, and the date at the top will change.
