Complete data privacy guaranteed

- Storage stays local - information saved only where you choose to save it
- No accounts required - no sign-ups, logins, or user profiles to manage
Zero data collection
CCEW doesn’t collect, store, or have access to:Customer names, addresses, or contact information
Job details, installation information, or test results
Your business information or installer details
Usage patterns, analytics, or behavioural data
