Complete data privacy guaranteed

CCEW processes all information locally on your device. Customer details, job information, and certificates never leave your control, ensuring complete privacy and compliance with data protection requirements.

How local processing works

No data transmission

Unlike cloud-based solutions, CCEW operates entirely on your device:
  • Forms processed locally - all validation and processing happens on your device
  • PDFs generated locally - certificates created without uploading data anywhere
  • 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
Device information, location data, or browsing history

Privacy benefits for electricians

Regulatory compliance

Meet strict data protection requirements automatically:

Customer trust

Build stronger relationships through demonstrated privacy protection:
  • Transparency - customers can see their data stays on your device
  • Control - you decide what to do with customer information
  • Security - no risk of data breaches from external services
  • Compliance - meet or exceed customer privacy expectations

Technical security measures

Local encryption

When data is stored on your device, it’s protected by:
  • Browser security - modern browsers encrypt local storage automatically
  • Device security - protected by your device’s built-in security features
  • File system protection - saved files inherit your device’s security settings
  • No centralised targets - no servers or databases to be compromised

Secure processing

All certificate generation uses secure, local processing:
1

Form validation

Data validated using local rules without external communication.
2

PDF generation

Certificates created using local processing power and templates.
3

File handling

Downloads and saves use standard browser security protocols.
4

Email integration

Uses your device’s secure email client integration.

Data control options

Storage choices

You decide where and how to store customer information:
Use CCEW without saving any data - perfect for one-off jobs where you don’t need to retain information.

Deletion control

Complete control over data lifecycle:
  • Automatic clearing - forms clear after certificate generation if preferred
  • Manual deletion - remove saved information at any time
  • No residual data - clearing data removes it completely from your device
  • No recovery risk - deleted local data can’t be recovered by third parties

Best practices for privacy

Even with local processing, follow good data hygiene practices like regular backups and secure device management.

Device security

Enhance privacy protection with good device security:
  • Screen locks - protect access to your device and saved information
  • Regular updates - keep your browser and operating system current
  • Secure networks - use trusted internet connections when loading CCEW
  • Backup encryption - encrypt any backups you create of certificates

Sharing considerations

When sharing certificates with customers:
While CCEW keeps data local, be mindful of what information you include in certificates and emails sent to customers.
  • Minimal information - include only what’s required for compliance
  • Secure transmission - use secure email when sending certificates
  • Customer consent - ensure customers understand what information is included
  • Retention policies - follow your business policies for how long to keep certificates

Compliance documentation

Because CCEW processes everything locally, you can provide simple, accurate privacy statements to customers about how their data is handled.

Standard privacy statement

“Customer information is processed locally on our technician’s device using CCEW software. No customer data is transmitted to external servers or third parties. All information remains under our direct control throughout the certificate generation process.” This approach eliminates the need for complex privacy policies, data processing agreements, or ongoing compliance monitoring typically required with cloud-based solutions.
