Terms of Service
These terms describe the current Hex Labs website. Hex Labs is operated by Adam Johnston as an individual based in Scotland, United Kingdom.
About the site
Hex Labs provides browser tools, guides and self-directed learning about ECU data, hexadecimal values and synthetic examples. The site currently provides no visitor accounts, paid features or working contact form.
Using tools and learning resources
Use the site lawfully and follow the instructions and limits shown with each feature. Learning material is educational, not vehicle-specific instruction. The tools do not establish ECU identity, vehicle compatibility, calibration correctness, emissions compliance, or safe real-world results.
- Map Finder returns heuristic candidates, not confirmed maps.
- Checksum Calculator performs generic calculations; it does not validate arbitrary ECU checksums.
- The simulator uses synthetic examples and simplified arithmetic, not vehicle predictions.
- VIN decoding has limited local data; an optional lookup contacts NHTSA vPIC directly and cannot establish ownership or vehicle history.
Check that you have the right to use any data you choose to enter. Do not treat tool output or lesson completion as professional advice or evidence that a vehicle change is compatible or safe.
Your data and external services
Some preferences, progress, inputs and profiles are stored in browser local storage as described in the Privacy Policy and in relevant tool notices. The optional VIN lookup is a direct request to NHTSA vPIC. Google Analytics is optional and requires affirmative analytics consent on the production site.
Availability and external links
Tools, learning material and site links may change. External services and websites are operated under their own terms and privacy information. Hex Labs does not control their availability or content.
Advertising
No advertisements are currently loaded or displayed by this site. Advertising may be considered in the future; if introduced, the relevant privacy disclosures and consent experience will be updated before ad requests are enabled.
Contact
The contact form is unavailable. For public enquiries or privacy requests, email mail@adamj.link. See the Contact page.
