Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how TechToolHub ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit techtoolhub-phi.vercel.app and any associated domain (the "Site"). By using the Site you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

Information you give us. If you use our contact form or email us, we receive your name, email address and the content of your message. We use it only to reply to you.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics tools collect standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, device, referring page, pages visited and the date and time of your visit. This helps us understand which content is useful and keep the Site secure.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We and our partners use them to:

• remember preferences such as light or dark mode;
• measure traffic and how the Site is used (analytics);
• show and measure advertising.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features may not work correctly without them.

Advertising: Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners act as third-party vendors and use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
• Learn more about how Google uses data at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are shown a consent message (provided through Google's certified consent management platform) before personalised ads or non-essential cookies are used.

Analytics

We may use Google Analytics or a similar privacy-friendly analytics service to understand aggregate usage. These services may set cookies and collect the technical data described above. You can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Affiliate links

Some links on the Site are affiliate links. When you click one, the retailer or software vendor may set a cookie to attribute a purchase to us. We do not receive your personal or payment information from these partners.

How we use information

We use information to operate and improve the Site, respond to messages, analyse traffic, show relevant ads, prevent abuse and meet legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.

Sharing

We share information only with service providers that help us run the Site (such as hosting, analytics, advertising and form-handling providers), when required by law, or to protect our rights and the safety of our users.

Data retention

Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to handle your request. Analytics and advertising data is retained according to the providers' own policies.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU/UK or the CCPA/CPRA in California) you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.
