This Privacy Policy explains what information Error Code Home (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit errorcodehome.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information you give us
- Emails: If you email us at contact@errorcodehome.com, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and your message. We use this only to reply to you.
- Comments: If you leave a comment, we collect the name, email address, and comment you enter, plus your IP address and browser details to help detect spam. Your email address is never shown publicly. An anonymized string created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. See the Gravatar privacy policy.
Information collected automatically
- Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site, such as pages visited, time on page, country, device and browser type. Google Analytics uses cookies. We do not use it to identify you personally. Learn how Google uses this data, or opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Security and server logs: Our hosting provider and security tools automatically record technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested. We use this to keep the site secure, for example, to block repeated failed login attempts and malicious traffic, and to fix technical problems.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. We use analytics cookies from Google Analytics, as described above. If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name and email in cookies so you do not have to type them again; these last for one year. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the site will still work.
Advertising and affiliate links
We may display ads from third-party advertising networks and include affiliate links, for example, to replacement parts. If we earn a commission when you buy through these links, it does not cost you anything extra. Advertising partners and affiliate programs may use cookies to measure clicks and show relevant ads. We will update this policy with the names of these partners when they are added.
Embedded content
Some guides may include embedded content such as YouTube videos. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website, and that website may collect data about you.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the services that help us run this site, such as our hosting provider, Google Analytics, and our backup service, and only as needed to operate the site or when required by law.
How long we keep information
- Emails: as long as needed to answer and follow up on your message.
- Comments: approved comments stay on the site unless you ask us to remove them.
- Analytics data: kept according to our Google Analytics data retention settings.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, for example, the EU, UK or California, you may have the right to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to how we use it. To make a request, email contact@errorcodehome.com.
Children’s privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Security
We use HTTPS encryption, regular backups, and other security measures to protect this site. No website can guarantee complete security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last changed.
