Privacy Policy

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to deliver, protect, and optimize our services:

• Direct Communications: When you send a message through our Contact Support form or email us directly, we receive your name, email address, message contents, and any attachments you provide.
• Log Files: Like standard web hosts, our server creates automated log records. This includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and click counts. These logs are non-personally identifiable and used solely for technical diagnostics and DDoS defense.
• Aggregated Usage Analytics: We measure anonymized site traffic metrics (e.g. popular calculator categories) to improve navigational layout and tool performance.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use standard HTTP cookies to remember user preferences (such as light/dark mode settings or preferred measurement units like Metric vs. Imperial).

You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser settings. For detailed cookie management options, refer to your browser's help documentation.

4. Third-Party Services & Advertising

We may utilize trusted third-party partners for analytics, content delivery networks (CDNs), and affiliate links:

• Amazon Associates & Affiliates: When you click on an external product link (e.g. recommended OBD2 scanners or tools), the destination merchant may place a tracking cookie to attribute qualifying purchases. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
• Analytics Providers: Third-party analytics services employ anonymized tracking scripts to report traffic volume without identifying individual users.

5. GDPR Privacy Rights (EEA & UK Users)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, you are entitled to specific rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal data collected.
• Request deletion of any collected personal information.

7. Children's Information (COPPA)
