Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy policy explains how vintage-electronics-repair-or-recycle.hub2.day handles information when you visit or interact with this site. The site is a focused, independent web utility that helps people decide whether old electronic devices are worth repairing, selling for parts, or recycling. We aim to be transparent about what data is collected, why, and what choices you have.

Information We Collect

We collect limited information to operate the site, keep it secure, and show relevant ads. The categories below describe what may be collected and why.

Browser-Local Project Inputs

The decision guides and calculators on this site may let you enter details about your devices (such as model, age, condition, or estimated repair cost). Where possible, these inputs are processed in your browser and are not sent to our servers. If a feature requires server processing, we will make that clear before submission.

Contact Email

If you contact us at hello@vintage-electronics-repair-or-recycle.hub2.day, we will use your email address and message content solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact emails to marketing lists or share them with advertisers.

Server and Security Logs

Our hosting provider may automatically log technical information such as IP address, browser type, referring pages, date/time of access, and pages visited. These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and basic analytics. Logs are retained only as long as reasonably necessary and are not used to build individual profiles.

Cookies and Local Storage

This site may use cookies and similar technologies (including local storage) for:

• essential site functionality (such as remembering your preferences),
• analytics to understand general usage patterns, and
• advertising, including personalized and non-personalized ads.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some features may not work correctly if cookies are disabled.

Google AdSense and Advertising

This site uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites. These technologies may collect information such as:

• your IP address,
• browser and device information,
• pages you view and interactions with ads, and
• approximate location derived from your IP address.

Google may use this information to:

• serve relevant ads on this site and across the web,
• measure ad performance, and

• your consent (for non-essential cookies and personalized advertising),
• legitimate interests (for security, basic analytics, and site operation), or
• performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps (when you contact us).

Where required, we will obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies or processing data for personalized advertising. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences or contacting us.

• know what personal information is collected and how it is used,
• request deletion of your personal information,
• opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and

Service Providers

We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the site, such as:

• hosting and infrastructure providers,
• analytics services, and
• advertising partners like Google.

These providers are contractually required to use data only for the purposes we specify and to maintain appropriate security measures.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. For example:

• contact emails are retained only as long as needed to respond and maintain a reasonable record,
• server logs are retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting, and
• cookie data is retained according to the cookie's expiration or until you clear it.

When data is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymized.

This site is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us at hello@vintage-electronics-repair-or-recycle.hub2.day and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

This site may be accessed from outside the country where it is hosted. If you access the site from outside the hosting jurisdiction, your information may be transferred to and processed in a different country. By using the site, you acknowledge this transfer. We rely on appropriate safeguards where required by law.
