Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This page explains what information TechTrace ("we", "this site") collects, how it's used, and the choices you have. If you have questions, contact us at the address at the bottom of this page.
Information we collect
We collect information in a few limited ways:
- Contact form — if you use the contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide, so we can respond to you.
- Comments — if you leave a comment on a video or tutorial, we collect the name and comment text you submit. Comments are publicly visible on the site.
- Basic usage data — like most websites, our server automatically logs standard technical information (such as IP address and browser type) for security and troubleshooting purposes.
We do not require visitor accounts, and we do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Cookies
This site uses a small number of cookies:
- A session cookie for site administration (only relevant if you're a site admin logging in).
- Cookies set by Google, described below, if advertising is enabled on this site.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
This site may display ads served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can find more detail on how Google uses data when you use our site or apps at Google's Partner Sites policy.
Third-party links
This site links to our YouTube channel, Facebook page, and Instagram profile. These are separate platforms with their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review — we're not responsible for their practices.
Data retention
Contact form submissions and comments are retained as long as reasonably necessary to operate the site, or until you request removal by contacting us.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
