Last updated: [update this date when you publish]
This Privacy Policy explains what information computingskill.com/ ("this site," "we," "us") collects when you visit, how it's used, and what choices you have. We've tried to write it in plain language rather than dense legal boilerplate. If anything here is unclear, you can reach out through the Contact page.
Information We Collect
We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. The main categories are:
- Contact form submissions. If you use the form on the Contact page, we receive whatever information you choose to include — typically your name or handle, an email address to reply to, and your message.
- Standard server log data. Like most websites, the server or hosting infrastructure behind this site automatically logs basic technical information for every visit, such as IP address, browser type and version, the page requested, referring page, and timestamp. This is standard web server behavior used for security, troubleshooting, and basic traffic monitoring, not information we actively collect through a form.
- Calculator inputs. The numbers and specs you enter into calculators on this site (like a CPU model, a file size, or a wattage figure) are used only to compute the result shown to you. We do not require an account to use any calculator.
Cookies
This site may use cookies for basic functionality (for example, remembering a display preference) and, if analytics tools are installed, to help understand aggregate traffic patterns across the site. We are not making a specific representation here about which cookies are active at any given moment — if a cookie or consent banner is shown to you on this site, that banner reflects the current, up-to-date list of cookies in use and your choices around them. Please refer to that banner, where present, for the most accurate and current information.
Analytics
We may use general-purpose website analytics tools to understand aggregate, anonymized-where-possible traffic patterns — things like which pages are popular or how visitors generally navigate the site — in order to improve the content and tools we provide. This policy is intentionally written in general terms because the specific analytics tool(s) in use, if any, can change over time. Any cookie or consent banner shown on the site takes precedence as the current source of truth on what’s active.
Advertising
computingskill.com/ does not currently claim to run any specific named advertising network on this site. If this site displays advertising in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to disclose the ad provider(s) used and how they may collect or use data (which commonly includes cookies and similar tracking technologies operated by the ad provider itself, not by us directly).
Third-Party Services
This site may rely on third-party infrastructure providers for hosting, content delivery, form handling, or similar backend functionality. These providers may process technical data (like IP addresses) as part of delivering the site to you, under their own privacy policies. We do not sell personal information to third parties, and we do not share contact form submissions with third parties except as needed to operate the site (for example, a form-processing or email-delivery service).
Log Data
Standard server logs (see “Information We Collect” above) are generally retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting purposes and are not used to build individual visitor profiles.
Personal Information
We do not require you to create an account or submit personal information to use any calculator or tool on this site. The only personal information we typically receive is what you voluntarily provide through the Contact form. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and this site is not directed at children.
Data Retention
Contact form submissions are kept only as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your message and address any follow-up, after which they may be deleted. Standard server logs are retained for a limited period consistent with normal web hosting practices.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through this site, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
If you’d like to know what information we hold about you (typically limited to a past contact form submission), or would like it deleted, you can request this through the Contact page. We’ll respond to reasonable requests to the extent we’re able, given the limited information we actually retain.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, including to reflect new analytics or advertising arrangements as noted above. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
Contact
Questions about this Privacy Policy, or requests related to your information, can be sent through the Contact page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this site sell my personal information?
No. We do not sell personal information collected through this site to third parties.
Does this site currently run ads or third-party analytics?
This policy is written to cover both cases, since that can change over time. If and when specific ad or analytics providers are active, they’ll be disclosed here and reflected in any cookie/consent banner shown on the site.
How do I ask for my data to be deleted?
Send a message through the Contact page requesting deletion of any information tied to a past submission, and we’ll act on reasonable requests.
