Privacy policy

The short version

We count visits so we can see which answers help people. We don't run ads, we don't sell or share data with advertisers, and we never need a password or any secret from you. You can switch analytics off at any time with Privacy choices at the bottom of every page.

What we use and why

• Privacy-respecting analytics count page views, how people arrive (search, social, direct) and general location at the country or region level. Advertising features and ad personalization are turned off. Visit-level data is kept for 14 months; after that only totals remain.
• Session insight tools, if we use them, show us in aggregate and without names where pages are hard to read or use. Everything typed into forms is masked and never recorded.
• Analytics load only after your privacy choice allows it.

None of these tools receives your name, email or anything you type into a form.

Searching the Fix Library

Search in the Fix Library runs in your browser, on a file we publish. What you type is not sent to us.

Sharing a fix file

If you use Submit a fix, we keep what you send: your name, your email if you gave one, the title, the problem, the fix file text and your consent. We use it to scan the file for safety, to have a person read it, and to contact you about it. If we publish it, we publish the file and the credit name you chose, never your email. If we decline it, we delete it within 90 days. Never put a password, key or other secret in a fix file. The scan rejects files that contain them.

Sign-ups

If we offer an email list, we keep your email address and which emails you open so we can send it and see what is useful. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe. We use an email service provider that processes the data only on our behalf. We never sell, rent or trade your email address.

Visitors in Europe and the UK

If your device is set to a European or UK time zone, we ask before turning on analytics. Nothing loads until you choose Allow.

Your choices and rights

• Use Privacy choices in the footer to turn analytics off or on. The choice is saved on your device.
• Ask us to see, correct or delete what we hold about you by writing to the address below. We answer within 30 days.
• Residents of California, the EU, the UK and other places with privacy laws have the rights those laws give, including access, correction, deletion and objection. We honor Global Privacy Control signals as an opt-out.
