Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy policy explains how vintage-tech-compatibility-checker.hub2.day (“the site,” “we,” or “our”) handles information when you visit or use our service. The site is a focused, independent web utility that helps you find compatible cables, adapters, power supplies, and accessories for vintage and discontinued technology devices.

We aim to keep the site lightweight and practical. This policy describes what data may be collected, how it is used, and the choices available to you.

Identity of the Site Operator

The site is operated publicly under the domain vintage-tech-compatibility-checker.hub2.day. When this policy refers to “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to the operator of that domain.

Information You Provide Directly

We may collect information you provide directly, such as:

  • search queries and filters you enter on the site (for example, device names, model numbers, connector types, or accessory categories);
  • any optional project-related inputs you save or submit while using the site;
  • information you include in messages sent to hello@vintage-tech-compatibility-checker.hub2.day.

We do not require an account, login, or personal profile to use the core compatibility search features of the site.

Browser-Local Inputs and Saved Projects

The site may use browser-local storage mechanisms (such as cookies, localStorage, or similar technologies) to remember your preferences or in-progress project inputs. Examples include:

  • recently searched devices or filters;
  • temporary project lists of devices and accessories you are checking;
  • interface preferences such as recently viewed categories.

This information is stored primarily on your own device and is used to improve convenience and continuity while you browse. You can usually clear this data through your browser settings or site data controls.

Server and Security Logs

When you access the site, our servers may automatically record limited information for security and operational purposes. This may include:

  • IP address;
  • date and time of access;
  • requested URLs and query parameters;
  • referrer information;
  • browser and operating system type;
  • error or access logs.

We use these logs to maintain site security, diagnose issues, and understand general usage patterns. Log data is treated as confidential and is not sold.

We use cookies and similar technologies for:

  • basic site functionality;
  • remembering your preferences;

Some cookies are necessary for the site to work properly. Others are used only with your consent where required by law.

This site uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to personalize ads based on your visits to this site and other sites.

Google may collect information such as:

Where required, we ask for your consent before enabling non-essential advertising cookies.

GDPR, EEA, and UK Consent

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or another region with similar privacy laws, we rely on appropriate legal bases to process personal data. For non-essential cookies and advertising, we generally rely on your consent.

You may:

  • know what personal information is collected and how it is used;
  • request deletion of certain personal information;
  • opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, where applicable.

We do not sell personal information. If any data is shared with service providers for operational purposes, it is limited and used only to provide or secure the service. To make a request, contact hello@vintage-tech-compatibility-checker.hub2.day.

Service Providers

We may use third-party service providers to operate, protect, and improve the site. These may include hosting, security, analytics, and advertising providers. Such providers may process data on our behalf, but only as needed to perform their services and in accordance with this policy.

We do not authorize service providers to use your information for their own marketing or unrelated purposes.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

  • contact messages: retained as long as needed to respond and to maintain a reasonable record of the conversation;
  • server and security logs: retained for a limited period for security and operational purposes;
  • browser-local data: retained on your device until you clear it or until it expires.

When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it within a reasonable timeframe.

Children’s Privacy

The 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 we become aware that a child has provided personal information, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we handle. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the site with that understanding.

Third-Party Links

The site may link to third-party websites, such as manufacturer pages, reference resources, or retailers. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

International Processing

Information collected through the site may be processed in countries other than your own, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection. By using the site, you acknowledge this. We take reasonable steps to ensure that any processing remains consistent with this policy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
