Tech Info Central (“we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit https://techinfoc.com, why it is collected, how it may be used and shared, and the choices and rights available to you.

4. Legal Bases for Processing
Where UK or European data-protection law applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
Consent
We rely on consent before using non-essential analytics, advertising, media or similar technologies where consent is required.
You may withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time through the cookie-settings control on the website. Withdrawal does not affect processing that took place lawfully before consent was withdrawn.
Legitimate Interests
We may process information where reasonably necessary for our legitimate interests, including operating and improving the website, responding to genuine enquiries, moderating comments, preventing spam and maintaining website security.
We consider whether our interests are outweighed by your privacy rights before relying on this basis.
Legal Obligations
We may process or retain information where required by law, court order, regulatory requirement or other lawful request.
Legal Claims
We may use or retain information where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights or claims.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small files placed on your device by a website. Similar technologies may include local storage, tags and online identifiers.
Tech Info Central uses CookieYes to display its consent banner, manage visitor preferences and help control non-essential technologies where consent is required.
Cookies and similar technologies may include:
- Necessary cookies: Required for essential website operation, security and consent management.
- Functional cookies: Used for optional features and preferences.
- Analytics cookies: Used to understand website traffic and performance.
- Affiliate-related cookies: Used by third-party merchants to attribute qualifying purchases.
- Media cookies: Used when embedded videos or social-media content is loaded or played.
Necessary cookies may operate without consent where legally permitted. Non-essential cookies and similar technologies are controlled through the consent banner where required.
You can also restrict or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect website functionality.
6. Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use Tech Info Central.
Depending on your consent choices and our configuration, Google Analytics may process information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser information, referral sources and interactions with website content.
We do not intentionally send names, email addresses or contact-form messages to Google Analytics.
Where consent is required, Google Analytics is activated only after the relevant consent is provided. Analytics information is retained according to the retention settings configured in our Google Analytics account, normally for no longer than 14 months unless a longer period is lawful and necessary.
Google may process information outside your country under its own privacy terms and applicable safeguards.
7. Jetpack Stats
We may use Jetpack Stats, provided by Automattic, to understand general readership trends, including page views, posts viewed, referring sources and website performance.
Jetpack Stats may process technical information connected with visits to the website. Its use is subject to the applicable consent requirements and Automattic’s privacy terms.
8. Security and Spam Prevention
Our hosting, caching and security services may process technical information to:
- Deliver website pages.
- Maintain backups.
- Detect spam and malicious activity.
- Prevent attacks and abuse.
- Diagnose technical problems.
- Protect the availability and integrity of the website.
Wordfence or other security services may process IP addresses, requested URLs, browser information and request details to detect and block suspicious activity.
Server and security logs are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for security, technical or legal purposes.
No website, internet transmission or electronic-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. Affiliate Links and Commercial Disclosures
Tech Info Central participates in affiliate programmes, including the Amazon Associates Programme and other affiliate networks.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Some links on the website are affiliate links. If you select an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate links may allow a merchant or affiliate network to recognise that your visit originated from Tech Info Central. The merchant handles the transaction under its own privacy policy.
We do not receive your payment-card details, password, delivery address or complete purchase information.
Affiliate relationships do not determine our editorial conclusions. We aim to provide honest, useful and independent information.
Further information is available on our Affiliate Disclosure page.
10. Comments and Gravatar
When you leave a comment, we may collect the information entered in the comment form, together with your IP address and browser information. This helps us display comments, prevent spam and protect the website from abuse.
An anonymised string created from your email address may be sent to Gravatar, operated by Automattic, to determine whether you use the service.
If your comment is approved, your chosen profile image may appear publicly beside your comment.
Comments and associated metadata may remain available while the comment is published. Moderation records may be retained where reasonably necessary to prevent spam, abuse or repeated violations.
Anything you publish in a comment may be visible to other visitors. Do not include private information that you do not want to make public.
11. Contact-Form Enquiries
When you use our contact form, we collect the information needed to read and respond to your enquiry.
Contact-form messages are normally retained for up to 12 months after the matter has been resolved. They may be retained longer where reasonably necessary for security, record-keeping, dispute resolution or legal compliance.
12. Embedded Content
Articles may contain embedded content from providers such as YouTube or social-media platforms.
Embedded content may behave similarly to content viewed directly on the provider’s website. When it is loaded or played, the provider may receive your IP address and device information, use cookies or similar technologies, record interactions and associate activity with your account if you are signed in.
Where required, embedded media is restricted until the relevant consent is provided.
13. Who May Receive Information
Depending on how you use the website, information may be processed by:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers.
- Security, backup and spam-prevention providers.
- CookieYes, for consent management.
- Google, in connection with Analytics or YouTube.
- Automattic, in connection with Jetpack Stats or Gravatar.
- Amazon and other merchants when you select affiliate links.
- Social-media providers whose content you choose to load.
- Professional advisers where reasonably necessary.
- Courts, regulators or law-enforcement authorities where legally required.
We do not sell personal information for money.
14. International Data Transfers
Tech Info Central can be accessed internationally, and some service providers operate in multiple countries.
Personal information may therefore be processed outside the country where you live. Where UK or European data-protection law applies, relevant providers may rely on recognised safeguards such as adequacy decisions, approved contractual protections or applicable data-transfer frameworks.
15. How Long We Keep Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Our general approach is:
- Contact-form enquiries: Normally up to 12 months after resolution.
- Published comments: While the comment remains published or is needed for moderation.
- Security and spam records: For as long as reasonably necessary to prevent abuse or investigate incidents.
- Analytics information: According to the configured analytics retention period.
- Consent records: For as long as reasonably necessary to demonstrate and respect consent choices.
- Legal records: For the period required by law or reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Information may be deleted, anonymised or securely retained when the relevant period ends.
