Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information TechWinks collects when you visit https://techwinks.co.uk, how it is used, and the choices you have. TechWinks is a practical technology publication that publishes step-by-step guides for Windows, Android, Apple and iOS, AI tools, and cybersecurity.

Information you send us

Contact form: when you use the contact form on this site, you send your name, email address, and message. That information is sent to the site team so your message can be read and answered. Messages are kept only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry.

Comments: if you leave a comment on a post or page where comments are open, the information you enter in the comment form, your IP address, and your browser details are collected so the comment can be displayed and moderated. Comments are held for moderation and are not published until they are approved.

Cookies, caching, and hosting

TechWinks uses caching to load pages faster. Cached copies of public pages may be stored temporarily on the server. The site does not use Google Analytics, and it does not run advertising or third-party tracking on its pages.

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name and email address in cookies so you do not have to enter them again next time. As with most websites, the hosting server may also keep standard technical logs, such as IP addresses, for a short time to operate and protect the site.

Embedded content

If a guide or page includes embedded content from another website, such as a video, that content behaves as if you had visited the other website directly, and it may collect data about you under that website’s own privacy policy.

How long we keep information

Contact-form messages are kept only as long as needed to deal with the enquiry. Comments and their details are kept for as long as the comment remains published, unless you ask for the comment to be removed.

Your rights

You can ask what personal information TechWinks holds about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or object to its use. To make a request, please use the contact form and describe what you are asking about.

If you have questions about this policy, please use the contact form. This policy may be updated when the site changes; the updated policy will be published on this page.
