This Privacy Policy explains what information Cost of Repairs (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects when you visit costofrepairs.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have.
Who is responsible for your data
The Site is operated by Ignacio Lopez Mollinedo, based in Spain, who acts as the data controller. You can contact us about privacy at tecmollicode@gmail.com.
Information we collect
- Information you send us. If you email us, we receive your name, email address, and whatever you include in your message.
- Usage data. Like most websites, our server and our analytics tools record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, referring page, pages viewed, and the time of your visit.
- Cookies and similar technologies. We and our partners use cookies, pixels, and local storage as described below.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, we do not ask you to create an account, and comments are turned off.
How we use information
- To run, secure, and improve the Site.
- To understand which guides are useful and which need updating.
- To reply to your messages and correction requests.
- To show advertising that keeps the Site free.
- To comply with legal obligations.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use strictly necessary cookies to run the Site, and, where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting analytics or advertising cookies. You can change your choice at any time through the cookie banner or settings link on the Site, and you can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
Advertising: Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. To learn more, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Analytics: Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited and time spent on the Site and reports aggregated statistics to us. You can prevent Google Analytics from using your data by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Affiliate links
Some pages may contain affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, the retailer may set a cookie so we can earn a commission. This does not change the price you pay.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only with service providers that help us run the Site, such as our hosting company, analytics provider, and advertising partners, and when required by law. Advertising cookies set by our partners may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under some U.S. state laws; see “Your rights” below to opt out.
How long we keep information
We keep emails and correction requests for as long as needed to respond and maintain a record of changes, and no longer than 24 months unless the law requires otherwise. Analytics data is kept according to the retention settings of our analytics provider, currently 14 months.
Your rights
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. Our legal bases for processing are your consent (analytics and advertising cookies), our legitimate interest in running and securing the Site, and compliance with legal obligations. You may also complain to your local data protection authority; in Spain, this is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (www.aepd.es).
If you are a resident of California or another U.S. state with a privacy law, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising. You can opt out of personalized ads through the cookie settings on the Site or the links in the advertising section above. We honor Global Privacy Control signals where required by law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
To exercise any of these rights, email tecmollicode@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.
Children’s privacy
The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use reasonable technical measures, including encrypted HTTPS connections, to protect the Site. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International transfers
Our service providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, these transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last changed.
