Introduction

This privacy notice explains how appliance-manual-locator-hub.hub2.day (“ManualMatch: Appliance Manual Locator”, “the site”, or “we”) handles information when you use our free tool for finding appliance user manuals and troubleshooting tips. We aim to be clear, practical, and respectful of your privacy.

Information We Collect

We collect only what is needed to run the site and keep it secure:

• Browser-local inputs: Brand and model numbers you enter are processed in your browser to look up manuals. We do not permanently store these searches on our servers.
• Contact email: If you email hello@appliance-manual-locator-hub.hub2.day, we keep your message and email address only to respond and, if needed, to follow up.
• Server and security logs: Like most websites, we automatically receive technical information such as IP address, browser type, referring pages, date/time of access, and error reports. These logs help us detect abuse, protect the site, and understand general usage patterns.
• Cookies and local storage: We may use cookies or browser storage for basic functionality (for example, remembering your last search) and for advertising and analytics as described below.

Google AdSense and Advertising

This site uses Google AdSense (including Auto ads) to display advertisements. Google and its partners may:

• Place and read cookies or use similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites.
• Collect information such as your IP address, browser and device details, and general usage data to personalize ads and measure performance.

You can learn more about how Google uses data and manage your ad settings at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

GDPR / EEA / UK Consent

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or another region with similar laws:

• We rely on legitimate interests for security logs and basic site operation.
• Where required, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies, including those used by Google AdSense and analytics.
• You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using any consent controls we provide.

CCPA / CPRA-Style Choices

If you are a California resident (or in a region with similar rights), you may have the right to:

• Request information about the categories of personal information collected and the purposes.
• Request deletion of certain personal information we hold.
• Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, to the extent applicable.

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@appliance-manual-locator-hub.hub2.day. We will verify your request as needed and respond within the time required by law.

Service Providers

We may share limited information with trusted service providers that help us operate the site, such as:

• Hosting and infrastructure providers.
• Advertising partners like Google AdSense.
• Analytics or error-reporting services.

These providers are expected to use your information only to perform services on our behalf and to protect it appropriately.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary:

• Server and security logs are typically retained for a limited period (for example, a few months) unless needed for ongoing security or legal reasons.
• Contact emails are kept as long as needed to handle your request and for reasonable follow-up.
• Advertising and analytics data are retained according to the policies of the relevant providers (for example, Google).

Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@appliance-manual-locator-hub.hub2.day so we can take appropriate steps.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

This site may link to external websites, such as manufacturer sites that host user manuals. We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review their policies before providing personal information.

International Processing

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. By using the site, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to and processed in these locations, which may have different data protection laws.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
