Privacy Policy

Information involved in a website visit

When you access the website, the hosting and security systems may process technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages requested and visit times. These records help deliver pages, identify errors and protect the site from misuse.

If you use a product search or diagnostic-tool finder, the search terms and category or brand choices you enter are processed to show matching results. Whether those details are retained depends on the website's active tools and server configuration.

Cookies and browser storage

WordPress, security features and optional website tools may use cookies or browser storage for functions such as remembering preferences, maintaining site security or measuring performance. Features such as saved products, when enabled, may also store choices in your browser.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain storage may affect how some features work. Any nonessential analytics or marketing technologies should be disclosed and managed according to the site's actual setup and applicable requirements.

Amazon links and other websites

Some product links take visitors to Amazon. When you follow an affiliate link, the destination site may collect information, use cookies and associate the visit with an affiliate referral. Amazon's own privacy notice and policies govern activity on its website.

CarDiagnosticScanner does not run the Amazon checkout or receive your payment card information from those purchases. Other external websites linked in articles may also have their own privacy practices.

How information may be used

• To load pages and respond to product searches or filter selections.
• To protect the website, prevent misuse and investigate technical problems.
• To understand website performance or usage, if analytics are enabled.
• To maintain core functions such as preferences or saved items, when those features are enabled.

Service providers and retention

Hosting, caching, security, media delivery and analytics providers may process technical information on the website's behalf, depending on which services are active. Server logs and other technical records are retained according to the configuration and retention rules of the services being used.

Reasonable technical safeguards can help protect information, although no internet-based system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your privacy choices

You can use browser privacy settings to restrict cookies, clear stored website data and control certain tracking preferences. You can also review the privacy settings and policies of Amazon and any other external websites you visit.

Privacy rights depend on the laws that apply to your location and the information actually processed. This notice may be revised to reflect changes to website services or legal requirements.

Children's privacy

CarDiagnosticScanner is intended for people researching automotive equipment and is not directed toward children. We do not design its content or shopping links specifically for children.
