What Data I Collect & Why

What I may collect

  • Your name, email address, phone number, and the details you submit through contact or newsletter forms.
  • Basic information about the device, account, network, or setup you want help with, if you share it with me during support.
  • Simple notes about the problem, what was tried, and what was fixed so I can follow up and finish the job properly.
  • Basic server or website logs that may be created automatically by the hosting platform for security and site performance.

Why I collect it

  • To reply to your message or support request.
  • To troubleshoot your device, service, or setup more effectively.
  • To schedule work, provide follow-up help, or complete a job you asked for.
  • To send Helpful Hints updates if you signed up for them.
  • To keep the site and forms functioning safely.

What I do not do

  • I do not sell your information.
  • I do not rent your information.
  • I do not collect extra personal data just for fun.
  • I do not use your information for unrelated marketing nonsense.

How long I keep it

As a general rule, customer messages, device notes, and support details are purged within 30 days after the work or conversation wraps up.

If there is an active follow-up, scheduling issue, billing need, or legal reason to keep something a little longer, I may keep only what is necessary for that purpose.

If you sign up for the newsletter, your email stays on that list until you unsubscribe or ask me to remove it.

How I protect it

I keep things simple: access is limited, I do not share information casually, and I only keep what is useful for the job. If I need device or account information to help you, I treat it like something private, because it is.

Your choices

  • You can ask what information I have from a recent support request.
  • You can ask me to delete information that is not needed for an active job or required record.
  • You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time.
