DIP Switch Calculator (“DIP Switch Calculator,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting information that may be collected when you visit or use https://dipswitchcalculator.com/ (the “Website”).

This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use and protect it, when we may share it, how cookies and similar technologies are used, and the choices and rights that may be available to you.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website may use cookies, local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files or pieces of information that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.

We may use different categories of cookies and similar technologies, including:

Strictly Necessary Technologies

These technologies are necessary for the Website to operate, maintain security, remember certain technical settings, or provide a service specifically requested by a visitor.

Because these technologies may be necessary for Website functionality, they may not always be disabled through our cookie-consent system.

Preference or Functional Technologies

These technologies may allow the Website to remember certain preferences or settings and provide enhanced functionality.

Analytics or Statistics Technologies

Where enabled, analytics technologies may help us understand how visitors use the Website, including which pages are visited, how visitors navigate the Website, and whether pages or features are functioning properly.

Analytics technologies may be provided by third parties.

Advertising and Marketing Technologies

The Website may display advertising provided by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense.

Advertising providers may use cookies, identifiers, pixels, or similar technologies to deliver advertisements, measure advertising performance, limit repetitive advertisements, or, where permitted, provide personalized or interest-based advertising.

The availability and behavior of particular advertising technologies may change over time.

Google Advertising

The Website may use Google AdSense or other Google advertising technologies to display advertisements.

Third-party advertising providers, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about a user’s visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertising, measure advertisements, prevent fraud, or personalize advertising where permitted.

Your interactions with Google’s advertising services are subject to Google’s applicable policies and settings.

You may be able to manage personalized advertising through Google’s advertising settings. You may also be able to control certain advertising cookies through available browser, device, or consent-management settings.

For more information, please review Google’s applicable privacy and advertising documentation.

We do not control the information-collection practices of Google or other independent advertising providers. Their collection and use of information is governed by their own policies.

Analytics

We may use third-party analytics services to understand Website traffic, performance, and usage.

Analytics providers may collect information such as IP address, browser and device information, pages viewed, approximate location, referral information, and interactions with the Website.

Analytics data helps us understand which content and features are useful, identify technical problems, and improve the Website.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential analytics technologies will be used only after obtaining the appropriate consent.

Cookie Consent and Your Choices

The Website may provide a cookie-consent mechanism that allows you to accept, reject, or manage certain categories of non-essential cookies.

Your choices may be stored so that the Website can remember your preferences.

You can also manage cookies through your browser or device settings. Depending on your browser, you may be able to block, delete, or restrict cookies.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect Website functionality or prevent some features from operating as intended.

Where required by applicable law, you may withdraw consent for non-essential processing through the available consent-management controls.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information for money.

We may disclose information to third parties in limited circumstances, including:

Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may contain links to websites, services, documentation, or resources operated by third parties.

These third-party websites are not controlled by DIP Switch Calculator.

If you follow an external link, the third party may collect information from you according to its own privacy policy and terms.

We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third-party website before providing personal information.

Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

The retention period may depend on:

  • Dispute resolution;
  • Record-keeping requirements; and

For example, correspondence submitted by email may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the inquiry, maintain appropriate records, resolve disputes, or comply with legal obligations.

Cookie and analytics retention periods may be determined by the particular third-party service and technology involved.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, misuse, or destruction.

However, no website, internet transmission, electronic storage system, or security measure can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or through the Website.

International Data Transfers

DIP Switch Calculator may use service providers or technology providers that process information in countries other than the country where you reside.

As a result, information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions that may have different data-protection laws from those in your jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards or other legally recognized mechanisms will be used for international transfers.

Legal Bases for Processing

If applicable privacy law requires us to identify a legal basis for processing personal data, our legal bases may include:

  • Consent: where you have provided consent for a particular processing activity, such as certain non-essential cookies or personalized advertising;
  • Legitimate interests: where processing is reasonably necessary for Website operation, security, analytics, fraud prevention, improvement, or other legitimate business purposes, provided those interests are not overridden by applicable privacy rights;
  • Contract or requested service: where processing is necessary to provide a service or respond to a request you make;
  • Legal obligations: where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law; and
  • Other legally permitted grounds: where recognized by the privacy laws applicable to you.

The applicable legal basis may vary depending on the processing activity and your location.
