This policy complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the UK Data Protection Act, and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies (web beacons, pixels, local storage) to operate the Site, remember your preferences, measure traffic, and serve advertising. A detailed list of the cookies we and our partners use is available in our Cookie Policy.
For visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we display a consent banner before setting non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time via the "Manage" link in the banner or through your browser settings.
4. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising
We participate in Google AdSense, which displays ads provided by Google and its partners. Google and its partners use cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com.
- You may opt out of all third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info/choices.
- Google's advertising privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
5. Vercel Analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics to collect aggregated, privacy-friendly statistics about Site traffic. Vercel Analytics does not use cross-site tracking cookies and does not build individual user profiles. Data collected includes country,referrer, path, device type, and event counts. Read Vercel's privacy policy at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
6. Data Sharing and Service Providers
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the following categories of service providers who help us operate the Site:
- Google LLC — advertising (AdSense) and analytics
- Vercel Inc. — website hosting and traffic analytics
- Zoho Corporation — email communication
- Spaceship — domain registration and DNS
These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy and data protection agreements. We never sell, rent, or trade your data with third parties for marketing purposes beyond the advertising described in this policy.
7. International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where data is transferred from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement.
8. Data Retention
We retain usage and analytics data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Aggregated and anonymized data may be retained indefinitely. Advertising data is retained according to each ad vendor's own retention schedule.
9. Your Rights — GDPR (EEA, UK, Switzerland)
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the following rights:
- Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
- Erasure — request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
- Restriction — request that we limit processing of your data
- Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing
- Withdraw consent — at any time, without affecting processing already carried out
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@howtoprintfromiphone.com. We respond within 30 days. If you believe we have not handled your request properly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
10. Your Rights — CCPA / CPRA (California)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect and how it is used
- Delete your personal information (with some exceptions)
- Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for advertising purposes
- Non-discrimination — we will not treat you differently for exercising these rights
To submit a request, email hello@howtoprintfromiphone.com. We do not sell personal data as defined by the CCPA, but the personalized advertising described in Section 4 may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under California law. You can opt out via the "Manage" link in our cookie banner or at aboutads.info/choices.
11. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is currently no industry consensus on how to interpret DNT, we do not currently alter our practices in response to it. You can control cookies and tracking through the methods described in our Cookie Policy.
12. Children's Privacy (COPPA)
Our Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at hello@howtoprintfromiphone.com and we will delete it.
13. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
14. Third-Party Links
Our Site contains links to third-party websites (such as Apple, HP, Canon, Epson) for reference only. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.
