This policy explains what information RadioRadar.net (“RadioRadar”, “we”) collects when you use the English version of the site, why we collect it, who we share it with and how you can ask us to delete it. We collect as little as we can: you can read datasheets, articles and service manuals without creating an account or giving us your name.
Information we collect
When you browse the site
- Server logs. Like any web server, ours records the IP address, browser type, requested page, referring page and time of each request. We use the logs to keep the site running, investigate errors and block abuse. Logs are kept for a limited period and are not used to identify individual visitors.
- Cookies. See Cookies below.
When you post a comment
- Name you enter. It is shown publicly next to your comment, so you can use a nickname.
- Comment text and date. Shown publicly on the page.
- Email address, if the form asks for it and you choose to provide it. It is never published. We use it only to confirm the address and to notify you about replies to your comment if you ask for that. Every notification email contains a one-click unsubscribe link.
- Technical data for spam protection: a one-way hash of your IP address (not the address itself) and your browser’s user-agent string. They are never shown on the site.
Comments are moderated. We may hold, edit for formatting or remove comments that contain spam, advertising, personal data of other people or abusive content.
When you contact us
The Contacts form asks for your name, email address, subject and message. We use them only to answer you and keep the correspondence for as long as it is needed to deal with your request.
