Welcome to TechCovert.com (“TechCovert,” “we,” “us”). We provide technology news, reviews, and guides (the “Service”). This Privacy Statement explains our practices regarding information collected from visitors (“you”) via our website (the “Website”). Protecting your privacy is important to us. Navigating our Website signifies your acceptance of the data handling procedures detailed herein. This privacy commitment is exclusively applicable to data obtained via this online platform.

- Personal Data: This is information you voluntarily provide that could identify you personally. Examples include your name or email address if you submit a comment, use our contact form, or subscribe to any newsletters we might offer.
- Usage Data: This is information gathered automatically as you browse. It includes technical details like your IP address (which might indicate general location), browser type, operating system, the pages you visited on TechCovert.com, time spent, and referring websites.

Sharing and Disclosure Practices
Your trust is vital. We do not sell your Personal Data. We only share information under specific, limited circumstances:
- With Essential Service Partners: We use third-party services for tasks like website hosting and analytics. These partners access only the data needed for their specific tasks and are obligated to maintain its confidentiality.
- For Legal Compliance: If required by law, subpoena, or valid legal process, we may disclose information.

Use of Cookies
TechCovert.com uses cookies – small data files set aside by your web browser. They support basic site functionality and help us gather anonymous Usage Data through analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the site. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though this might impact certain website features.
Data Security Measures
We employ reasonable security measures (like HTTPS) to protect the information we handle against unauthorized access or loss. However, no system is infallible. Transmitting information online always carries some risk, and while we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
Personal and Usage Data are stored solely for the period needed to achieve the objectives detailed in this policy or to comply with legal obligations; subsequently, the data will be securely removed or rendered unidentifiable.
