Privacy policy

What we collect

Nothing, unless you choose to send it. There is no account, no newsletter and no comment box. The one place that asks for anything is the contact form, and it asks only for a name, an email address and a message so that a correction can be answered. Payment details are never asked for because nothing here is for sale.

What the contact form collects goes straight to the two people who maintain the site, by email, and is not stored in a database, added to any list or passed to anyone else.

The web server keeps ordinary request logs — IP address, browser type, pages requested, timestamps — the way nearly every site does. They exist to keep the site running and secure, and they rotate out automatically.

Analytics

This site does not currently run an analytics script. If that changes, this page will say which one and how to opt out, before it ships.

What your browser stores

Your filter selections are kept in your browser's session storage so that returning from a printer's page puts you back on the list you were looking at. That data never leaves your browser and is cleared when you close the tab. Nothing else is stored.

Links to other sites

Almost none. There are no retailer links, no affiliate links and no trackers embedded from anywhere else — nothing here earns a commission and no link is a paid placement. The one outbound link on the site is a citation: the pages that mark a printer as committed to its maker's own supplies link to HP's own programme page, because a claim like that has to name its source. The URLs the specifications and consumable prices were read from are recorded in the project repository rather than linked from the pages. Once you follow that one link, HP's privacy policy applies.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect any information from them.

Contact

Questions about this policy, or a figure on the site that looks wrong, can go through the contact form or straight to contact@theprinterlist.com.
