Last updated: 2026-07-21

RepairMyOS ("we", "us", "our") publishes free, independent troubleshooting guides for Windows and Linux error codes at repairmyos.com. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit the site and how it is used.

Information We Collect

We do not require account creation, and we do not ask visitors to submit personal information to read any guide on this site.

Like most websites, our server and any analytics or advertising tools we use automatically collect limited technical data when you visit, which may include your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring URL, and approximate location derived from your IP address.

If you contact us by email, we collect whatever information you choose to include in that message (e.g. your email address and message content) solely to respond to you.

Cookies & Similar Technologies

This site may use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) for basic functionality, to understand how the site is used, and โ€” where enabled โ€” to serve advertising.

If we display advertising through Google AdSense, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, and you can learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. You may opt out of the use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.

Analytics

We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic patterns and improve our content. These services may set their own cookies and collect data as described in their respective privacy policies.

Advertising

This site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and/or other ad networks once approved. These networks may use non-personally-identifying information (and, where you have consented, personally-identifying information) collected through cookies to serve ads that are more relevant to you.

We do not control the content of third-party advertisements and are not responsible for the privacy practices of advertisers or ad networks.

Third-Party Links

Our guides may link to official vendor resources (for example, Microsoft or Canonical support pages) or software download pages. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Children's Privacy

RepairMyOS is a general-audience technical reference site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Your Choices

You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Doing so may affect how some parts of the site function. You can also manage ad personalization directly through Google Ads Settings.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
