Privacy and data use

SpecAxle privacy policy

SpecAxle limits first-party collection, does not sell vehicle-tool inputs, and discloses the hosting, security, analytics, and advertising services that may process visitor data.

Privacy policy reviewed:

Information you provide

If you email SpecAxle or submit a correction, SpecAxle receives the information you include, such as your email address, message, and supporting evidence. Do not send a vehicle identification number, door-jamb photograph containing personal details, or other sensitive information unless it is necessary for the correction.

Calculator and picker data

Vehicle selections, towing weights, and tire sizes are processed to produce the requested result. SpecAxle’s product-usage log records only the tool name, allowlisted action, coarse input mode, result state, and time. It does not store the submitted numbers or vehicle choice, IP address, user agent, cookie identifier, name, or email address in that log.

Technical delivery and security data

The web host, WordPress, and content-delivery or security provider may process request information such as IP address, browser and device details, requested URL, timestamps, and security signals. This processing is used to deliver pages, prevent abuse, diagnose failures, and protect the service. Retention follows the operational and security settings of those systems.

Google AdSense and advertising cookies

When advertising is enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies, IP addresses, device identifiers, or similar technologies to serve, measure, limit, and protect ads. Depending on your region and choices, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services in Google’s partner-sites policy and manage Google ad personalization in Google Ads Settings.

For visitors in the United Kingdom, European Economic Area, and other regions where consent is required, SpecAxle will use a Google-certified consent platform before serving consent-dependent advertising. Withholding or withdrawing consent must remain available through the displayed privacy controls.

Cookies

WordPress may set essential cookies for administrators and authenticated sessions. Advertising and consent services may set additional cookies only when configured and permitted by the applicable consent choice. Browser controls can remove or block cookies, although some site or consent functions may then behave differently.

Sharing and sale

SpecAxle does not sell calculator inputs or correction messages. Data may be processed by service providers that host, secure, measure, or monetize the site; by authorities when legally required; or during a business transfer subject to appropriate safeguards. Advertisers do not receive authority over specification sources, values, or correction decisions.

Retention

Correction correspondence is kept only as long as needed to investigate, document, and defend the correction decision. Aggregate tool events and operational logs are retained according to product, security, and hosting needs. Source documents and verification lineage are retained as editorial records and do not intentionally contain visitor personal data.

Your choices and requests

You may use browser cookie controls, Google Ads Settings, and the site’s consent controls where available. To request access, correction, or deletion of personal information that SpecAxle controls, use the contact page. SpecAxle may need enough information to verify and fulfill the request.

Children

SpecAxle is a vehicle reference service for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. SpecAxle does not knowingly request personal information from children.
