Data you give us. If you use the contact form we receive your name, email address, subject and message. If you leave a comment we receive your name, email address, optional website, the comment, your IP address and browser user agent. Your email address is never published.
Data collected automatically. Our hosting provider keeps server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested, date and time) for security and technical operation.

Advertising and affiliate links. Google AdSense uses cookies and similar identifiers to show and measure ads (see section 5). When you click an affiliate link, such as a link to Amazon, the retailer may set a cookie to record that the visit came from this Website (see section 6).
We do not knowingly collect sensitive data, and the Website is not directed at children under 16.

6. Affiliate links (Amazon Associates and others)
BackupPowerPlain is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. When you click an affiliate link and buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We do not receive your name, address or payment details from the retailer.
