Who we are
My Technician ("we", "us") publishes Windows utility apps on the Microsoft Store and operates the website at mytechnician.tech. For privacy questions, contact us at contact@mytechnician.tech.
This website
When you browse mytechnician.tech, we may collect standard web analytics through our hosting provider (Vercel), such as pages visited, approximate location derived from IP, browser type, and referral source. We use this information to understand traffic and improve the site. The site is also supported by advertising, and our advertising partners collect data as described under "Advertising" below. We do not sell your personal information. Our troubleshooting guides are free to read. We do not require an account to use the website, and we do not host user-generated content on the site.
Our Windows apps
Our apps are designed to run locally on your PC. They do not require a My Technician cloud account, and they do not upload your files, passwords, or scan results to our servers by default. Purchases are processed by Microsoft through the Microsoft Store; we receive only the information Microsoft provides to publishers (such as aggregate download and purchase data), not your payment card details. Each app’s Microsoft Store listing may include its own privacy disclosures required by Microsoft. If an app offers optional features that contact the network (for example, checking for updates), that behavior is described in the app or Store listing.
Cookies and similar technologies
The site uses cookies and similar technologies for basic functionality, analytics, and advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some site features, and blocking advertising cookies means you see less relevant ads rather than no ads.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display ads on this website. Google is a third-party vendor, and as such: • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. • You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads. • You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or https://www.youronlinechoices.com. • More detail on how Google uses data from sites that use its services is available at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Third-party ad networks may also use the DoubleClick DART cookie or similar identifiers. We do not have access to, and do not control, the cookies these vendors set, and we do not receive the personal information they collect.
Your privacy choices (EEA, UK, and California)
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we ask for your consent before personalised advertising cookies are set, using a consent message provided through Google's certified consent management platform. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the privacy settings link in that message. If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. You can exercise that right through the same consent message, or by emailing us at contact@mytechnician.tech. You can also limit advertising tracking at the browser level by blocking third-party cookies, or by using a Global Privacy Control signal where your browser supports it.
Third-party links
Our site links to the Microsoft Store, LinkedIn, and other external services. Those sites have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices.
Children
Our website and apps are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date below reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
