Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We may collect information you submit directly, including your name, email address, company details, and the technical information you share in PCB, PCBA, SMT, or product enquiries.

We may also collect limited technical data automatically, such as browser type, referral source, page visits, device information, IP address, and cookie-based analytics used to improve website performance and understand how visitors navigate our PCB, PCBA, and hardware content.

Contact form and email data

If you contact Elecrow through email or a contact mechanism, we may keep the message and its metadata so we can respond to your PCB, PCBA, SMT, or hardware request and maintain service history.

Cookies, analytics, and similar technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used for basic site functionality, traffic analytics, performance optimization, security, and advertising measurement across product pages, article pages, privacy documentation, and sitemap resources.

Advertising, third-party cookies, and web beacons

Elecrow may display third-party advertising on this website, including ads served by Google AdSense and related Google advertising services.

Third parties, including Google and other advertising or analytics partners, may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, clear GIFs, or similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites. That information may be used to deliver advertisements about goods and services that may interest you, measure ad performance, limit how often you see an ad, and understand how visitors interact with our PCB, PCBA, SMT, and hardware content.

Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to elecrow.net or other websites. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads, and may learn more about how Google uses data when you use partner sites at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Because third-party advertisers and ad networks operate independently, their use of cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies is governed by their own privacy policies. Elecrow does not control those third-party technologies after they are set by advertising partners.

What advertising partners may process

Depending on the partner and your browser settings, advertising partners may process device identifiers, cookie IDs, approximate location derived from IP address, browser type, pages viewed, ad interactions, and referral information.

Your advertising choices

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, use industry opt-out tools where available, and manage Google ad personalization preferences. Blocking advertising cookies may still allow non-personalized ads to appear, and some site features may work less effectively.

How we use your information

We use collected information to respond to enquiries, improve PCB and PCBA content relevance, maintain site security, understand which SMT and hardware resources are most useful, support internal linking and search navigation, and operate or measure advertising where enabled.

We do not sell personal information submitted through this website. We may use service providers for hosting, caching, analytics, spam protection, content delivery, or advertising where reasonably necessary to operate the site.

Your choices and contact

You may request access, correction, or deletion of information you have submitted to this website by emailing allen@elecrow.net.

If you have concerns about privacy, cookies, advertising technologies, analytics, or how your PCB, PCBA, SMT, or product enquiry data is handled, please contact us directly.
