Privacy policy
Last updated:
Printer Paper Size (printerpapersize.com) is an independent paper-size reference and printing guide operated by Hafiz. This policy explains what information is processed when you visit the site, why it is processed, and how you can control it.
Summary
- You can browse every paper size and use every tool without an account.
- Paper searches, comparisons and unit conversions run in your browser and are not uploaded to us.
- We use a small amount of browser storage for your theme, preferred unit and cookie choice.
- With your consent, we use Google Analytics for aggregate traffic statistics and Google AdSense to display advertising.
- We do not sell personal information.
Who we are
The site is operated by Hafiz, based in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates. For any privacy request, email printerpapersize@gmail.com. We aim to reply within 30 days.
Information we process
Information stored in your browser
Your unit preference, light or dark theme and cookie choice are saved in your browser's local storage. This information stays on your device and is used only to render the site the way you selected. You can remove it at any time by clearing site data in your browser.
Contact messages
If you send a message through the contact form, the name, email address and message you enter are delivered to us through Web3Forms, our form processor. We use them only to answer your question or correction. Please do not send information you do not need to share.
Analytics
With your consent we use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages and guides are useful. Analytics data is aggregated and includes approximate location, device type, browser, referring page and interaction events. IP addresses are anonymised before storage. We do not use analytics to identify individual visitors.
Advertising
With your consent we use Google AdSense to display advertising. Google and its partners may use cookies, device identifiers and similar technologies to serve ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance and, where permitted, personalise advertising based on your previous visits to this and other websites.
- 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 visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet. This includes Google's DoubleClick cookie, which supports ad measurement and personalisation.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info and Your Online Choices.
- Where required by law, advertising and analytics storage remain disabled until you accept the consent banner. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer.
For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, consent for advertising is collected through a consent management platform that records your choice. Refusing consent does not remove ads; it means ads are served without personalised advertising cookies.
Hosting and security
The site is hosted by Vercel. Like any web host, Vercel processes technical request data such as IP address, requested URL, referrer and browser information to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. Server logs are retained for a short period for security and troubleshooting.
Embedded media and external services
Some troubleshooting guides embed YouTube videos using the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com domain. Loading an embedded video connects your browser to YouTube, which has its own privacy policy. The site also displays a DMCA protection badge served by dmca.com. External links in our guides are provided for reference; their operators decide how they handle data.
Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small file stored by your browser. We also use local storage, which works in a similar way but is not sent to our server. The categories we use are:
| Category | Purpose | Set by | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential storage | Theme, preferred unit, cookie choice | This website (local storage) | Always active |
| Analytics | Aggregate page views and site performance | Google Analytics 4 | Optional |
| Advertising | Ad delivery, frequency capping, measurement, personalisation | Google AdSense and advertising partners | Optional |
The cookie policy lists the specific cookies we expect to be set and how long they last.
Legal bases (GDPR, UK GDPR and Switzerland)
- Consent for analytics and advertising storage, and for personalised advertising.
- Legitimate interests for hosting, security and responding to messages you send us.
- Legal obligation where we must keep records or respond to lawful requests.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information, to restrict or object to processing, to withdraw consent, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. California residents may also request disclosure of categories of information collected and request deletion under the CCPA/CPRA. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising outside the consent you provide for advertising cookies.
To exercise a right, email printerpapersize@gmail.com. We may need to verify your request, for example by replying from the address that contacted us. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.
Retention
- Contact messages: up to 24 months, then deleted.
- Analytics: up to 14 months in Google Analytics.
- Consent records: up to 12 months, then we ask again.
- Server logs: short-lived retention determined by our host.
International transfers
Our providers, including Google and Vercel, may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, transfers rely on standard contractual clauses or an equivalent safeguard.
Children
The site is a reference for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We update this policy when our providers or practices change. The date at the top shows the latest revision. Material changes will be announced on this page or through the consent banner.
