Privacy Policy

Overview

ErrorCodesIndex.com is a static reference website. The site does not provide user accounts, subscriptions, or logins. We do not process payments. Most visitors can read pages without providing any information directly.

Like any website delivered through modern hosting infrastructure, limited technical data is processed to serve pages, protect the site, and measure reliability. This policy describes what data is involved, why it exists, and what control you have.

Information We Collect

1) Request and security logs

Our hosting, CDN, and security providers may record request metadata when you load a page. Typical fields include:

• IP address (often stored in provider logs)
• User agent and basic device/browser information
• Timestamp, request URL/path, and HTTP status
• Referrer header (if your browser sends one)
• Performance and security signals (rate limiting, bot detection, error traces)

This information is used for operational security and debugging. It is not used to create a profile of you across unrelated websites.

2) Contact form submissions

If you submit the contact form, we receive the fields you provide (typically name, email address, and message). The content of your message may include additional information you choose to share.

Do not send sensitive personal data (for example: government IDs, financial account numbers, medical records, passwords, or authentication tokens). This site is not designed for confidential communications.

3) Cookies and similar identifiers

We may use cookies or similar technologies for limited purposes such as traffic measurement, fraud prevention, and (if enabled) advertising delivery and frequency control. The specific cookies depend on which services are enabled in the current deployment.

How Data Is Used

• Deliver pages and assets reliably via hosting/CDN infrastructure.
• Protect the site from abuse (automated scraping, attacks, excessive traffic).
• Diagnose errors, broken routes, and performance regressions.
• Respond to contact submissions and track follow-ups when needed.
• Measure aggregate usage (for example: which categories are visited most).

Log Data & Analytics

If analytics is enabled, it is used to understand aggregate behavior (page views, referral sources, and high-level geography derived from IP). Analytics is not intended to identify individual visitors.

Some providers may process IP addresses and user agents for deduplication, security, and abuse prevention. Where possible, we prefer settings that minimize retention and limit unnecessary identifiers.

Cookies & Tracking

Cookies can be used for session integrity, rate limiting, and (if enabled) advertising measurement. Depending on your region, you may see consent prompts provided by a consent framework.

• You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
• Blocking cookies may reduce functionality (for example: consent preferences or anti-abuse measures).
• Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals; handling varies by provider.

Data Retention

Retention is driven by operational need and provider defaults.

• Contact submissions: retained only as long as needed to address the request and maintain basic administrative records.
• Infrastructure logs: retained according to hosting/CDN/security provider policies.

Third-Party Links

Pages may link to third-party sites (for example: vendor documentation or official references). We do not control those sites. Their privacy practices apply when you leave ErrorCodesIndex.com.

Security Practices

We use common web security controls provided by modern hosting infrastructure (TLS, CDN caching, request filtering, and rate limiting). No website can guarantee absolute security; you should treat public web forms as non-confidential.

Children’s Privacy

The site is a general reference resource and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the site.

Jurisdiction

ErrorCodesIndex.com is operated as an informational website. Privacy requirements differ by region. If you are subject to a specific legal framework (for example: GDPR/UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA), you can contact us to request clarification about data handling and retention.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect operational changes (for example: enabling/disabling analytics providers, changes to hosting, or updates to the contact process). The effective date at the top indicates the current version.
