Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 24, 2026
This policy explains how CompatRef, an independently operated robot-vacuum parts compatibility reference, handles information when you visit https://compatref.com or contact the site operator.
Information you provide
CompatRef does not offer user accounts, checkout, or direct payment processing. If you email us, we receive the information you choose to include, such as your email address, message, model or part details, and supporting links. Do not send passwords, payment-card information, government identifiers, or other sensitive personal information.
Information collected automatically
The site uses Google Analytics to understand site traffic and improve content. Depending on your device, browser, settings, and location, analytics information may include pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser information, referring pages, session information, and interactions such as outbound affiliate-link clicks. Google processes this information under its own privacy terms.
The site also loads eBay Partner Network Smart Links. Affiliate partners and linked retailers, including eBay, Amazon, and CJ advertisers, may receive information when their links or services load or when you follow a link. They may use cookies or similar technologies under their own policies. CompatRef does not receive your retailer passwords, payment-card details, or order information from these links.
How information is used
- Operate, secure, diagnose, and improve the site
- Understand which pages and compatibility topics are useful
- Measure outbound and affiliate-link performance
- Respond to questions, corrections, and evidence submissions
- Comply with applicable legal obligations and prevent misuse
Cookies and similar technologies
Analytics and affiliate services may use cookies or similar browser storage. You can limit or remove cookies through your browser settings and may use tools offered by the relevant service providers. Blocking these technologies may affect analytics or affiliate attribution but should not prevent access to the compatibility database.
Sharing and external services
Information may be processed by service providers used to operate and measure the site, including Google Analytics and affiliate-network or retailer services. We do not sell personal information. When you leaveCompatRef through an external link, the destination site's privacy policy applies.
Retention
Email correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain correction records, resolve disputes, or meet legal obligations. Analytics and affiliate providers control their own retention periods according to their settings and policies.
Your choices and rights
You may ask about, correct, or request deletion of personal information you sent directly to CompatRef, subject to applicable law and legitimate recordkeeping needs. Browser controls can be used to manage cookies. Requests should be sent to corrections@compatref.com.
Children
CompatRef is a general-audience reference service and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as the site or its service providers change. The date above identifies the latest revision. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
