Privacy policy

This policy describes how the public FixBeforeBuy website handles information when you browse, request manuals, or purchase content.

Last updated 18 August 2026

Who we are

FixBeforeBuy is the public name of this website. Contact details for formal data-protection requests will be published here when available.

No public customer accounts

Browsing the catalog does not require an account. Customers are not asked to create a username and password. Staff admin sign-in is a separate, non-public area and is not a consumer account system.

Information the public site processes

  • Checkout email — entered when you buy a manual or bundle, used for receipts, fulfillment, and purchase recovery.
  • Missing-manual requests — email, brand, model, and problem description submitted through the request form.
  • Purchase-recovery requests — the email you say you used at checkout, so access links can be sent.
  • Optional repair feedback — submitted through a private token link after a purchase, not a public profile.
  • On-device data — language preference, cookie preferences, theme, and purchase-access tokens stored in the browser.
  • Technical logs — our hosting and application services may receive IP address, browser information, timestamps, and similar request metadata. Specific retention periods are not listed on this page.

Payments

Card payments are handled by Stripe Checkout. You leave this website to complete payment on Stripe. We do not collect full card numbers in our own forms. Stripe’s privacy terms apply to data you submit on Stripe-hosted pages.

Analytics

The site may load Google Analytics 4 when analytics is enabled for the deployment. Page views on most public pages may be sent to Google. Some private purchase areas are excluded from measurement. Analytics may load before you save cookie preferences, depending on site configuration.

Cookies and local storage

See the cookie policy for details. Language preference can be stored in a first-party cookie after you switch language. Cookie choices and several purchase helpers use browser local storage.

Sharing

We do not sell personal data through a data-broker or advertising network described on this site. Service providers that support the public product include hosting, Stripe for payments, and Google Analytics when enabled.

Retention and rights

Retention periods, international transfers, lawful bases, and consumer rights may vary by location and are not fully described on this page. If you have questions about your data, use the contact options on this site.

If you want purchase access removed from a browser, you can clear site data for this domain. That does not by itself delete server-side order records. Use the contact page for access or deletion questions.
