Privacy Policy

Who is responsible for this policy

This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use 4KM Tech, a consumer electronics review and buying-guidance website. For privacy questions or requests concerning information associated with the site, contact the 4KM Tech Editors at info@4km-tech.com.

You do not need to create an account or provide personal information simply to read our articles. Information can nevertheless be generated when a website is visited or supplied when you choose to contact us, so this policy explains those situations and the choices available to readers.

Information that may be collected

Web servers can record technical information needed to deliver and protect a website, such as an IP address, requested page, date and time, browser or device information and basic request data. Cookies and similar technologies may also store or read information when analytics or advertising services are active.

If you email info@4km-tech.com, we receive your email address, the contents of your message and any information you voluntarily include. Please do not send passwords, payment-card details or other sensitive information that is unnecessary for an editorial, correction or privacy enquiry.

Analytics

4KM Tech may use Google Analytics or similar analytics services to understand website traffic in aggregate. Analytics can help show which pages are visited, how visitors navigate the site, what type of browser or device is used and approximate geographic information. This helps us understand how reviews and buying guides are being used and where the site may need improvement.

Analytics providers may process technical identifiers and other usage information under their own systems and policies. Analytics data is used to understand patterns rather than to require readers to identify themselves to access editorial content.

Advertising

Some 4KM Tech pages may display advertisements supplied by third-party advertising partners. Advertising services may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure and, where permitted, personalise adverts. This can involve information about visits to this and other websites, subject to the provider's settings, policies and applicable consent requirements.

Readers can manage advertising personalisation through Google Ads Settings and may also be able to opt out or limit personalised advertising through controls offered by advertising providers or their device and browser. Advertising does not require a reader to provide personal details directly to the 4KM Tech Editors.

Cookies and browser controls

Cookies are small pieces of data stored through a browser. On this site they may be used for functions connected with analytics, advertising, preferences, measurement or the reliable operation of website services. Some cookies may be placed by third-party services when those services are active.

You can use your browser settings to view, block or delete cookies. Blocking cookies may reduce the information available to analytics or advertising services and can affect functions that depend on them. Browser controls vary, so consult the help information for the browser or device you use.

How information is used, shared and retained

Information may be used to operate and protect the site, understand aggregate traffic, respond to messages, investigate corrections or rights requests, and support advertising where applicable. Relevant information may be processed by service providers that supply hosting, analytics, advertising or communication functions. It may also be disclosed where required by law or where reasonably necessary to respond to a valid legal request.

We do not aim to retain personal information for longer than it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected. Email enquiries are generally kept only while they are needed to respond and handle appropriate follow-up. Technical, analytics and advertising data may have different retention periods controlled by the relevant systems or providers.

International processing

Some technology providers used to deliver analytics, advertising, hosting or other website functions may process information in countries other than the country from which a reader visits. Different privacy rules may therefore apply to processing performed by those providers.

Where data is transferred internationally, the relevant provider may use legal safeguards or contractual arrangements appropriate to its service and applicable law. Readers should consult the privacy information supplied by a third-party provider when they want details about that provider's international processing.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live and which law applies, including UK GDPR and similar privacy laws, you may have rights concerning personal information about you. These can include asking for access, requesting correction or deletion, objecting to certain processing, and raising a complaint with the appropriate data protection authority.

To make a privacy request concerning information handled through 4KM Tech, email info@4km-tech.com and explain what you are asking us to do. We may need enough information to understand the request and determine whether information can reasonably be linked to you. Nothing in this policy is intended to restrict rights provided by applicable law.

Children

4KM Tech is a general consumer technology information site and is not directed at children under 13, or under 16 where local law requires that higher age threshold. We do not ask children to create accounts in order to read our editorial content.

If you believe a child has provided personal information directly through an email or other contact with the site, contact us so the circumstances can be reviewed and appropriate action considered.

External links

Reviews and buying guides may refer readers to third-party websites for information about products or services. Once you follow an external link, that website controls its own data practices. 4KM Tech does not control the privacy practices of external sites.

Before providing personal information or making a purchase on another website, read its privacy information and relevant terms. A link from an editorial page does not make that site's privacy practices part of this policy.

Changes and contact

This policy may be updated when website practices, services or privacy requirements change. The current version should be read when you want to understand how information is handled. Last updated: September 2026.

For privacy questions, access or deletion requests, or concerns about information associated with 4KM Tech, email info@4km-tech.com. You can also read our Terms of Use for the conditions applying to use of the site.
