Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 October 2026Version 2.0
In short: TechJox is a free information service. You can read our articles and run most checks without an account. We keep the minimum data needed to run the site, keep it secure, and improve it. We don't sell your personal data. This page explains exactly what we collect, why, and the choices you have.

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy applies to the website techjox.com and the tools and content offered on it (together, the "Service"), operated by TechJox Media ("TechJox", "we", "us"). Our registered office is 9B Zaa'beel St, Al Karama, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

We are the "data controller" for personal data processed through the Service. If you have any question about this policy, contact our privacy team using the details in section 15.

2. Data we collect

We collect only what we need. The table below summarises the categories of data, where they come from, and why we hold them.

CategoryExamplesWhy
Technical dataIP address, browser type, device, approximate region, referring pageTo deliver pages, prevent abuse, and keep aggregate statistics
Usage dataPages viewed, tools used, time on site, links clickedTo understand what's useful and improve the Service

Account dataName, email and password, if you create a free accountTo operate your account and the community features you use
Subscription dataEmail address, if you join our newsletterTo send the newsletter you asked for

We do not ask for sensitive personal data (such as health, religion, or political views), and we ask that you don't send it to us.

3. Using our checking tools

Our Website Checker and Is It Down tools let you submit a web address for analysis. We want to be clear about what happens to what you enter:

  • Domains and links you submit may be stored to display anonymous "recently checked" and "most checked" features, to cache results, and to improve our detection. These are not linked to your identity.
  • A score or report is automated guidance, not a definitive verdict. See our How We Review page for the methodology.
Please don't paste passwords, full card numbers, or other secrets into any checker – on our site or anywhere else.

4. How we use your data

We use personal data to:

  • operate, maintain and secure the Service;
  • run the checks you request and show their results;
  • respond to your messages, tips and correction requests;
  • send our newsletter when you have subscribed;
  • measure and improve content and features using aggregate analytics;
  • detect, prevent and investigate abuse, fraud and security incidents; and
  • comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell personal data, and we do not use it to make decisions that produce legal effects about you.

6. Cookies & analytics

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use:

  • Essential cookies needed for the site to function and to remember your preferences. These cannot be switched off.
  • Analytics cookies that help us count visits and understand usage in aggregate, configured to minimise personal data.

You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where shown, through our cookie banner. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.

7. Advertising

TechJox is free to use and may be supported in part by advertising and clearly labelled sponsored content. Where we show third-party ads, the provider may set its own cookies under its own policy. We label sponsored content so you always know what you're reading, and advertising never influences our scores.

8. Sharing & third-party processors

We share personal data only with service providers that help us run the Service – hosting and content-delivery, analytics, email delivery, and security services – and only as needed. Each is bound to protect your data and use it only on our instructions. We may also disclose data where required by law, to protect our rights or users' safety, or in connection with a corporate transaction.

9. How long we keep data

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, then delete or anonymise it. Contact messages are kept while the matter is open and for a reasonable period afterwards; newsletter data until you unsubscribe; aggregate analytics for a limited rolling window. Anonymous lookup data that cannot identify you may be retained to power site features.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, port your data, and withdraw consent. To exercise any right, email [email protected]. We will respond within the time required by applicable law (usually within 30 days) and may need to verify your identity first. You also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.

11. Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, and regular review of our providers. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to keep risk low and respond quickly to any incident.

12. Age requirement

TechJox is intended for users aged 18 and over. The Service is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.

If you believe someone under 18 has provided us with personal data, contact [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.

13. International transfers

We operate from the United Arab Emirates and use providers that may process data in other countries. Where personal data is transferred across borders, we take steps to ensure it remains protected to a standard consistent with this policy and applicable law.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes to the Service, the law, or our practices. When we make material changes, we update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you. Your continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
