What arrives here
Data we collect
The contact form collects the name, email address, and message content that a visitor chooses to submit. A tip, a correction, or a question about a Mac release or Windows compatibility on Apple silicon is only sent when the visitor writes it and presses send.
No account is required to read news, guides, or comparisons on this site. We do not ask for payment details through the contact form. Data beyond what a visitor submits is limited to standard technical logs described in a later section.
Purpose
How we use submitted data
Submitted data is used to read a tip, correction, or question and to reply by email when a reply is needed. Contact information is used only for the purpose stated in the message.
A correction may lead to an updated entry on this site, without publishing the sender's personal details. The change is published; the sender is not named for it.
We do not sell submitted data or share it for advertising. If a message needs an answer, the answer goes to the address in that message.
