Summary
win32diskimager.app is a reference website about Win32 Disk Imager. We don't run user accounts, contact forms, comment systems or advertising networks. The only personal information we receive is what you choose to send us by email, plus the standard technical data that every web server records when a page is requested. This policy explains both in detail.
Who is responsible
This website is operated by the Win32 Disk Imager editorial team at win32diskimager.app. For any privacy question or request, write to [email protected].
Information collected automatically
When your browser requests a page, our hosting provider's servers record technical information in log files. This is standard for every website and is needed to deliver pages and keep the service secure. The logs may include:
- the IP address the request came from;
- the date and time of the request;
- the page or file requested;
- the referring page, if your browser sends one;
- your browser type and operating system, as reported by the browser;
- the HTTP status code and the amount of data transferred.
We use this information only to operate the website: serving pages, diagnosing errors, measuring overall load and protecting against abuse such as automated attacks. We don't combine it with other data to identify individual visitors, and we don't sell it.
Server logs are kept for a limited period, normally no longer than 30 days, unless a specific entry is needed to investigate a security incident.
Cookies and local storage
The website doesn't set advertising or tracking cookies. Our pages are static files. Fonts and images are served from our own domain, so loading a page doesn't send your data to font or image services.
Your browser may cache our pages, stylesheets and images to load the site faster on your next visit. That cache is stored on your device and controlled by your browser settings.
Analytics
We don't use third-party analytics scripts that profile visitors. If we decide to measure visits in future, we'll use a privacy-respecting method, such as aggregate counts from server logs or a cookie-less tool that doesn't track people across sites, and we'll update this policy before doing so.
When you email us, we receive your email address, your name if your email client includes it, the content of your message and any attachments. We use these only to reply and to improve the guides if your message points out an error or a gap.
Please don't send passwords, licence keys or disk images that contain personal data. If you need to show us a problem, a screenshot of the error or the text from Event Viewer is enough.
We keep correspondence only as long as it's useful for answering you and for tracking corrections, and normally delete it within 12 months.
External links and downloads
Our pages link to third-party sites, including GitHub, where the source archive is hosted, and SourceForge, where the original program is published. When you follow those links, you leave win32diskimager.app and the other site's own privacy policy applies. Downloading a file from GitHub or SourceForge is handled entirely by that service.
We add rel="noopener" to external links that open in a new tab, so the destination can't control our page.
Children
This website is a technical reference intended for a general adult audience. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.
Legal basis (EEA and UK visitors)
Where data protection law such as the GDPR applies, we rely on the following bases:
- Legitimate interests, for server logs used to operate and secure the website.
- Consent or legitimate interests, for handling an email you choose to send us.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- ask what personal information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct or delete it;
- object to or restrict how we use it;
- receive a copy in a portable format;
- complain to your local data protection authority.
To use any of these rights, email [email protected]. We may need to confirm that the request comes from you, and we'll reply within 30 days.
Security
The website is served over HTTPS. Because it's made of static files with no database or login, there's very little personal data to protect in the first place. Our hosting provider applies its own physical and network security controls.
No transmission over the internet is completely secure, so please don't send sensitive information by email.
International visitors
Our hosting provider may process server logs in countries other than yours. Where that happens, it's covered by the provider's own safeguards for international transfers.
Changes to this policy
If our practices change, we'll update this page and change the date at the top. Significant changes will be noted on this page.
