2. Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, some information may be collected automatically when you visit XScanHub, either by us or by third-party infrastructure and analytics providers.
- Basic device, browser, and usage information used for analytics, performance, and security monitoring.

3. How We Use Information
We use information we receive to operate and improve the site, respond to messages, review submissions, measure traffic, show ads where enabled, and protect the service from misuse.
4. Third-Party Services
We use third-party providers to run parts of the site. These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies.
- Supabase: Stores structured site data and contact form submissions so we can review and respond to inbound messages.
- Google Analytics: Used to understand traffic and site usage patterns.

5. Cookies, Analytics, and Ad Choices
You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
If Google advertising is active, you can review or adjust ad personalization preferences in Google Ad Settings.
6. Search Query Logging
Search Query Logging. We log anonymous search queries you submit through our search box, along with the number of results returned and a random session identifier stored in a functional cookie named xsh_sid (rotated every 7 days). We do not store your IP address, user agent, or any user identity. This data is used solely to improve our catalog and prevent abuse; it is never used for behavioral profiling, advertising, or shared with third parties. The xsh_sid cookie is strictly necessary for deduplication and abuse prevention and is therefore exempt from consent requirements under GDPR.
7. Retention, Access, and Deletion Requests
We try to keep personal information only for as long as needed to operate the service, review submissions, respond to inquiries, and maintain reasonable business records. If you want us to review, correct, or delete personal information we directly control, please contact us.
8. External Links
This site links to third-party websites and AI tools. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of those external sites. Please review their policies before using them.
9. Children
XScanHub is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review the request.
10. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will publish the updated version on this page and revise the last updated date.
