Privacy Policy
Desktop Monitor Resolutions ("we," "us," "our"), operated by Muhammad Younus, respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit desktopmonitorresolutions.com, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over it. We've written it to match what this site actually does, not a generic template.
1. The short version
This is a free reference and tools site. Our calculators and the screen resolution checker run entirely in your browser, so your screen details and inputs never reach our servers. We don't require accounts, and we don't ask for personal information unless you choose to email us. The only data collected automatically is standard analytics and advertising data through third-party services, described below. We do not sell your personal information.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Information you provide
The only way you actively give us personal information is by contacting us. If you email us with a question, correction, or request, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use it solely to reply and to act on your request.
2.2 Information collected automatically
When you visit the site, limited technical information is collected automatically through analytics and advertising tools:
- Usage data: pages visited, time on page, referring website, and general interaction patterns.
- Device and browser data: browser type and version, device type, operating system, and screen size.
- Approximate location: a coarse, city or region level estimate derived from your IP address, not a precise location.
- Cookies and similar technologies: small files used for analytics and advertising, explained in our Cookie Policy.
2.3 What our tools do not collect
Our resolution checker and calculators process everything locally in your browser. The resolution you're running, the sizes you enter, and the results they produce are never transmitted to us or stored on our servers.
3. How we use your information
We use the limited data we collect to operate and improve the site, understand which guides and tools are useful, keep the site secure and functioning, respond to messages you send us, and serve advertising that funds the free tools. We don't use your data to build marketing profiles ourselves, and we don't sell it.
4. Legal basis for processing (GDPR)
If you're in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your data on these legal bases:
- Consent: for advertising and non-essential analytics cookies, requested through our consent banner where required.
- Legitimate interest: for basic, privacy-respecting analytics, site security, and preventing abuse.
- Legal obligation: where we must retain or disclose information to comply with the law.
5. How we share your information
We don't sell your personal information. We share limited data only with the service providers that make the site work:
- Google (AdSense and Google Analytics): serves advertising and provides site analytics. Google may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites.
- Cloudflare: hosts and delivers the site, and processes technical request data to serve pages and protect against abuse.
- Legal authorities: where we're required by law to disclose information.
Each provider processes data under its own privacy policy and terms.
6. Cookies and advertising
We use cookies for analytics and to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can control these in your browser, opt out of personalized Google advertising through Google's Ads Settings, and, where required by law, we request your consent before setting non-essential cookies. Full details, including the specific cookies and how to manage them, are in our Cookie Policy.
7. Your privacy rights
7.1 GDPR rights (EU and UK visitors)
You have the right to access your data, correct inaccurate data, request erasure, restrict or object to processing, request portability, and withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority, for example the ICO in the UK.
7.2 CCPA rights (California residents)
You have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request its deletion, to correct it, to opt out of the sale of personal information (we don't sell it), and to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.
7.3 How to exercise your rights
Email us at privacy@desktopmonitorresolutions.com. We'll acknowledge your request promptly and respond within 30 days (up to 45 days for CCPA requests). We may need to verify your identity before we act on a request.
8. Data retention
We keep automatically collected analytics data only as long as needed to understand site usage, in line with our analytics provider's retention settings. Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to handle your request and any reasonable follow-up.
9. Data security
The site is served over encrypted HTTPS, and we rely on reputable providers with their own security measures. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so while we take reasonable steps to protect information, we can't guarantee absolute security.
10. International data transfers
Our providers, including Google and Cloudflare, are based in the United States and may process data there and in other countries. Where data is transferred out of the EEA or UK, those providers rely on safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to protect it.
11. Children's privacy
This site isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we'll remove it.
12. Third-party links
Our guides sometimes link to other websites for reference. We aren't responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, so please review their policies before providing them any information.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our practices or the law change. When we do, we'll revise the "last updated" date above, and significant changes will be reflected on this page. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
14. Contact us
For any privacy question or to exercise your rights, email privacy@desktopmonitorresolutions.com. This site is operated by Muhammad Younus under the name Desktop Monitor Resolutions.
