Tech Bench Lab (techbenchlab.com, “we”, “us”) is operated by MRS Corporation. This page explains what information is collected when you visit the site, how it is used, and the choices you have. The site does not require registration, and you can read every guide and download every file without giving us any personal information.

Information we collect

Server logs. Like almost every website, our hosting provider automatically records standard technical data for each request: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, date and time. These logs are used for security, error diagnosis and aggregate traffic statistics only.

Email address (optional). If you request the free Quick Board-Test Reference Card, we store the email address you type in so we can send you the PDF and, occasionally, a note when a guide you may care about is published. You can unsubscribe at any time by replying to any message or by writing to contact@techbenchlab.com, and we will delete your address.

Contact. If you email us, we keep the correspondence for as long as needed to answer you.

We do not sell, rent or trade personal information.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Tech Bench Lab itself sets no tracking cookies. Third-party services used on this site (advertising and analytics, described below) may set cookies or use similar technologies such as web beacons and local storage. You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings; the guides and downloads keep working without them.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display advertising, which is how the site pays for hosting the files it offers for free. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. In particular:

In regions where the law requires consent (the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), Google serves only non-personalized ads until you have given consent through a consent message, and you can change that choice at any time.

Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand, in aggregate, which guides help readers most (page views, country, device type, referring site). Google Analytics uses cookies and processes IP addresses; on GA4, IP addresses are not logged or stored. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Downloads

Files hosted on this site are unmodified installers obtained from the software’s vendor or official repository. Where available we publish the version, the original source and an MD5 or SHA-256 checksum so you can verify what you downloaded. Downloading a file does not require an account and does not send us any personal information beyond the standard server log entry described above.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU/UK or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent. The only personal information we hold that can identify you is an email address you gave us voluntarily; to exercise any of these rights, email contact@techbenchlab.com and we will act within 30 days. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16.

External links

Our guides link to vendor sites, datasheets, forums and documentation. Those sites have their own privacy policies, which we do not control.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of the page. Material changes will be noted on the page itself.
