• Technical data — like most websites, our servers automatically log standard technical details such as browser type, device type, and IP address for security and troubleshooting purposes.
• Communications — if you contact us directly, such as through our Contact page, we keep a record of that correspondence so we can respond to you.

Cookies

ThumbsUpTechCo may use a small number of essential cookies to keep you signed in and to remember basic site preferences. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell any information collected through cookies. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, though some features of the site may not work as intended if you do.

Third-Party Links
