Privacy Policy.
SpecsMatch is built on strict data principles: utility above commerce, zero user profiling, and minimal privacy-safe telemetry.
Privacy by design
SpecsMatch operates as an informational reference and compatibility index for OEM replacement parts, vacuum bags, filters, and electronics power specifications. We do not require user accounts, logins, or personal registrations to access our index.
We believe that lookups should be private, fast, and unencumbered by tracking overhead. We do not build user profiles, harvest personal contact information, or monetize personal behavioral data.
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) disclosure
SpecsMatch uses Google Analytics 4 (Measurement ID: G-X6HQ0Y4398) solely to collect privacy-safe, aggregated usage metrics. This telemetry helps us understand overall traffic volume, aggregate page performance, error rates, and popular part lookups so we can prioritize editorial updates.
Under our configuration:
- No Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as names, email addresses, or physical addresses is collected or transmitted.
- No raw user search queries or personal input strings are logged to analytics storage.
- IP anonymization is enabled by default in GA4, ensuring full IP addresses are never written to disk or exposed.
- Analytics scripts are loaded with delayed execution to prioritize user page rendering and reduce data transmission.
Cookie usage
SpecsMatch uses first-party cookies strictly associated with aggregate web analytics to count visits and traffic sources. We do not use third-party behavioral advertising cookies or cross-site tracking pixels.
You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or notify you when a cookie is sent. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to browse compatibility tables or use part lookups on SpecsMatch.
Third-party retailers
Certain compatibility pages may include outbound links to merchant platforms (such as Amazon or authorized parts retailers) where replacement parts may be purchased.
When you click on an outbound retailer link, you are directed to an external site governed by its own terms of service and privacy policy. SpecsMatch does not pass any personal user data or profile information to external retailers.
