Privacy notice

Account and access information

We use your email address and an authentication identifier to sign you in, match your membership, prevent unauthorized access, and respond to support requests. Cloudflare provides email verification and website hosting. Essential authentication cookies keep you signed in.

Payments and subscriptions

Stripe hosts checkout and the billing portal. Data Center Radar does not collect full card numbers or card security codes. We retain the account email, Stripe customer and subscription identifiers, selected plan, accepted terms version, checkout time, payment-confirmed access period, and subscription status to provide and manage membership.

Stripe sends signed notifications when payments or subscriptions change. We use those notifications and Stripe’s current billing records to activate access, process renewals, and reflect cancellation. Stripe processes payment information under its privacy policy.

Research and operational records

Public project previews show limited announcement-level details. Detailed sources are provided through membership. Private research notes and member account information are not included in public profiles. Hosting and security providers may process request information, such as IP address, browser details, and timestamps, to deliver and protect the service.

Weekly email digest

If you subscribe, Brevo processes your email address, consent and confirmation records, and email delivery and engagement information to operate the digest. We send only after you confirm your email. Cloudflare Turnstile processes browser and request information to protect the signup form from automated abuse. Membership does not automatically subscribe you to marketing emails.

Unsubscribe using the link in any digest. Brevo retains unsubscribe and suppression records to help prevent further marketing sends. You can also contact support@datacenterradar.com for help or to request deletion. Newsletter links may include campaign labels used by our optional website conversion measurement described below. Brevo handles information under its privacy policy.

Website measurement

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics on public pages to understand visits, referring websites, popular pages, and loading performance. This measurement does not use analytics cookies or identify individual visitors. Cloudflare does not log query strings in Web Analytics. Membership and payment records are kept separately to administer subscriptions.

With your permission, we also use first-party conversion measurement. A random browser identifier lasts for 30 days. We record public page paths, membership-access clicks, referring domains, and the source, medium, and campaign labels in tagged links. We do not collect full referral URLs, search queries, card details, or private project contents through this measurement. If you sign in, we may associate that measured browser journey with your account identifier and confirmed membership purchase to understand conversion. This information is available only to the site owner and is not sold or shared with advertising networks.

Choose “No thanks” or use “Measurement preferences” at the bottom of a public page to withdraw permission. Withdrawal removes the current measured browser history and its attribution link, while required billing records remain. We respect Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track for this optional measurement. Detailed browser activity is removed after 90 days. Payment records remain subject to the billing retention policy below.

Google Ads measurement

If you choose “Allow all measurement,” we also load the Google tag to measure whether our advertising leads to a paid membership. Google may receive ad-click identifiers, browser and network information, a general page address, the amount and currency of a confirmed first membership payment, and its unique invoice identifier to prevent duplicate counting. We do not send your name, email address, card details, or private research contents in our conversion event. Advertising personalization is disabled.

This permission is separate from first-party measurement. “First-party only” and “No thanks” do not load the Google tag. Your choice lasts 30 days. Google advertising cookies may retain attribution for up to 90 days. Use “Measurement preferences” at the bottom of a public page to withdraw consent; we stop future Google measurement and remove the Google advertising cookies we set on this site. Browser privacy signals also disable this optional tracking. Google handles data under its privacy policy; see how Google uses information from partner sites.

Retention and your choices

We retain information as needed to operate accounts, document billing and accepted terms, resolve disputes, and meet applicable recordkeeping requirements. To request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account information, contact support@datacenterradar.com. Some payment and security records may need to be retained after an account closes.

Canceling a subscription stops future renewals according to the membership terms. It does not automatically delete the account or records needed to administer past payments.
