Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Civil Geo Tools handles information when you use this website, contact the editorial team, download a resource, or view advertising. It applies to civilgeotools.com and its public pages.

Information You Provide

You may provide your name, email address, subject, user type, and message when contacting Civil Geo Tools. On the static version of this website, the contact form opens a draft in your own email application. The message is sent through your email provider only after you choose to send it.

Downloadable engineering resources do not require an account or email signup. Do not send confidential project records, sensitive personal information, or emergency requests through the contact form.

Information Collected Automatically

Hosting, security, analytics, and advertising services may process technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, approximate location, referring page, pages visited, timestamps, cookie identifiers, and interactions with the website. This information is used to deliver the site, prevent abuse, understand performance, and support advertising.

Google AdSense And Advertising

Civil Geo Tools uses Google AdSense for website review and, when approved, to display advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar identifiers to collect information as a result of ad serving. Google and its partners may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this website or other websites.

You can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. You can also learn how Google uses information from partner sites.

Consent Choices

Where required, visitors are shown a consent message that provides choices for advertising cookies and personalized advertising. Before personalized advertising is activated, Civil Geo Tools configures a Google-certified consent management platform for applicable visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. You may revisit available privacy choices through the consent controls presented on the site.

How Information Is Used And Shared

Information is used to operate and secure the website, respond to messages, correct technical content, understand aggregate usage, comply with legal obligations, and provide or measure advertising. Information may be processed by hosting, email, security, analytics, consent-management, and advertising providers only for the services they provide. Civil Geo Tools does not sell contact-form messages or email addresses.

Retention And Security

Contact correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain correction records, resolve disputes, or meet legal obligations. Service providers may retain technical or advertising data under their own published policies. Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used, but no internet transmission or storage method is completely secure.

Your Choices And Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection concerning personal information. You may also manage cookies through your browser, advertising settings, or the website consent message. Blocking some technologies may affect site or advertising functionality.

Children And External Links

Civil Geo Tools is a general engineering reference and is not directed to children under 13. The website links to external technical and policy resources whose privacy practices are controlled by their respective operators.

Policy Updates And Contact

This policy may be updated when services or legal requirements change. The revision date above identifies the latest version. Privacy questions and requests may be sent to info@civilgeotools.com.
