PRIVACY POLICY

1. Information We Collect

PCRunIt is committed to the principle of data minimization. We do not require user account registration, passwords, credit card details, or personal names to access our benchmark simulation tools and system requirement databases.

We may automatically collect non-personally identifiable diagnostic information such as browser type, operating system family, device screen resolution, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs through standard web logs and cookies to ensure platform stability and prevent malicious traffic.

2. Google AdSense & Advertising Cookies

We partner with Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense uses cookies, web beacons, and unique identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings or through the Network Advertising Initiative.

3. Google Analytics & Traffic Metrics

We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic, geographic trends, and page responsiveness. Google Analytics collects diagnostic data such as anonymized IP addresses, browser versions, and visit flows. This data is processed securely by Google. For comprehensive details on Google’s privacy safeguards, visit Google’s Privacy & Terms.

4. Cookies & Local Storage (Client-Side)

We use cookies to improve user experience and maintain site settings. Additionally, PCRunIt utilizes browser local storage (localStorage) to temporarily remember your chosen GPU, CPU, and target resolution so that you do not need to re-enter your rig specifications when navigating between different games.

Hardware information stored in local storage remains exclusively on your device and is never uploaded, tracked, or sold by PCRunIt. You can clear your stored cookies and local data through your browser settings at any time.

5. Third-Party Links & External References

Our website contains links to third-party sites (including game publishers, digital storefronts like Steam and Epic Games, and hardware manufacturers like NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel). We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of those external websites.
