TV Fix Guide is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites.

Manufacturer Websites

Our troubleshooting articles may link to support resources operated by companies such as Samsung, LG, Roku, Amazon, Hisense, TCL, Sony, Vizio or other manufacturers and platform providers.

If you follow one of these links, the privacy policy of that external company will govern information processed on its website.

Do We Sell Personal Information?

TV Fix Guide does not operate as a data broker and does not intentionally sell personal information submitted through our contact forms in exchange for direct monetary payment.

Certain privacy laws may use broader definitions of terms such as "sale," "sharing" or targeted advertising. Advertising and analytics technologies may therefore be treated differently under some laws.

Data Retention

We aim to retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information.

Contact messages may be retained for correspondence or correction records, while technical logs may be retained for security, troubleshooting or performance purposes.

However, no website, server, network, database or electronic transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Visitors should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through the website.

Website infrastructure and service providers may process information in countries other than the country where a visitor is located.

These rights may include the ability to:

Request access to certain personal information
Request correction of inaccurate personal information
