Privacy Policy
Introduction
This MCC-MNC Database ("Service", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.
Information We Collect
Automatically Collected Information
When you use our Service, we automatically collect the following information:
- Anonymized IP Address: We collect your IP address in an anonymized form (last octet masked for IPv4, e.g., 192.168.1.0). This prevents individual identification while allowing us to monitor for abuse and analyze geographic trends.
- Browser Information: Your browser type and version (user agent string), which helps us ensure compatibility.
- Usage Data: Pages visited, search queries, download requests, and timestamps to understand how the Service is used.
- Rate Limit Information: Whether rate limits were triggered, to maintain service quality.
Information You Provide
This Service does not require registration or accounts. We do not collect names, email addresses, or other personal identifying information unless you voluntarily contact us.
How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for:
- Service Operation: To provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
- Security & Abuse Prevention: To detect and prevent abuse, spam, and security threats.
- Rate Limiting: To enforce fair usage limits (10 downloads per day).
- Analytics: To understand usage patterns and improve the Service.
- Debugging: To diagnose technical issues and errors.
We do not use your data for advertising, marketing, or profiling.
Data Retention
We retain data only as long as necessary:
- Usage Analytics: Automatically deleted after 90 days.
- Server Logs: Rotated and automatically deleted after 5 backups (approximately 50 MB of logs).
- Database Records: MCC-MNC code data is retained indefinitely as it's public information from ITU bulletins.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties, except:
- If required by law or legal process.
- To protect our rights, safety, or property.
- With your explicit consent.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
Summary
We collect minimal, anonymized data (IP addresses with last octet masked, browser info, usage patterns) for security and analytics. We automatically delete data after 90 days. We don't sell your data or use it for advertising. We use industry-standard security practices.
