1. Zero-Tracking Static Privacy Policy
InfiniteMac does not require or accept account registrations, logins, comments, or form submissions. We do not set tracking cookies, run behavioral profiling scripts, or sell visitor data to third parties.
- Local Preferences: When you toggle between Dark and Light themes, your choice is saved locally in your own browser via
localStorage.getItem("im_theme")and is never transmitted to any external database. - Regional Storefront Detection: To route hardware reference links to your nearest regional storefront, your browser checks its local timezone/locale and Cloudflare edge country code (
/cdn-cgi/trace) within temporary session memory (sessionStorage.getItem("im_cc")).
2. Affiliate & Amazon Associates Disclosure
As an Amazon Associate, InfiniteMac earns from qualifying purchases.
To help offset hosting and archival preservation costs without intrusive display banners or pop-up advertisements, technical dossiers and member hardware profiles include contextual Hardware Reference links (marked with rel="sponsored noopener noreferrer"). When you click a hardware reference pill, it directs you to your regional Amazon storefront (amazon.com — including Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it, Amazon.es, Amazon.nl, Amazon.pl, or Amazon.se) at no additional cost to you.
3. Historical Community Attribution & Sanitization
All 6,721 technical dossiers and 52,136 dispatches are credited to their original InfiniteMac community authors (2008–2024). To protect contributor privacy against automated harvesting, legacy plaintext email addresses and instant-messaging handles inside historical forum signatures have been automatically sanitized (e.g., user (at) domain.com).
