Privacy Policy
Last updated: 16 August 2026.
This Privacy Policy describes how TOY R&D (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit toyrd.com. By using the site, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information we collect
- Server logs: IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamps, retained for a short rolling period for security and abuse prevention.
- Analytics: anonymized page-view statistics through a privacy-respecting analytics tool. We do not use this data to identify individual visitors.
- Comments and form submissions: if you choose to submit a comment or contact form, we collect the content you provide and the metadata associated with it (name, email, website if any).
- Cookies: minimal functional cookies if you leave a comment or subscribe to the newsletter (when available). No advertising cookies are placed by TOY R&D.
2. How we use information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the site.
- To respond to legitimate inquiries submitted through the contact form or email.
- To monitor and prevent abuse, spam, or security incidents.
- To publish anonymized or aggregated insights that may help readers (never identifying any individual).
3. What we do not do
- We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data.
- We do not run advertising networks that profile individual visitors.
- We do not import contact lists, customer data, or supplier information from any third-party or employer system into TOY R&D databases.
4. Data retention
Server logs are rotated on a short rolling schedule. Comments and contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed for the purpose they were submitted for, after which they are deleted. Newsletter subscription data (when the feature is enabled) is stored until you unsubscribe.
5. Your rights
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information you have submitted to TOY R&D by emailing hello@toyrd.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
6. External links
Articles on TOY R&D may link to external sites (standards bodies, suppliers, tools, reference material). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the site grows. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
