1. Who we are

Tuners Guild® operates the website tunersguild.com, the community forum community.tunersguild.com, and the training platform academy.tunersguild.com. This policy explains how we handle your data across all three domains.

Contact: admin@tunersguild.com

2. What data we collect

  • Name and email address (when you create an account, subscribe, or use our tools)
  • Payment information (processed by our payment provider, not stored by us)
  • Course progress and completion data
  • Tool usage data (which tools you use, how often, which ECU types)
  • Usage data via Google Analytics 4 (anonymized)
  • Information you provide in forms (certification applications, surveys)
  • Forum activity (posts, replies, Trust Level progression)

3. How we use your data

  • To provide and improve our courses, tools, and community services
  • To process payments and manage your account
  • To send course-related emails and tool notifications (you can unsubscribe at any time)

4. Tool data handling

When you use Tuners Guild tools (Scrambler, Maps Import, A2L/Damos Generator), you upload ECU-related files for processing. We store processed files to allow re-download. Your uploaded files contain your proprietary calibration data — we treat this as confidential and do not share, sell, or analyze file contents beyond what is necessary for tool functionality.

6. Cookies

We use essential cookies for site functionality and analytics cookies (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. This includes your forum account, tool usage history, and email subscriptions. To exercise these rights, contact us at admin@tunersguild.com.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
