Where applicable data-protection law requires a legal basis, we process personal information on one or more of the following grounds:

Consent: when you agree to non-essential cookies, personalized advertising, or another optional processing activity.
Legitimate interests: to operate, improve, protect, and understand the website, provided those interests do not override your rights.

Legal obligations: when information must be processed or retained to comply with applicable law.
Establishment or defense of legal claims: when reasonably necessary to protect our lawful rights.

You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device by a website or its service providers. Tonercom may use cookies and similar technologies for:

Essential website functionality.
Security and fraud prevention.
Saving privacy and consent preferences.
Remembering comment-form information when requested.
Measuring website and advertising performance.
Limiting how often an advertisement appears.
Providing personalized or non-personalized advertising.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Other cookies are used only when permitted by applicable law or when the required consent has been obtained.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect certain website functions.

6. Google AdSense and Advertising

Tonercom may use Google AdSense to display advertisements.

Google and other advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, limit, personalize, and measure advertisements. Google’s advertising cookies may allow Google and its partners to select ads based on a visitor’s activity on Tonercom or other websites.

Depending on the visitor’s location, consent choices, and Google settings, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized. Non-personalized advertisements may still use cookies for purposes such as frequency control, aggregated reporting, fraud prevention, and security.

You can learn how Google uses information from websites that use its services at:

https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

You can review or change Google advertising preferences through My Ad Center:

https://myadcenter.google.com/

Google’s Privacy Policy is available at:

https://policies.google.com/privacy

Other third-party advertising vendors or networks may also use cookies where enabled. Their use of information is governed by their respective privacy policies and your available consent choices.

7. Consent Choices

Where required by law, Tonercom requests permission before using non-essential cookies or processing personal information for personalized advertising.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland may be shown a consent-management message that allows them to:

Give or refuse consent.
Select permitted processing purposes.
Review participating advertising providers.
Change or withdraw a previous choice.

Consent can be changed through the privacy or cookie settings provided on the website. You may also remove stored cookies through your browser, although doing so may reset your saved preferences.

Refusing optional cookies should not prevent access to Tonercom’s editorial content.

8. Comments

If comments are enabled and you leave a comment, we may collect the information entered in the comment form together with your IP address and browser information. This information may be used to display the comment, identify spam, investigate abuse, and protect the website.

Comments may remain visible for as long as the associated article is published unless they are removed for legal, privacy, moderation, or technical reasons.

Do not publish private or sensitive information in a public comment.

9. Contact Forms and Email

When you contact Tonercom, we use the information you provide to understand, review, and respond to your request.

Messages may be retained when reasonably necessary to:

Continue correspondence.
Document a correction or technical report.
Prevent abuse or repeated spam.
Protect legal rights.
Meet applicable record-keeping obligations.

Submitting a message does not create a contractual relationship and does not guarantee an individual technical diagnosis or response.

10. Service Providers and Disclosure

We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the website, including providers of:

Website hosting and content delivery.
Caching and performance services.
Website security and malware prevention.
Spam detection.
Contact-form and email delivery.
Advertising and consent management.
Technical maintenance and backup services.

These providers may process information only as necessary to deliver their services, comply with law, secure their systems, or protect their rights.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

Comply with a lawful request or legal obligation.
Investigate fraud, abuse, or a security incident.
Protect Tonercom, its users, or another person.
Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Complete a legitimate transfer of website ownership or operation, subject to appropriate safeguards.

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. However, some advertising-related disclosures may be treated as “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a “sale” under certain privacy laws. Where applicable, visitors may exercise the corresponding opt-out rights through the available privacy controls or by contacting us.

11. International Data Transfers

Tonercom is operated from Morocco, while some service providers may process information in other countries.

When information is transferred internationally, it may be subject to the laws of the country where it is processed. Where required, we rely on consent, contractual safeguards, adequacy mechanisms, or another legally recognized transfer basis.

12. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

The retention period depends on factors such as:

The nature of the information.
Whether a response or follow-up remains necessary.
Security and fraud-prevention requirements.
Technical backup cycles.
Applicable legal obligations.
The need to establish or defend legal claims.

Information that is no longer required is deleted, anonymized, or allowed to expire according to the relevant system’s retention process.

13. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. You should therefore avoid sending confidential or sensitive information unless it is necessary and an appropriate secure method is available.

14. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

Ask whether we process personal information about you.
Request access to your personal information.
Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
Request deletion of eligible information.
Restrict or object to certain processing.
Withdraw consent.
Request data portability where applicable.
Object to direct marketing.
Opt out of certain targeted advertising or data sharing.
Submit a complaint to the competent data-protection authority.

Rights may be subject to legal limitations and identity verification.

You may also contact Morocco’s Commission Nationale de contrôle de la protection des Données à caractère Personnel at:

https://www.cndp.ma/

Visitors protected by another jurisdiction may contact their local data-protection authority.

15. Children’s Privacy

Tonercom is a general technical information website and is not directed toward children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly request personal information from children. If you believe that a child has submitted personal information through the website, contact us so the situation can be reviewed and appropriate action taken.

16. External Links and Embedded Content

Articles may link to or embed content from external websites. Embedded videos, images, documents, or other content may behave as though you visited the external provider directly.

Third-party websites may collect information, use cookies, or track interactions according to their own policies. Tonercom does not control the privacy practices of independent external websites. Review their privacy information before submitting personal data.

17. Automated Decision-Making

Tonercom does not use information submitted through its contact channels to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

Advertising providers may use automated systems to select or measure advertisements, subject to applicable law, provider policies, and the visitor’s consent choices.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, service providers, legal obligations, or data-processing practices change.

The revised version will be published on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated through an appropriate website notice.
