Repair Guide is a general-audience website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, consistent with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

What this means

  • You can read every guide without an account or sign-up.
  • The only way we receive personal information is through the contact form. Children under 13 should not use it.
  • We do not use analytics, advertising trackers, or behavioural advertising, so no profiles are built of any visitor, including children.

Safety note for younger readers

Many repairs involve electricity, batteries, heat, or gas. Young people should only try a repair with a parent, guardian, or another responsible adult present, and should never open a device that plugs into the wall.

If a child has contacted us

If you believe a child under 13 has sent us personal information, please tell us through the contact form (/contact?subject=Privacy%20request) and choose "Privacy request." We will delete the information promptly.
