Overview
Guitar Serial Lookup (“the site”) is a free tool for decoding guitar serial numbers. We are committed to being transparent about how the site works and what data is collected. The short version: we do not collect, store, or sell any personal information. Serial numbers you enter are processed entirely in your browser and are never transmitted to our servers.
Information We Do Not Collect
We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use this site. Serial numbers you enter into the decoder are processed locally in your browser using JavaScript. They are not sent to any server and are not logged or stored anywhere.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which brands are most commonly looked up and which pages are most visited. Google Analytics collects anonymised usage data including pages visited, time on site, general geographic region, and device type. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Cookies
Guitar Serial Lookup itself does not set cookies. Google Analytics sets its own cookies to function. These are third-party cookies governed by Google’s privacy policy. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect how some parts of the site behave.
Third-Party Links
Brand pages on this site include links to external resources such as manufacturer websites, forums, and communities. These sites have their own privacy policies and we have no control over their content or data practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external site you visit.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect any information from children. The site contains no user accounts, forms, or data submission of any kind.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
