Last updated: September 4, 2026. This policy explains how SUASCENT handles information when you use suascent.com. SUASCENT is an independent automotive reference website.
Information handled by the site
Like most websites, the hosting server may record technical request data such as IP address, browser type, requested page, referring page, timestamp and response status. These logs are used to operate the site, investigate errors, prevent abuse and understand aggregate traffic.
If you send a message through the contact form, we receive the name, email address and message you provide. We use that information to answer the request and keep it only as long as reasonably needed for correspondence, security or legal obligations.
Cookies and local storage
The core manual pages do not require an account. The site or its service providers may use cookies or similar storage for security, consent preferences, aggregate measurement, search and advertising. Where consent is required, non-essential storage should not be activated before the relevant choice is recorded.
Search and third-party services
The search page may use a third-party search provider. A search request can therefore be processed under that provider's terms and privacy policy. External links lead to websites we do not control; their own privacy notices apply after you leave SUASCENT.
Advertising
SUASCENT may display advertising delivered by third-party networks, including Google. Advertising providers may process device and usage information to deliver, limit or measure ads. Depending on your region and consent choices, advertising may be personalized or non-personalized. You can review Google's explanation of how information is used on partner sites.
Legal bases and privacy rights
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, processing may rely on consent, performance of a requested service, compliance with law or a legitimate interest in operating and securing the website. Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict certain personal information, object to processing, or withdraw consent.
Data security and retention
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect the site and messages. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Logs and correspondence are retained only for operational, security, support and legal needs, then deleted or aggregated when they are no longer necessary.
Children
SUASCENT is a general automotive information resource and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly ask children to submit personal information.
Automotive and trademark notice
SUASCENT is not affiliated with or endorsed by Subaru Corporation or Subaru of America. Subaru, Ascent and related marks belong to their respective owners. The website organizes reference information but does not replace the official manual, recall notice, professional diagnosis or repair documentation for a specific vehicle.
Policy changes and contact
This policy may be updated when the website or its service providers change. The date above identifies the current version. For a privacy question or request, use the contact form.
