Boxster 986 / 911 996 is an independent owner-built archive for Porsche 986 Boxster and 996 911 enthusiasts. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Porsche AG or Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche Aktiengesellschaft. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit the site and the choices available to you.

You can browse almost every page without an account. We only receive personal information you choose to give: an email address and optional name when you subscribe to the build wire, and the name, car details, text and photographs you submit to the garage, build log, forum, install guides, challenge, parts exchange or reviews. Listing submissions also include an optional seller email so buyers can reach you.

Submitted content is stored in our application database and shown publicly where the section is public. Do not submit anything you are not happy to see published.

Cookies and similar technologies are used to keep you signed in where accounts are supported, and to understand how the archive is used. Aggregate analytics are collected through Google Analytics (measurement ID G-4TWFVYJSNK), which records pages visited, approximate location from your IP address, referring source, device and browser type.

You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect sign-in and saved preferences.

This site is supported by advertising. Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. Opting out does not remove ads; it means the ads you see are not tailored to your prior browsing.

Advertising is only placed on editorial and archive content pages. It is never loaded on account, profile, submission, checkout or other transactional screens.

Information is used to operate the archive: publishing your garage entries, build log posts, threads and listings; sending the build wire newsletter if you asked for it; moderating submissions; and measuring which pages and articles are useful. Information is not sold.

Data is processed by the service providers that run this site (application hosting, database and email delivery) and by the analytics and advertising providers described above. Content you submit to public sections of the site is visible to anyone.

Submissions are kept for as long as they remain published or until you ask for them to be removed. You can request a copy of the information held about you, ask for corrections, or ask for your contributions and newsletter subscription to be deleted by using the contact page. Newsletter emails also include a way to unsubscribe.

This site is intended for adults. It is not directed at children under 13, and no personal information is knowingly collected from them.

If this policy changes, the updated version appears on this page. Questions about privacy or data removal can be sent through the contact page.
