This Privacy Policy explains how Laravel (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you access our website at https://brodl.org (the “Service”). The Service publishes firmware/software update information organized by brand and model, including update details and links to third-party sources.
Important: Installing firmware/software updates can carry risk (including data loss or device malfunction). Always verify compatibility, follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and back up important data before applying updates.
