At PolyQP Online (accessible at https://polyqp.online/), we believe in keeping access to open educational resources friction-free. We do not require account sign-ups, login credentials, or phone numbers to browse or download question papers.

This Privacy Policy document explains what minimal information is collected or processed when you visit our website, and how that information is utilized.

1. Information We Collect

• Direct Correspondence: If you reach out to us via email or our contact form, we collect the details you provide voluntarily (such as your name, email address, and query context) solely to reply to your inquiry.
• Log Files & Analytics: Like most standard web platforms, our hosting server logs basic technical data when files are requested. This includes IP addresses, browser types, referring pages, and access timestamps to detect malicious attacks, maintain server stability, and prevent automated scraping abuse.

2. Cookies & Local Browser Storage

PolyQP Online uses standard browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) for client-side user experience preferences only:

• Theme Mode: Saving whether you selected Dark Mode or Light Mode.
• Disclaimer & Modal State: Ensuring dismissible popups (such as the initial disclaimer) do not repeatedly interrupt you on every reload during a browsing session.

These items are stored locally in your browser and are never transmitted to our servers or cross-referenced with your personal identity.

3. Third-Party Advertising & CDNs

To cover cloud infrastructure, domain renewal, and bandwidth costs, we may serve non-intrusive advertisements via third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense).

• Third-party ad networks and vendors, including Google, use cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve relevant advertisements based on a user's prior visits to this website or other sites across the internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• We also utilize trusted Content Delivery Networks (Tailwind CDN, Lucide Icons, Google Fonts) to deliver scripts and stylesheets securely and rapidly.

4. Children's Information

PolyQP Online is an academic revision hub aimed at polytechnic college students. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13.
