We collect as little personal information as we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information we collect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information you send us<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and the contents of your message. We use this only to reply to you and to deal with your request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Usage information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use Google Analytics, through the Google Site Kit plugin, to understand how the website is used: for example, which pages are visited, how visitors arrive, and general information about devices, browsers and approximate location (such as country or city). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this information. We use it in aggregate to improve the website, not to identify individual visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Article view counts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We count how many times each article is viewed so that we can show popular articles. Only a running total is stored for each article; no personal information is stored with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information stored on your device<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some features, such as remembering which exam you have chosen or your progress in quizzes, save small pieces of information in your browser&#8217;s local storage. This information stays on your device; it is not sent to us. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Server logs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like most websites, our hosting provider&#8217;s servers automatically record technical information such as IP addresses, browser type and the pages requested. These logs are used to keep the website secure and working properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How we use information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>to operate, maintain and improve the website<\/li>\n\n<li>to understand which content is useful to readers<\/li>\n\n<li>to reply to messages and correction requests<\/li>\n\n<li>to keep the website secure and prevent misuse<\/li>\n\n<li>to meet legal obligations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do not sell your personal information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sharing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We share information only with service providers that help us run the website, such as our hosting provider and Google for analytics, and only as needed for those services; and where required by law. Google&#8217;s use of data is described in its own privacy policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cookies and your choices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. The website will still work, although we will not be able to measure usage as accurately.<\/li>\n\n<li>You can opt out of Google Analytics across websites by using Google&#8217;s browser add-on for that purpose.<\/li>\n\n<li>You can clear information saved in local storage through your browser settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This website does not currently show advertising. If that changes, we will update this policy before it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Retention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We keep emails for as long as needed to deal with your request and for a reasonable period afterwards. Analytics data is kept according to the retention settings of our Google Analytics account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your rights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on where you live, and subject to applicable law, including India&#8217;s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may have the right to ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you. To make a request, email us at <a href=\"mailto:thenoviq.team@gmail.com\">thenoviq.team@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NOVIQ is an educational website and is open to readers of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Links to other websites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our articles link to official websites and other sources. Those websites have their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The NOVIQ app<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This policy covers this website. If you use the NOVIQ mobile app, please also read the privacy information provided with the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changes to this policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may update this policy from time to time.
