Information we may collect
Information you provide
If you email us or use a contact form, we receive the details you send (name, email address, message content). We use that information only to respond or to improve articles when you report errors.
Automatically collected information
Like most websites, we and our service providers may collect:
- IP address (often truncated or processed by analytics/ad partners)
- Browser type, device type, and approximate location derived from IP
- Pages viewed, referring URL, and timestamps
- Cookie and similar technology identifiers
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data through our how‑to pages.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Hiektec.in may use:
- Essential cookies — required for basic site function and security
- Analytics cookies — to understand which guides are useful (for example page views)
- Advertising cookies — if Google AdSense or similar partners are enabled, to serve and measure ads
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may break some site features.
Google AdSense and advertising
We may use Google AdSense (and related Google advertising services) to show ads. Google and its partners may use cookies or device identifiers to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites.
- Learn how Google uses data: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
- Manage ad personalization: Google Ads Settings — https://adssettings.google.com/
You may also visit https://www.aboutads.info (where available) for broader industry opt‑out tools. Opt‑outs are device/browser specific.
Third‑party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to Hiektec.in and/or other sites on the internet.
Analytics
We may use privacy‑oriented or standard analytics (for example Google Analytics, if enabled) to see aggregate traffic. Analytics providers process data under their own policies. Where required, we configure IP anonymization or similar controls offered by the tool.
How we use information
- To operate and secure the website
- To respond to messages you send
- To measure content performance and fix broken guides
- To display ads (if AdSense is active) and understand ad performance
- To comply with applicable law
We do not sell your personal information as a business model. Advertising partners may process data as independent controllers under their policies when ads are shown.
Legal bases / compliance note (India‑focused)
We process limited technical and contact data to run a legitimate online publication, answer your requests, and (where ads are enabled) fund the site. If Indian data protection rules applicable to us require additional notices or consent for certain cookies, we will update this page and any cookie banner accordingly.
If you are outside India, local laws may give you extra rights; contact us and we will work with you in good faith.
Data retention
Contact emails are kept as long as needed to handle your request and basic record‑keeping, then deleted or archived. Server and analytics logs are retained according to host/analytics defaults unless we configure shorter periods.
Sharing of information
We share data with:
- Hosting / CDN / email providers who process data on our behalf
- Analytics and advertising partners (for example Google) when those features are enabled
- Authorities when legally required
We do not rent email lists.
Children’s privacy
Hiektec.in is a general tech audience site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under the age required by local law). If you believe a child provided personal data, contact contact@hiektec.in and we will delete it when feasible.
Your choices and rights
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, or deletion of personal data you sent us, or object to certain processing. Email contact@hiektec.in with the subject line Privacy request.
For ad personalization controls, use Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com/
Browser cookie controls remain available regardless.
External links
Our articles may link to Microsoft, Google, device makers, or other official support pages. Their privacy practices are their own. Read their policies when you leave Hiektec.in.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate for a small publishing site (HTTPS, limited admin access). No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy. The Last updated date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after updates means you acknowledge the revised policy.
