Welcome to PaperHouse (پیپر ہاؤس). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website. PaperHouse is a free educational resource for Pakistani students and is committed to protecting your privacy.
2. Information We Collect
PaperHouse is designed to work without requiring any personal information. Specifically:
- No account required: We do not ask you to create an account or provide an email address to use our service.
- Request form data: If you submit a paper request, your name, WhatsApp number, and requested paper details are stored locally in your browser (localStorage) only. This data is never transmitted to our servers.
- Dark mode preference: Your theme preference is stored locally in your browser to remember your setting between visits.
3. Cookies Policy
PaperHouse itself does not set any cookies. However, third-party services used on our site may set cookies:
- Google AdSense: Google may set cookies to serve personalized advertisements based on your browsing history. These cookies are governed by Google's own privacy policy.
- localStorage: We use browser localStorage (not cookies) to store your dark mode preference and any paper request data you submit. This data never leaves your device.
You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some third-party services on our site.
4. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)
PaperHouse uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other websites.
