Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

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, we store your name, WhatsApp number and the paper details you entered on our server. We use them only to add the paper and tell you when it's available, and we don't share them with anyone.
• Anonymous usage statistics: We record which pages are opened and which links are clicked, without your name, IP address or any other personal detail, to understand which papers students need most.
• 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 cookies. Third-party services used on our site may set their own:

• Third-party advertising: Google AdSense and the configured Adsterra ad network may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads. Their data practices are governed by their own policies.
• Google Tag Manager: We use Google Tag Manager to load site measurement tags. Google may set cookies as described in its privacy policy.
• Google Drive: Paper PDFs may be shown from Google Drive. When you view one, Google may set cookies under its own policy.
• localStorage: We use browser localStorage (not cookies) to remember your dark mode preference. This 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

PaperHouse uses Google AdSense and Adsterra advertising scripts (served from bauval.org) to display advertisements. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads, and may collect information such as browser or device details and ad interactions. Some ad formats may open third-party pages.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You may also opt out of third-party vendor cookies by visiting www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

PaperHouse does not have access to or control over cookies set by these advertising providers. Google's use of data is subject to Google's Privacy Policy; please review each provider's privacy information for its own data practices.

5. Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to external websites (such as ustad360.com, our source for papers we have not uploaded yet). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these third-party sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

6. Data Security

The only personal data we store is what you enter in the paper request form. It is kept in a secured database, accessible only to the PaperHouse team. Email us at any time to have your request deleted.

7. Children's Privacy

PaperHouse is an educational resource primarily used by students, including those under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Our service requires no registration and collects no personal data on our servers.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
