Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information TechKnowvia ("we", "us", "our") collects when you visit https://www.techknowvia.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. It should be read alongside our Cookie Policy. This page is provided for general information and is not legal advice.

Who we are

TechKnowvia is an independent publisher of technology guides and reviews. You can reach us at hello@techknowvia.com with any privacy questions or requests.

Information we collect

We do not require you to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect personal information beyond what you choose to send us (for example, if you email us or use the contact form, we receive your name, email address, and message). Our hosting provider and the third-party services described below may automatically collect standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device, referring page, and the pages you view.

How we use information

We use the limited information we collect to respond to your messages, to understand how the site is used so we can improve our content, to display advertising, and to keep the site secure and working correctly.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site function, analytics, and advertising. For a full explanation of the cookies we use and how to control them, see our Cookie Policy. In regions that require it, a consent banner asks for your choices before non-essential cookies are set.

Google AdSense and advertising

We intend to display ads through Google AdSense. When advertising is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve personalized ads to you based on your visits to our site and others.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. For visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, we use a consent management platform to collect consent for advertising and measurement, consistent with Google's requirements.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate, such as which articles are popular and how people find us. Google Analytics sets cookies and processes data on our behalf. We use this data to improve our content; we do not use it to identify individual visitors. You can learn more from Google's Privacy Policy.

Affiliate links

Some outbound links are affiliate links. When you click one, the destination site may set a cookie to attribute any resulting sign-up or purchase to us. This does not change the price you pay. See our affiliate disclosure for details.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share limited data only with the service providers that help us run the site, such as our hosting provider, Google (for analytics and advertising), and any contact-form provider we use. These providers process data under their own privacy terms.

Data retention

We keep contact messages only as long as needed to respond and maintain our records. Analytics and advertising data are retained according to the providers' policies.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR in the EEA/UK or the CCPA in California), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of personal data we hold about you, and to withdraw consent. To make a request, email us at hello@techknowvia.com.

Children's privacy

This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
