Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 September 2026

Welcome to TechHacks101 (“we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit https://techhacks101.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this policy.

1. Information We Collect

a) Information You Provide Directly

Contact form submissions: When you use our Contact page, we collect your name, email address, and any message content you submit.
Comments: When you leave a comment on a post, we collect the name, email address, and website (optional) you provide, along with your comment text and the IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

b) Information Collected Automatically

Log data: Like most websites, our server automatically logs standard information such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, and pages visited.
Cookies: We use cookies to remember your preferences, keep track of session information, and understand how visitors use the Site. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some site features may not work properly as a result.
Analytics: We use Google Site Kit, which integrates Google Analytics, to understand how visitors interact with our content (pages viewed, time on site, general location, device type). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this data. You can learn more about how Google uses this information at policies.google.com/privacy.

c) Embedded Content

Articles on this Site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, tweets, or other media). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website directly, and these third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Respond to inquiries submitted through our Contact page
Moderate and display comments on blog posts
Analyze site traffic and improve our content and user experience
Detect and prevent spam or abusive activity
Comply with legal obligations

3. Cookies and Advertising

We may use third-party advertising and affiliate partners on this Site, including Google AdSense and affiliate programs such as Amazon Associates.

Advertising cookies: Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
Affiliate links: Some posts may contain affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. We only recommend products or services we believe add value to our readers. Where affiliate links are used, we will disclose this within the relevant post.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with:

Service providers who help us operate the Site (e.g., hosting, analytics, spam filtering)
Google (via Site Kit, Analytics, and, where applicable, AdSense)
Legal authorities, if required by law or to protect our rights

5. Data Retention

Comment data (and associated metadata) is retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to and resolve your inquiry.
Analytics data is retained according to Google’s default retention settings, which you can review in your own Google Analytics account documentation.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

Request access to the personal data we hold about you
Request correction or deletion of your data
Object to or restrict certain processing
Withdraw consent for cookies at any time via your browser settings

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below.

7. Children’s Privacy

This Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
