Last updated: September 9, 2026

PYQHub ("we", "us", "our") operates pyqhub.co.in (the "Site"), a free platform that helps Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU) students find previous year question papers, handwritten notes, and syllabus material. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Information you provide directly: If you submit a student review, we collect the name, star rating, and message you enter. If you contact us through the Contact Us page, we collect the details you submit (such as your name, email address, and message).
• Chatbot interactions: Messages you send through the on-site chatbot, and any file you choose to attach to a chat message.
• Automatically collected information: Like most websites, we may automatically log standard technical data such as browser type, device type, pages visited, and approximate location (derived from IP address), typically through analytics and advertising services described below.
• Local storage preferences: We store your light/dark theme preference in your browser's local storage. This stays on your device and is not sent to our servers.

2. How We Use Information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its features.
• To display student reviews on the homepage.
• To respond to messages sent through the Contact Us page or chatbot.
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, spam, or misuse.
• To serve advertising, as described in Section 4 below.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site uses cookies and browser local storage for core functionality (such as remembering your theme preference) and, where applicable, for advertising purposes through Google AdSense. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; note that some parts of the Site may not function correctly if cookies are disabled.

4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses 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 ads based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.

5. Third-Party Services

The Site loads resources from third-party providers, including Google Fonts, Font Awesome, Tailwind CSS (via CDN), and jsDelivr (for chatbot emoji support). These providers may process limited technical data (such as your IP address) as part of delivering these resources. We do not control these third parties' data practices; please refer to their respective privacy policies for details.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate the Site (such as hosting providers), or when required by law.

7. Data Retention

We retain information such as reviews and contact messages for as long as needed to provide the Site's features or as required for legitimate business or legal purposes. You may request deletion of your submitted information by contacting us (see Section 9).
