Privacy policy
This policy explains what information is collected when you visit SmartQA Academy · Home Guides at home.smartqaacademy.com (the "site"), how it is used and the choices you have. We have tried to keep it short and readable.
Information we collect
- Server and security logs. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
- Analytics. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read. It does not use cookies or local storage, and it does not build profiles of individual visitors.
- Email. If you email us, we receive your address and whatever you include. We use it only to reply and to fix what you report.
- Advertising. The site may show ads served by Google AdSense, described below.
We don't ask you to create an account, and we don't sell or rent your personal information to anyone.
