Our Policy, Simply Stated
We believe in being upfront, and that includes your privacy. We run Guru on Time as a human-centered site, and we treat your data the way we treat our content: with respect and honesty.
Yes, this policy is required by law, and some of the language is a little technical. But here is the core truth: We don’t sell your personal data. We only collect the bare minimum needed to make the site work, measure what content is helpful, and sometimes show you relevant ads.
Here is a breakdown of what happens when you visit https://guruontime.com/.
1. The Information We Collect
We generally divide the data we collect into two categories:
A. Personal Identification Information (PII)
This is data you actively give us. We collect PII only when you volunteer it to us, usually through direct action.
- When you contact us: If you email us, we collect your name and email address so we can reply.
- When you comment: If we implement comments, we collect your name and email address to verify your comment and prevent spam.
We keep this information private.
B. Non-Personal Identification Information (Non-PII)
This is the non-specific, anonymous data that your browser sends automatically. We use it to understand how the site is working.
- What it includes: The type of browser you use, your operating system (like Windows or Mac), the time you spent on the site, and the pages you looked at.
- Why we collect it: We use this anonymous information to figure out what articles are popular and what needs fixing. It helps us publish more of the content you actually want to read.
2. How We Collect Data (Cookies and Analytics)
We use industry-standard tools to gather the Non-PII data mentioned above.
A. Browser Cookies
Yes, like nearly every website on the internet, we use cookies.
- What they are: Small files stored on your computer’s hard drive by your web browser. They track your movement across the site.
- What we use them for: Remembering simple preferences (like if you’ve dismissed a welcome banner) and tracking traffic anonymously via tools like Google Analytics. You can usually set your browser to refuse cookies, but some parts of the site might not work as smoothly.
B. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyze traffic. This tool provides Google with data about how you use our site. We rely on their anonymous reports to make content decisions.
3. How We Use Your Information
We collect data for the following specific and direct purposes:
- To Improve the Website: We constantly look at what pages perform well and what people skip over. This ensures the site remains relevant and helpful.
- To Respond to You: If you send us an email to
guruontime@gmail.com, we use your address to reply directly. - To Run Advertisements (Potentially): If we display ads in the future, your Non-PII data helps those ad services show you ads that are relevant to your interests, preventing you from seeing completely random or useless material.
4. Third-Party Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personal Identification Information to outside parties. Period.
However, we may share Non-PII data with trusted third-party partners who help us run the website or serve ads (like Google or ad networks). These partners are required to keep the information confidential and use it only for the stated purposes.
5. Your Rights and Control
You always maintain control over your PII:
- Opt-Out: If you want to stop receiving communications from us, just reply to any email and ask to be unsubscribed.
- Access and Deletion: If you have sent us PII and want to know what we have or want us to delete it entirely, email us directly. We will comply.
6. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)
Our site is aimed at a general adult audience interested in technology, travel, and personal growth. We do not knowingly collect Personal Identification Information from anyone under 13 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and realize your child has given us PII, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.
7. Policy Updates
The world changes, and so might this policy. When we update this document, we will change the “Last Updated” date at the top of the page. We encourage you to check back once in a while to see the latest version.
