Privacy Policy

MadrasAI ("we", "our", "us") operates madrasai.in. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Information you provide: your name and email address when you create an account, subscribe to our newsletter, post a comment, or contact us. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google.

Information collected automatically: standard server logs including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring URLs. Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how the site is used.

Chat assistant: messages you send to our on-site chat assistant are processed by a third-party AI provider (OpenAI) to generate responses. Do not share sensitive personal information in the chat.

How we use information

We use your information to operate and improve the site, deliver the newsletter you subscribed to, display your comments, respond to enquiries, secure the site against abuse, and analyse aggregate usage patterns.

Advertising and analytics

We may display advertising served by third parties, including Google AdSense. 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 ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help us operate the site (such as hosting, email delivery, and the AI chat provider), when required by law, or to protect our rights and users.

Data retention and security

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above. We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect it, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and you can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. To exercise these rights, reach us via the contact page.

Children

The site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above.
