Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 28, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how EnglishNotes.net ("we," "us," "our") handles information when you visit englishnotes.net (the "Site"). We built this Site to be usable without an account, and we aim to collect as little personal information as reasonably possible.

1. Information we collect

1.1 Information you provide directly

If you contact us through the contact form or email, we receive the information you choose to share — such as your name, email address, and message content.

1.2 Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we may automatically collect limited technical data through standard web server logs and analytics tools, which can include: approximate location (derived from IP address), browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This is used in aggregate to understand how the Site is used and to improve it — not to identify you individually.

1.3 Cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies for basic site functionality, analytics, and (if enabled) advertising. See our Cookie Policy for details.

2. How we use information

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content
  • To respond to messages sent through the contact form
  • To understand aggregate usage patterns (e.g. which notes are most read)
  • To display advertising, where applicable, including through third-party ad networks
  • To detect and prevent misuse, fraud, or security issues

3. Advertising and third-party services

We may work with third-party advertising and analytics providers (for example, ad networks or analytics platforms) that use cookies or similar technologies to serve relevant ads and measure Site performance. These third parties may collect information about your visits to this and other websites. We do not control these third parties' own data practices; please review their respective privacy policies for details.

4. How we share information

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

  • Service providers who help us operate the Site (e.g. hosting, analytics, email delivery)
  • Advertising partners, in aggregated or pseudonymised form, where applicable
  • Authorities, where required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of the Site, our users, or the public

5. Data retention

We retain contact-form messages only as long as needed to respond to and resolve your inquiry, and aggregate analytics data for a reasonable period to understand usage trends.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information (for example, under the GDPR in the EU/UK, or the CCPA/CPRA in California). To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email below.

7. Children's privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from young children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

8. International users

EnglishNotes.net is intended for a global audience, and information may be processed or stored in countries other than your own. By using the Site, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in such countries.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
