AskQustion.in (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates a community question-and-answer platform, together with a blog, at askqustion.in (the “Service”). This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.

1Information We Collect

Account information. When you sign up, we collect your username, email address, and a securely hashed password. If you sign in with Google instead, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from your Google account.

Content you provide. Questions, answers, comments, votes, and any images or files you attach are stored and shown publicly as part of the Service.

Automatically collected information. Like most websites, we log your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and general usage data through cookies and similar technologies.

2How We Use Your Information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the Service
• To create your account and verify your identity
• To generate AI-assisted answers and content
• To send service-related emails, such as verification links
• To detect, prevent, and address spam, abuse, or technical issues
• To show relevant advertising and measure site traffic

3Cookies & Third-Party Services

We use a small number of trusted third-party services to run the Service. Each may set its own cookies or process data under its own privacy policy:

You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though parts of the Service may not work correctly without them.

4How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers listed above (to operate the Service), when required by law, to protect our rights, or as part of a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.

5Your Rights & Choices

You can access, correct, or delete your account information at any time from your profile settings, or by contacting us directly. You can also ask what personal data we hold about you, or request its deletion, subject to any legal obligations we have to retain certain records.

6Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we remove or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable time, except where we’re required to keep it for legal or security reasons.

7Children’s Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.

8Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect as soon as they’re posted on this page, and we’ll update the “Last updated” date above. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
