Privacy policy

We collect as little personal information as possible. You can read every article on QuickOnlineTips without creating an account or giving us your name or email address.

Information we collect

Usage and device information. When you visit, our analytics tool and web server record technical details such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, pages visited, the page that referred you, and the date and time of your visit. We use this to understand which guides are useful, fix problems and keep the site secure.
Comments. If you leave a comment, we collect the name, email address and optional website you enter, along with your comment, IP address and browser details. Your email address is never shown publicly. Comments are checked for spam, and comments containing links are held for manual approval.
Messages you send us. If you contact us by email or through our contact form, we receive your name, email address, any link you include and your message, along with your IP address for spam protection. Contact form messages are stored securely in our website dashboard. We use this information only to reply and to handle your request.
Newsletter. If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we collect your email address to send you new and updated guides. We use a double opt-in, so you are only added after confirming. Every email has an unsubscribe link.

How we use information

We use the information above to run and improve the site, publish and moderate comments, reply to messages, send newsletters you asked for, measure traffic, prevent spam and abuse, and, where applicable, show advertising. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone except the service providers listed below, or where the law requires it.

Service providers we use

Hostinger hosts the website and its content delivery network (CDN), which process server logs, including IP addresses, to deliver pages and protect the site.
Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC) measures site traffic using cookies. Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Gravatar (Automattic) may display a profile picture next to your comment. To do this, an anonymised string created from your email address (a hash) is sent to Gravatar. See the Automattic privacy policy.
Jetpack VaultPress Backup (Automattic) stores secure backup copies of the site, which include published comments.
Antispam Bee filters comment spam on our own server.
Google AdSense and other ad networks, when ads are shown. See Advertising below.

Embedded content and links

Articles may include embedded content such as YouTube videos. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the other website, which may collect data about you, use cookies and track your interaction with that content. Our social share buttons are plain links: they load no scripts and do not track you until you click them. Links to other websites are provided for your convenience, and we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

How long we keep information

Comments and their details are kept as long as the comment is published, so we can recognise and approve follow-up comments. Emails and contact form messages are kept as long as needed to deal with your message. Analytics data is kept according to our Google Analytics retention settings. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Server logs and backups are kept for limited periods by our hosting and backup providers.

Children

QuickOnlineTips is a general tech site that is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please email us and we will delete it.

Security and international visitors

The site is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection, and we use reasonable measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. QOT is run from India, and our service providers may process data in India, the United States and other countries.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. This site uses:

Essential cookies that make the site work, for example to remember your name and email in the comment form if you choose to, or to keep logged-in administrators signed in.
Analytics cookies from Google Analytics, to count visits and see how pages are used.
Advertising cookies from Google and other ad vendors, when ads are shown, as described below.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Most of the site will still work, but some features, such as remembered comment details, may not. Where the law requires it, for example for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we will ask for your consent before setting advertising cookies, using a consent management tool.

Advertising

QuickOnlineTips is free to read and is supported by advertising and affiliate commissions. We use, or may use, Google AdSense to show ads, and we may also show ads from other advertising networks and direct advertisers, such as web hosting companies.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you 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. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu (for Europe).
Learn more about how Google uses cookies in advertising.

If we work with other ad networks, we will list them here with links to their websites and opt-out pages. Advertisers do not control or influence our editorial content. We do not publish paid posts, sponsored guest posts or paid links.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on QuickOnlineTips are affiliate links. If you click one and then buy a product or sign up for a service, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These commissions help keep the site free.

We currently participate in affiliate programs including Amazon (Amazon Associates, including Amazon.in), Semrush and Hostinger, and we may join others in the future. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

We only recommend products and services we have used, tested or researched, and our opinions are our own. A commission never decides whether we recommend something or how we review it. Prices, features and offers can change at any time, so please check the seller’s website before buying.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, including under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the EU and UK GDPR, you may have the right to:

access the personal information we hold about you;
correct information that is wrong or incomplete;
ask us to delete your information, including your comments;
withdraw consent you have given, for example by unsubscribing from the newsletter or changing your cookie choices;
object to or restrict certain processing; and
complain to your local data protection authority.

To make a request, or to raise any privacy concern or grievance, email editor@quickonlinetips.com with “Privacy request” in the subject line. Tell us what you would like us to do and, for comments, the post and the name and email used. We may need to confirm your identity first. We aim to respond within 30 days.

Where the GDPR applies, we process data on the basis of your consent (for example, newsletters and advertising cookies), our legitimate interests in running, securing and improving the site (for example, server logs, spam checks and analytics where permitted), and our legal obligations.

Disclaimer

The articles on QuickOnlineTips are written for general information and education. We work hard to test our guides and keep them accurate and up to date, but technology, apps, prices and rules change often, and we cannot guarantee that every detail is complete, current or correct.

Use at your own risk. All content is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. You are responsible for how you use the information, so back up your data and devices before making changes to software, settings, websites or servers. To the fullest extent permitted by law, QuickOnlineTips and its authors are not liable for any loss or damage arising from the use of this site or its content.
Not professional advice. Nothing on this site is financial, investment, tax, legal, security or medical advice. Articles about money, taxes, apps or online services are general information only. Please consult a qualified professional before making decisions.
Opinions. Articles reflect the author’s views at the time of writing, which may change. Articles by guest authors reflect their own views.

Third-party sites. We link to other websites and tools that we think are useful, but we do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability, products or privacy practices.

How we use AI

We use AI tools to help research, write and update some of our articles, especially when refreshing older guides for current versions of apps and websites. Our editor guides this work and is responsible for everything we publish.

AI tools can make mistakes, for example by getting a step, setting, price or detail wrong, or by describing a feature that has since changed. We work to check our guides, but errors can still slip through. Please double-check important information with the official source before relying on it, and if you spot a mistake, let us know so we can fix it quickly.
