Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Welcome to RehbarNova.com ("we", "our", "the Site"). RehbarNova is a free educational website for Karnataka State Board students (Class 8–10) and teachers, offering chapter notes, quizzes and teaching resources in Urdu and English. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use the Site and how it is used.

1. Information We Collect

  • Contact form: your name, email address and message, used only to reply to you.
  • School / Teacher / Team Quiz features: if you enter a school name, teacher name or team names (for example for branded printing or the Team Quiz game), these details and the resulting scores may be stored on our server so we can understand how the Site is used.
  • Stored in your own browser: bookmarks, recently viewed lessons and your light/dark mode preference are saved in your browser's local storage and are not sent to our server.
  • Automatically collected data: like most websites, our hosting servers and analytics or advertising partners may collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited and time of visit.

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 usage patterns and keep the Site secure.
  • To display advertisements that help keep the Site free (see sections 3 and 4).

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. The Site and its third-party partners may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic and show advertising. You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may not work correctly if cookies are disabled.

4. Advertising and Third-Party Vendors (Google AdSense)

We may display advertisements served by third parties, including Google. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.

These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we do not control their cookies or data practices.

5. Third-Party Services and Links

To provide some features (for example generating a result image or PDF), the Site loads open-source scripts from public content delivery networks such as cdnjs. The Site may also link to external websites; we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

6. Children's Privacy

The Site is designed for students and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information (such as phone number or home address) from children. Please do not enter such information in any form or quiz field. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will remove it.

7. Data Retention and Your Rights

We keep contact messages and usage records only as long as needed for the purposes above. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time using our Contact Us page. Depending on where you live (for example under GDPR or CCPA), you may have additional rights, including opting out of the sale or sharing of personal data.

8. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information on our servers, but no method of transmission or storage over the Internet is completely secure.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page, with the "Last updated" date above.
