1. Information We Collect

We limit data collection to what is necessary for security, analytics, and delivering our developer tools and tutorials:

• Voluntary Data: Information you choose to provide when contacting us via email or submitting contact forms (such as your name and email address).
• Log Files & Technical Identifiers: Standard server logs captured automatically by Google's hosting infrastructure (Blogger), including IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, date/time stamps, and referring URLs.
• Client-Side Storage: Browser `localStorage` used strictly for site functionality—such as remembering your dark/light theme preference (`vshub_theme`) and consent settings (`vshub_consent`).

2. Specified Third-Party Services & Advertising

We do not sell personal data. We partner exclusively with established third-party services for site monetization, analytics, and content infrastructure:

• Google AdSense & Advertising Cookies: Google and its partner ad networks serve advertisements on TheVsHub.in. Google uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie and advertising identifiers) to serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on your visit to this site and other websites across the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.
• Google Analytics & Blogger Stats: We use Google Analytics (Measurement ID: `G-E6TEM626NJ`) and Blogger statistics to understand site traffic patterns, popular articles, and user navigation. Collected metrics include anonymized IP addresses, browser specs, page interaction durations, and referral sources.
• Microsoft Clarity: We use Microsoft Clarity to view anonymized user interaction heatmaps and session patterns, helping us refine site navigation and tool layout. Review the Microsoft Privacy Statement for details.
• Google Cloud / Blogger Infrastructure: Hosted on Google's global Blogger network, ensuring high security and DDoS protection.

TheVsHub.in is a technical developer resource aimed at web developers, CS students, and technology enthusiasts. Our site is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in applicable jurisdictions), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.

If a parent or guardian discovers that a child under 13 has submitted personal information to us (e.g. via a contact form), please contact us immediately at thevshub.in@gmail.com, and we will promptly delete the data from our records.
