1. Introduction
Welcome to DevRoadmap ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website at devroadmap.dev, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it. Please read it carefully.
By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways: information you provide to us directly, and information that is collected automatically when you use our website.
Information you provide directly includes your name and email address when you use our contact form, and any message content you submit. We do not require account registration and do not collect payment information of any kind.
Information collected automatically includes standard log data such as your IP address, browser type, referring pages, and the time and date of your visit. This is collected automatically by web servers and is standard practice across virtually every website on the internet. We also use Google Analytics and Google AdSense, which use cookies to collect anonymized data about how visitors use our site and to serve relevant advertisements. This is described in more detail in Section 4 below.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes: to respond to your contact form submissions, to understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it, and to serve relevant advertising through Google AdSense. We do not sell your personal information to any third party under any circumstances. We do not use your information for email marketing unless you have explicitly opted in.
4. Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies
This is the most important section for understanding how advertising on this site works. Please read it carefully.
DevRoadmap uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense is a service provided by Google LLC. When you visit pages on our website that contain AdSense ads, Google uses cookies — small text files stored in your browser — to show you advertisements that are relevant to your interests based on your browsing history across the web.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings page. You can also opt out through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
For more information about how Google uses data from sites that use its services, visit How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.
5. Cookies
Cookies are small data files placed on your browser when you visit a website. Our website uses cookies for the following purposes: analytics (understanding aggregate traffic patterns via Google Analytics), advertising (serving relevant ads via Google AdSense), and basic functionality (such as remembering your preferences).
You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our site. Most browsers allow you to manage cookie preferences through their settings menus.
6. Third-Party Links
Our website contains links to other websites — including to external courses, documentation, and tools. Once you click on a link and leave our site, we have no control over what happens on that third-party site, and this Privacy Policy does not apply. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every website you visit.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information you provide through our contact form, including using secure HTTPS connections for all data transmission. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
8. Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete that information.
9. Your Rights
Depending on where you are located, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in Section 11 below.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new policy.
11. Contact Us
