Effective date: November 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Dev Tech Hub (devtechhub.blog, “we”, “us” or “the site”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit the site. By using the site you agree to this policy.

Who we are

Dev Tech Hub is operated by Chandana Pushpakumara, based in Malta. For any privacy question, contact us at pushpakumara.chandana@gmail.com.

Information we collect

Information you give us

  • Comments: if you leave a comment, we store your name, email address, website (if provided), the comment text and your IP address. Your email address is not displayed publicly.
  • Contact messages: if you email us, we keep your message and contact details so we can reply.
  • Course accounts: if you register for a course on the site, we store your name, email address, username, and your course progress.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our servers and tools may record your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited and the date and time of the visit. We use this to keep the site secure, understand how it is used and improve it.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use cookies to remember your preferences, keep you logged in to course accounts, measure traffic and show advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the site may not work properly without them.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are most read. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as your IP address and pages viewed. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display ads on this site. Please note the following:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous 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.
  • You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
  • For more detail on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

We do not control the cookies or data collection of advertisers and cannot access their cookies.

Consent for visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before personalized ads or non-essential cookies are used, through a consent banner. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through [the cookie settings link in the footer].

How we use your information

  • To operate, maintain and secure the site
  • To reply to your messages and comments
  • To provide course accounts and track course progress
  • To analyze usage and improve content
  • To show advertising that helps fund the site
  • To meet legal obligations

Legal basis (GDPR)

Where GDPR applies, we process personal data based on your consent (cookies, personalized ads), our legitimate interests (security, analytics, improving the site), performance of a contract (course accounts), and legal obligation.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with service providers needed to run the site, such as our web host, Google (analytics and advertising) and email providers, and when required by law. These providers process data under their own privacy policies.

Third-party links

The site contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please read their policies.

Data retention

Comments are kept until you ask us to remove them. Contact messages are kept as long as needed to deal with your request. Course account data is kept while your account is active. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security purposes.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email pushpakumara.chandana@gmail.com. If you are in the EU, you also have the right to complain to your data protection authority; in Malta this is the Office of the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (IDPC).

Children’s privacy

The site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us, and we will delete it.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage on the internet is completely secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top shows when it was last revised, and significant changes will be announced on this page.
