Privacy Policy

“Service”, “Website”, and “Platform” refer to Engineering Notes and the services made available through the website. “Personal Data” means information relating to an identified or identifiable person, such as a name, email address, contact information, or payment reference. “Controller” refers to the person or entity responsible for determining how and why personal data is processed.

We may collect information that you provide directly, such as your name, email address, and contact information. Depending on how you use the Service, we may also process payment references, payment methods, account identifiers, authentication-related information, IP addresses, browser or device information, timestamps, session information, and technical logs. We may also use aggregated or otherwise non-identifying information for analytics, reliability, and product improvement.

Personal data may be processed to create and manage accounts, provide subscriptions and resource access, verify payments, maintain security, prevent fraud or misuse, provide customer support, maintain and improve the Service, and comply with applicable legal obligations. Where consent is required by applicable law, we will request it for the relevant processing activity.

We do not intentionally store full payment-card credentials on Engineering Notes servers. Payment processing may be handled by third-party payment providers, banks, or other payment services. We may retain payment references, transaction identifiers, payment status, dates, amounts, and related metadata needed to verify purchases, maintain records, provide support, and resolve disputes. Please also review the privacy terms of the payment provider you use.

To protect users and the Service, we may monitor authentication events, sessions, account activity, and technical signals for suspicious or unauthorized activity. Depending on the systems in use, this may include IP addresses, device or browser characteristics, timestamps, session information, and related security logs. Where appropriate, suspicious activity may result in additional verification, temporary restrictions, suspension, or investigation.

Engineering Notes may use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, session management, security, preferences, and analytics where applicable. Disabling certain cookies may affect essential features such as login or account functionality. The use of third-party technologies, where applicable, is subject to the policies of those providers.

We do not sell personal data. Information may be shared with trusted service providers when necessary to operate the Service, such as hosting providers, authentication providers, payment processors, email providers, analytics providers, security services, or other infrastructure partners. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights, property, or safety of the Service and its users.

Some service providers or infrastructure used by Engineering Notes may process or store information outside Nepal. Where applicable, information may therefore be transferred to other countries or regions. Appropriate contractual, technical, or organizational safeguards should be used where required by applicable law.

Personal data should be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including account management, service delivery, payment records, security, dispute handling, and legal or accounting requirements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the applicable requirements. Specific retention periods should be determined by our actual operational and legal requirements.

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the ability to request access, correction, updating, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of certain data. You may also be entitled to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Contact us using the methods provided below to make a privacy request. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Depending on the system involved, these measures may include encrypted transmission, access controls, secure hosting, backups, security monitoring, and least-privilege practices. No online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Engineering Notes is not intentionally designed to collect personal information from children below the age permitted by applicable law without the required parental or guardian involvement. If you believe that personal information belonging to a child has been collected inappropriately, please contact us so that the matter can be reviewed and appropriate action can be taken.

If we become aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will assess the incident and take reasonable steps to contain, investigate, and remediate it. Where notification is required by applicable law, we will notify the relevant users or authorities within the applicable requirements.

Engineering Notes may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of external websites. Please review the relevant third-party privacy policies before submitting personal information to them.

For privacy questions, access or deletion requests, account-data questions, or other privacy concerns, please contact us. Please include enough information for us to understand and verify your request. If Engineering Notes formally designates a Data Protection Officer or equivalent privacy contact, the applicable contact details will be listed here.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, operations, or applicable requirements. Material changes should be accompanied by an updated effective date or other appropriate notice. Continued use of the Service after an updated policy becomes effective means that you acknowledge the revised policy to the extent permitted by applicable law.

This Privacy Policy is intended to be interpreted in accordance with the applicable laws of Nepal, subject to any mandatory legal rights that may apply to you. Any dispute relating to this policy will be handled according to the applicable legal framework.
