Privacy Policy

GJU PYQ Hub ("we", "us") is a free, account-free search engine for previous year question papers. This page explains what data we collect, how it is used, and how third-party services like Google AdSense may use cookies when you visit the site.

No accounts, no personal data by default

There is no login or signup anywhere on the public site. We do not ask for your name, email, or phone number to search or download papers. The "Submit a Paper" and "Request a Paper" forms only collect academic details (course, semester, subject, year) and, for submissions, the PDF file itself — never personal contact information.

Data we do collect

• Anonymous usage counters — page views and download counts for each paper, used only to show "most downloaded" and similar stats.
• Anonymous visit statistics — one record per visit with the pages viewed, how long the tab was open, device type, browser, operating system, screen size, the site you came from, your approximate city and country (worked out by our host from your connection — your IP address is not stored), which course/semester/subject filters you used, which papers you downloaded, how far you scrolled, and whether this browser has visited before. We do not record your IP address, name, email, phone number or what you search for. A random visit ID is kept in your browser until you close the tab, and a small visit counter stays on your device so we can tell new from returning visitors. If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we record nothing.
• Your theme preference (light/dark), stored locally in your browser, never sent to us.
• Standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested) kept briefly by our hosting provider for security and performance.
