Privacy Policy for ElevateWithB
Last Updated: July 23, 2026
ElevateWithB ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website elevatewithb.in (the "Website"). We are an educational blog run by Bhanu Prakash from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India, sharing free tutorials on cloud computing, cybersecurity, networking, and DevOps. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the choices and rights you have. By using this Website, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
We collect two kinds of information. The first is information you give us directly, such as your name, email address, and phone number when you use our contact form, join our WhatsApp community, or subscribe to updates. The second is information that is collected automatically when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring website, the pages you view, and the time and date of your visit. This automatic data is standard log and analytics information and does not, on its own, identify you personally.
Cookies and Analytics
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device that helps a website remember your visit. We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site, for example which tutorials are most popular and how long people stay. Google Analytics collects anonymous, aggregated data such as pages visited, time on site, approximate location, and device type. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. We may also use Microsoft Clarity to see anonymous, aggregated usage patterns (such as clicks and scrolls) so we can improve the layout of the site.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Necessary cookies keep the Website working and secure. These cannot be switched off.
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity) help us measure and improve the site. They are anonymous and aggregated.
- Advertising cookies (Google AdSense and its partners) may be used to show relevant ads and measure their performance.
Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting analytics and advertising cookies, and you can withdraw that consent at any time through the cookie settings on the Website.
Advertising
This Website may display advertisements served by Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google LLC. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Website or other websites on the internet. As a third-party vendor, Google uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your visits. These advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to serve personalised ads based on your browsing activity.
You may opt out of personalised advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. For more information on how Google uses data from sites that use its advertising services, see Google's Privacy & Terms. Third-party ad networks, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to measure ad performance and serve relevant ads. These technologies do not collect your name, address, email, or phone number.
Affiliate Links
Some posts on this Website contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link (such as Amazon Associates, Udemy, or similar programmes) and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships are clearly disclosed within the relevant post content, and in our Affiliate Disclosure. We only recommend products and services we believe are genuinely useful.
How We Use Your Information
- To respond to your inquiries sent through the contact form or WhatsApp
- To improve our website content, layout, and user experience
- To send occasional updates if you have subscribed
- To display relevant advertising and measure its performance
- To keep the Website secure and prevent misuse
Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law. Contact-form messages and subscription details are retained while your request is active or your subscription continues, and are deleted on request. Anonymous analytics data is retained according to the default settings of Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.
How We Protect Your Data
We use HTTPS encryption across the Website and apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Please note that no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Data Transfers
Some of the services we use, such as Google and Microsoft, may store and process data on servers located outside India. Where this happens, those providers are responsible for protecting your data in line with their own privacy policies and applicable data-protection laws.
Children's Privacy
This Website is intended for users aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Your Rights
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023 of India, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, to request deletion of your data, and to withdraw consent you have previously given. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@elevatewithb.in and we will respond within a reasonable time.
Third-Party Links
Our Website may contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of other websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit through our links.
