Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-09-16

This Privacy Policy explains how Smart Study Books ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit smartstudybooks.com (the "Site"). We built this catalogue to be usable without an account, and we keep the data we collect to a minimum.

Information we collect

  • Usage data. Standard technical information such as pages viewed, approximate location (country/city level, from IP address), browser type and referring site, collected automatically via server logs and analytics cookies.
  • Information you provide. If you use the Contact page or message us on WhatsApp, we receive whatever you choose to send — typically your name and message content.
  • No account data. Smart Study Books does not require registration, so we do not hold passwords, saved payment details, or user profiles.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use a small number of cookies to run the site and to support advertising that keeps it free. These fall into three categories: essential cookies (required for the site to function), analytics cookies (to understand how the catalogue is used, in aggregate), and advertising cookies (described below). Full detail, including how to control cookies in your browser, is in our Cookie Policy.

Google AdSense and advertising

Smart Study Books displays advertising served by Google AdSense to keep the catalogue free to use. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info/choices. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s prior visits to this website or other websites.

Children's privacy

Smart Study Books is intended for general audiences including students, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. We do not require any account creation, and no personal details are needed to browse or read a resource. Advertising shown via Google AdSense follows Google's own policies for treating traffic appropriately, including on content that may be accessed by a mixed-age audience.

How we use information

We use the information above to operate and improve the catalogue, respond to messages, understand which resources are useful (in aggregate, not per-visitor), keep the site secure, and display advertising. We do not sell personal information.

Data retention

Server and analytics logs are retained only as long as needed for security and site-improvement purposes and are then deleted or aggregated. Messages sent via the Contact page or WhatsApp are kept only as long as needed to resolve your request.

Your choices

  • Control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.
  • Opt out of personalised advertising via Google Ads Settings.
  • Ask us what information we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, via our Contact page.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Site or applicable law. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
