Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 April 2026

This policy explains what information may be collected, why it is used, how it may be shared, and how users can contact us about privacy questions.

Plain-language summary

We collect limited information needed to run an educational website, send updates when requested, support purchases/downloads, protect the service and improve usability. We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal details, and users should avoid sending unnecessary private information.

1. Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy explains how GainingSun handles personal information when you browse the website, subscribe to updates, contact us, use search or quizzes, download resources, or purchase digital study material.

GainingSun is an educational current affairs and exam-preparation website based in New Delhi, India. This policy is intended to be clear and practical, but it is not a substitute for legal advice.

2. Information we may collect

Information you provide directly, such as your email address for subscriptions, messages sent to our contact email, correction requests, partnership enquiries, and support details related to downloads or payments.

Purchase and access information for paid digital products, such as order references, product title, payment status, download access logs and support correspondence. Payment card, UPI or bank credentials are processed by the payment provider and are not intentionally stored by GainingSun.

Technical and usage information, such as page visits, browser/device information, approximate location derived from technical data, cookies, security logs, error logs, quiz interactions and search/filter usage.

3. How we use information

To operate the website, provide current affairs articles, quizzes, downloads, search, category pages and user support.

To deliver newsletters or updates when you subscribe, and to let you opt out of such messages.

To verify payments, provide access to purchased digital products, prevent fraud, maintain security, troubleshoot errors and respond to support requests.

To improve content quality, site speed, mobile usability, search relevance, filters and learning experience.

4. Cookies, analytics and advertising

We may use cookies or similar technologies for basic site functionality, security, analytics, performance measurement, user preferences and advertising or monetization features.

If advertising networks, analytics providers or embedded third-party tools are used, they may process limited technical information according to their own policies. Users can control many cookies through browser settings.

We do not ask users to click advertisements, and we do not intentionally design ads to mislead users into thinking they are navigation or download buttons.

5. Sharing of information

We may share limited information with service providers that help run the website, such as hosting, database, payment processing, email, analytics, security, content delivery and support tools.

We may disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, to prevent misuse, to respond to legal process, or to investigate suspected fraud or security incidents.

We do not sell personal information as a standalone business product.

6. Payments and digital products

Paid downloads, if available, may be processed through Razorpay or another payment provider. Payment providers may collect and process payment details directly under their own terms and privacy policies.

We may retain order, payment verification and download-access information as reasonably needed for support, accounting, fraud prevention, legal compliance and dispute handling.

7. Data retention and security

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required for legal, tax, accounting, security or dispute-resolution reasons.

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no website, database, payment system or email communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

8. Children and student users

GainingSun is intended for exam aspirants and general educational use. It is not directed at children below 13 years of age.

Users below 18 should use the website with parent or guardian guidance and should not submit personal information, purchase material or subscribe to communications without appropriate permission.

9. Your choices and requests

You may request access, correction, deletion, withdrawal from email updates, or raise a privacy concern by contacting us at gainingsun19@gmail.com.

We may need to verify the request and may retain limited records where required for legal, security, fraud-prevention, accounting or legitimate operational reasons.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the website, applicable law, service providers or business features change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date.
