We respect your privacy and are committed to safeguarding personal identifiable information you may provide through our website and associated communication channels (such as email, WhatsApp, and form submissions). This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected on our website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two primary ways: information you voluntarily provide to us, and information collected automatically when you navigate our site.

• Device & Interaction Data: Screen resolution, device category (mobile, tablet, desktop), and interaction metrics to optimize responsive presentation.

3. How We Use Your Information

Alter Coding uses collected data for transparent, legitimate business purposes:

• To provide, deliver, and maintain our development services and academic project mentorship.

4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

Google is a third-party vendor on our site. Google uses cookies—specifically the DoubleClick DART cookie—to serve ads to visitors based upon their visit to altercoding.vercel.app and other websites across the Internet.

Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie and personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy & Ad Settings. Alternatively, you may opt out of third-party vendor tracking via aboutads.info.

These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology within their respective advertisements and links that appear on Alter Coding, which are sent directly to users' browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. Other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) may also be used by the third-party ad networks to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see.

Please note that Alter Coding has no direct access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.

5. Cookies & Web Beacons

A cookie is a small string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns.

The security of your personal information is extremely important to us. All web traffic to and from altercoding.vercel.app is encrypted in transit using Transport Layer Security (HTTPS/TLS).
