Last updated: 19 May 2025

1. About This Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how PareMate ("we", "us", or "our"), operated by Simon Jung Karki, collects, uses and shares information when you visit paremate.com (the "Site"). By using the Site you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We do not require you to create an account or submit personal information to use the Site. However, the following information may be collected automatically:

  • Usage data — pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, browser type and device type, collected via standard web analytics.
  • Cookies — small text files stored on your device used by advertising and analytics services (see Section 4).
  • Local storage — we store your device "likes" locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device except to update aggregated like counts in our database.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected to:

  • Operate and improve the Site
  • Understand how visitors use the Site (analytics)
  • Display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
  • Track popular and trending devices based on click counts

4. Google AdSense & Cookies

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out via aboutads.info.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services which may collect data independently under their own privacy policies:

6. Data Retention

We retain aggregated click and like count data indefinitely as it contains no personal information. Browser localStorage data is stored on your own device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

7. Your Rights (Australian Privacy Act)

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to:

  • Request access to any personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Complain about a breach of your privacy

As our Site does not collect identifiable personal information in normal use, there is generally no personal data held to access or correct. For any privacy concerns please contact us directly.

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
