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.

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
