MicroNirala ("we", "us", "our") runs the website micronirala.com. We built this site for Pakistani students and young earners, and we take the same honest approach to privacy that we take to every guide we publish. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how you can reach us if you have any questions.
By using this website, you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
1. What We Do Not Collect
We want to be direct about this first, because it matters more than what we do collect:
- We do not sell your personal information — ever.
- We do not share your information with third parties for marketing.
- We do not track you across other websites for advertising purposes.
- We do not require you to create an account, log in, or submit any personal data to read our content.
- We do not use your data to build advertising profiles or target you with ads.
2. Information You Give Us (Contact Form)
The only place on this site where you voluntarily share personal information is our Contact page. If you choose to send us a message through that form, we collect:
- Your name
- Your email address
- The subject you enter
- Your message text
This is the only data we collect, and only when you send it to us.
How we use it
Contact form data is used for one purpose only: to read your message and reply to you if a reply is needed. That's it. We do not add you to any mailing list, we do not use your email for marketing, and we do not share it with anyone else.
How we protect it
Messages sent through our contact form are delivered to us via EmailJS, a trusted transactional email service, and land in a private inbox that only the MicroNirala team can access. The form is also protected by Google reCAPTCHA to prevent spam and automated abuse.
How long we keep it
We keep contact messages only as long as necessary to resolve your question. If you would like us to delete a message you've sent, email us at contact@micronirala.com and we will delete it.
3. Information We Collect Automatically (Google Analytics)
Like most modern websites, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use MicroNirala. This helps us figure out which guides are helpful and which need improving.
What Google Analytics collects
- Approximate location (city-level, never your street address)
- Device type — mobile, desktop, tablet, browser name and version
- Pages you visit on our site and how long you spend on them
- How you arrived — Google search, social media, a link from another site, etc.
- Anonymised IP address (Google truncates the last octet before storing it)
What Google Analytics does NOT collect
- Your name, email, phone number, or any contact information
- Any information from other websites you visit
- Any data you type into our contact form
This data is aggregated and anonymised — we see trends, not individuals. You can read Google's own privacy policy here. If you'd prefer not to be tracked by Google Analytics on any website, you can install the official Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
4. Advertising (Google AdSense)
MicroNirala is free to read, and to keep it that way, we display ads served by Google AdSense.
Google and its partners may use cookies to show you ads based on your visits to this site and other websites. This is how Google decides which ad to display. We do not control which specific ads appear and we do not have access to any personal data Google uses for ad targeting.
You can learn more or opt out of personalised advertising at:
MicroNirala has no involvement in the content of those ads, but we do enforce one rule on our side: we do not create content that promotes gambling, betting, fake earning apps, or misleading money-making schemes. That is a core editorial rule of this site.
5. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them only through the services mentioned above:
- Google Analytics — sets cookies to measure traffic and understand how you move through the site.
- Google AdSense — sets cookies to serve and measure ads.
- Google reCAPTCHA — sets cookies to detect bots on the contact form.
MicroNirala itself does not set any first-party tracking cookies. You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings — the site will still work, though the contact form's reCAPTCHA may refuse to accept your message without cookies enabled.
6. External Links
Our guides link out to real platforms, tools, and resources — Fiverr, Upwork, Google, YouTube, JazzCash, Easypaisa, and so on. Once you leave MicroNirala by clicking an external link, you are on someone else's website, and that site has its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for how those sites collect or use your data.
7. Children's Privacy
MicroNirala is written for adults and young earners (16+) trying to build an income. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal data through the contact form, please email us at contact@micronirala.com and we will delete it immediately.
8. Our Editorial Standards (Why This Affects Privacy)
We mention this in the privacy policy because it's directly related to trust. MicroNirala is built on three editorial rules:
- We do not promote gambling, betting apps, or casino-style products — ever, in any form.
- We do not promote misleading earning claims. Every figure on this site is a realistic, pre-tax estimate and is labeled as such.
- We do not sell courses or run "mentorship programs" that promise guaranteed income.
If you ever see content on this site that violates these rules, please report it through our Contact page — we will remove it.
9. Your Rights
You can, at any time:
- Ask us what data we hold about you. If we hold any (which is only possible if you've contacted us), we will tell you.
- Ask us to delete your data. We will delete any contact form message on request.
- Opt out of Google Analytics via the browser add-on linked above.
- Opt out of personalised ads via Google Ads Settings.
- Block cookies in your browser without losing access to any content on this site.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@micronirala.com.
10. Changes to This Policy
If we make a meaningful change to how we handle your data, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We will not quietly change this policy and pretend nothing happened.
