Welcome to ihaan.org ("we", "us", or "our"), a social bookmarking platform that allows users to submit and share links. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit our website (https://www.ihaan.org) or use our services. By accessing or using our site, you agree to the practices described herein. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Personal Information: When you submit a bookmark or contact us, you may provide your name, email address, or other identifiers. This is optional and used only for account creation or communication.
  • Submission Data: Titles, descriptions, categories, and external URLs you submit are stored in our database and associated with a unique redirect URL.
  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and cookies (e.g., via Google Analytics) to analyze usage and improve our site.
  • Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent, and interactions (e.g., clicks on redirect links) collected anonymously where possible.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive data (e.g., financial details) unless required for specific services, and we will notify you if such collection occurs.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., Google Analytics) to enhance your experience and collect usage data. You can manage cookie preferences via your browser settings. By continuing to use our site, you consent to our use of cookies as described.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your information with:

We do not share submission data (e.g., titles, URLs) beyond what is publicly displayed on the site unless legally compelled.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data, including encryption and secure server protocols. However, no online transmission is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You use our site at your own risk, and we are not liable for unauthorized access beyond our control.
