Google AdSense and Advertising Partners
Grammarshoot may use Google AdSense and other third-party advertising services.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on a visitor’s previous visits to Grammarshoot or other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve advertisements based on visits to this website and other websites on the internet.
Visitors may manage or opt out of personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings. Visitors may also use recognised industry opt-out services where available.
Third-party advertising vendors and advertising networks may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to measure advertisements, prevent fraud, limit repeated advertisements, and provide personalised or contextual advertising.
Grammarshoot does not directly control cookies or technologies placed by third-party advertising providers. Their activities are governed by their own privacy policies and settings.
Google explains how it uses information received from websites and applications that use Google services on its partner-sites information page. Google may receive information such as a visited page’s address, IP address, device information, and cookie data when its services are integrated into a website.
Consent for Visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland
Where required, visitors may be shown a consent message that allows them to accept, reject, or manage certain advertising and cookie choices.
Grammarshoot may use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform or Google’s Privacy & Messaging tools to collect and communicate consent choices.
Google currently requires an appropriate certified consent solution when personalised advertisements are served to users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland.
You may be able to change or withdraw your consent through the privacy or cookie settings displayed on the website.
Analytics Services
Grammarshoot may use analytics services, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors interact with the website.
Analytics providers may collect information such as pages visited, session duration, browser type, device information, approximate location, and referral source.
This information helps us identify popular content, fix website problems, and improve visitor experience.
You may be able to restrict analytics cookies through the website’s consent controls, your browser settings, or tools provided by the relevant analytics provider.
Third-Party Links
Grammarshoot may contain links to external websites that are not operated or controlled by us.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, or content of third-party websites. We encourage visitors to review the privacy policy of every external website they visit.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining records, resolving disputes, protecting the website, and satisfying legal obligations.
Messages that are no longer needed may be deleted or anonymised.
Data Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information under our control.
However, no website, email service, server, database, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors provide information at their own discretion and risk.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, applicable law may give you rights concerning your personal information.
These rights may include the ability to:

We may need to request reasonable information to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
Advertising and the Sale or Sharing of Information
Grammarshoot does not sell personal information directly in exchange for money.
However, certain advertising or analytics activities may be considered “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a “sale” under the broad definitions used by some privacy laws. Where legally required, visitors may be provided with consent or opt-out controls.
Children’s Privacy
Grammarshoot provides general educational content and is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly request or collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child has submitted personal information to Grammarshoot, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not a universally accepted technical standard for responding to these signals, Grammarshoot may not respond to every Do Not Track request.
Visitors may still manage cookies and advertising choices through browser settings, consent tools, and advertising preference services.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the website, services, technologies, advertising partners, or applicable requirements.
When changes are made, the revised date at the top of this page will be updated. Continued use of Grammarshoot after an update means that the revised Privacy Policy will apply to future use of the website.
