Privacy Policy
1. Who We Are
EnglishRules.com (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is an educational website dedicated to helping learners of all levels understand English grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and language usage. We publish free articles, lessons, and guides for students, teachers, and anyone seeking to improve their English skills.
This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors and users of https://englisshrules.com/ and any subdomains or related pages operated by us.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily submit to us. This can occur when you contact us through a contact form, subscribe to a newsletter, leave a comment on a post, or otherwise communicate with us. The types of information you may provide include your name, email address, and any message content you choose to share. We only collect what you give us — we do not require registration to read our content.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you visit EnglishRules.com, certain technical information is collected automatically through standard internet technologies. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs (the page that linked you to us), pages you view, time and date of your visit, and the duration of your session. This data is collected in aggregate and is used solely to understand how our site is used and to improve the experience for all visitors.
2.3 Cookies and Similar Technologies
EnglishRules.com uses cookies — small text files placed on your device — to make the site function properly and to enable advertising through Google AdSense. Cookies help us remember your preferences, analyze traffic patterns, and deliver relevant advertisements. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, doing so may affect your experience on this and other websites.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
To operate and maintain the website and ensure all pages load correctly for every visitor. To analyze traffic patterns so we can understand which grammar topics and lessons are most useful to our readers. To respond to questions or messages you send us through any contact channel. To improve the quality and relevance of the content we publish. To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms when necessary.
We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making, profiling, or any purpose beyond what is described in this policy.
4. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising
4.1 How AdSense Works on This Site
EnglishRules.com participates in the Google AdSense program, which allows Google to display advertisements on our pages. Google uses cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites across the internet. This is known as interest-based or personalized advertising.
4.2 Data Shared with Google
When Google AdSense is active on a page you visit, Google may collect your IP address, cookie identifiers, device information, and browsing behavior data. This information is processed by Google in accordance with their own privacy policies. EnglishRules.com does not directly receive or store this advertising data — it is handled entirely by Google’s systems.
4.3 Opting Out of Personalized Ads
You have the right to opt out of personalized advertising. You can do so by visiting Google’s Ad Settings page or by visiting aboutads.info. You can also disable cookies in your browser settings to prevent interest-based ad tracking, though this may affect functionality across many websites.
5. Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with EnglishRules.com. Google Analytics collects anonymized data about page views, session duration, traffic sources, and geographic regions. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Third-Party Links
Our articles and lessons may contain links to external websites, including educational institutions, grammar references, and other language learning resources. These links are provided for your convenience and do not constitute an endorsement. EnglishRules.com has no control over the content or privacy practices of external websites, and we are not responsible for their policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.
7. Children’s Privacy
EnglishRules.com is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Our content — while appropriate for younger learners — does not include features designed to collect data from minors. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to remove that information.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry. Automatically collected technical data is retained in aggregated, anonymized form for site improvement purposes and is not linked to any individual user.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your country or region of residence, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to access the data we hold about you, the right to request correction of inaccurate data, the right to request deletion of your data, and the right to object to or restrict certain types of processing. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided at the bottom of this page. We will respond to verified requests within a reasonable timeframe.
10. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
